Originally posted by saniner:The Rams are spending $74M so they can have Jared Goff & not have Todd Gurley & Brandin Cooks on their roster.

They're eating $38M in dead cap between Gurley ($20.2M) & Cooks ($17.8M).
And they are spending a $36M cap hit on Goff (#1 most in NFL).
This makes me happy though
Will be a few more bucks for Cooks. They paid his 2020 roster bonus so $21.8M

One more:
About 20% of the Rams salary cap this season will be dedicated to players not playing for them.

This makes me feel better
This is what happens when you make splashy moves to satisfy your fans instead of going through the process.
