This from Dang off another site, but I like it very much:
I see a fair amount of restructured players (Stafford, Kupp, Woods, Higbee, Donald, Ramsey). Let’s say hypothetically the Rams get aggressive. From what I’ve read that could result in $60m cap reduction in 2022. Whit retires adds $16m. Trade Hekker adds $2m.
Currently at -$10m cap. That leaves $68m.
Hypothetical:
Miller. $14m
OBJ $3m+ incentives (out 10+ games)
Allen $6m
Gay $2m
Noteboom $8m
Shelton $1m
Howard $1m
Mundt $1m
Reeder. $1m
That’s $37m.
Leaving $31m for rooks and maybe couple of FAs:
Rashul Douglas CB $6m
M Glowinsky. OG $6m
X Woods. FS $5m
Rooks. $3m
Net cap $11m.
The current NFL champions of the world
(LA Rams) are getting ready to put the puzzle pieces together for their "Title Defense".
Like all of you epic Rams fans, I'm so happy to be a part of this team.
I'm very nervous and excited to see how McVay and his coaching staff combined with Snead, Pastoors, Demoff & Kroenke go about collaborating on the best strategy to capitalize on winning two straight Lombardi trophies.
In the NFL, winning back-to-back Super Bowl Championships is probably the hardest of all the professional sports.
The
Seahawks,
Patriots and
Chiefs are the most recent teams to make to consecutive Super Bowls but none of them were able to win consecutive Lombardi trophies.
The Last team to win back-to-back Super Bowls was in 2004 & 2005.Super Bowl XXXVIII (Feb. 1, 2004):
Patriots 32, Panthers 29
Super Bowl XXXIX (Feb. 6, 2005):
Patriots 24, Eagles 21
The last 3 teams with an opportunity to win back-to-back Super Bowls.Super Bowl XLVIII (Feb. 2, 2014):
