How Much Cap Space Do L.A. Rams Currently Have?

With free agency and the NFL Draft in the rearview mirror, here's a look at how much cap space the Los Angeles Rams have.

Les Snead and Sean McVay have completed a bulk of the offseason lifting for the Los Angeles Rams, highlighted by an NFL Draft class that included 14 overall selections. 

Now that the NFL Draft is in the past and most notable free agents have signed, how much-remaining cap space do the Rams currently have? According to Over The Cap, the Rams have just shy of $1.95 million in cap space at their disposal. The only teams in the NFL with less cap space right now are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers ($618,791), Minnesota Vikings ($1.12 million) and New York Giants ($1.57 million).

Snead, seemingly aware that the Rams need to get their finances and draft pick stock back in order, was especially blunt at the NFL Owners Meetings in late March. 

"We're the ‘boring’ Rams this year," Snead said. 

"So that when we do get to a moment where we think, 'OK, let's press the gas again,'" Snead continued, "you have the capability to do it."

Cooper Kupp ($27.8 million), Aaron Donald ($26 million), Matthew Stafford ($20 million), Rob Havenstein ($9.7 million) and Tyler Higbee ($9.13 million) will have the five highest cap numbers on the Rams in 2023. The Buccaneers are the only team who will have more in dead cap money next year than the Rams, who are on the hook for $74.22 million. 

If the Rams take their medicine in 2023, there could be some light at the end of the tunnel. Not only are the Rams slated to have a first-round pick in 2024 -- their first since 2016 -- but they will have more than $53 million in cap space, and maybe they can hit the 'gas' one more time.
