This is what they get. Very glad to see it happening to them. And what did they just do? They brought back Whitworth, a 38-year-old OT who showed his decline last year, at 3 yrs, $30M.

Fine with me. I started to go to ramsondemand.com and I never realized how f-cking annoying Rams fans have become. They talk more sh-t than I remember Seahawks fans did. Screw them.

Rams are losing cap space even with their releases… which shows how eager they are to flee those old contracts, open up some roster space, enter rebuild.

But Goff's contract is inescapable, Ramsey wants a new deal, and the Rams don't have a first-round draft pick until 2022.

I'm interested to see what they will have to pay Ramsey.

A Very arrogant bunch for a team who's Been mostly average since 2002.

Maybe he's not as healthy as they were letting last season?

Remember when Fisher was their HC. He was their Singletary, solid but totally overrated, not able to take the next step in despite of the talent the team has.
McVay arrived, improved a lot. however the next best idiot is just around a corner who ruins everything aka GM. Morons.

Gurley, washed out running back at 25.

on the first glance, they would have lost against the cap.
however, his release will be a post June the first, hence they indeed save cap space.

His 2021 roster bonus of $5 million and 2020 salary of $5.5 million would both have been guaranteed starting tomorrow. They're taking a hit in dead cap space by cutting him ($8.4 million in signing bonus gets moved up to 2020). Their 2020 cap space would have been higher if they kept him (the only thing they save in 2020 is his $5.5 million in salary), but they save a lot of money down the road. If he isn't going to fully recover, this makes sense from a long-term perspective.

If the Rams kept him through 2023, they would have had to pay him $57.15 million. His cap hit in 2020 is $20.15 million. They didn't think he was worth the incremental $37 million over 4 years which is probably a good call.

Net impact on cap space by year (excluding roll-overs):
2020: -$2.9 million
2021: +$13.2 million
2022: +$14.2 million
2023: +$12.5 milion

They don't technically save space this year, but they save a ton of space beyond 2020. Starting tomorrow, it would have been much tougher to move on from Gurley because another $10.5 million would have been guaranteed.
