The NFC champs will have a couple big names hitting free agency in the offseason. With limited cap flexibility, money management will be key to staying contenders.
The Los Angeles Rams made plenty of moves to become contenders, and it’s paid off. Obviously — the team stands today just 60 minutes from raising the Lombardi Trophy in their home stadium. However, the other side of mortgaging the future for the successful present is how to navigate the salary cap for this season and beyond.
Head coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead will certainly have some turnover between now and the start of next season. 17 players on the 53 -man roster are free agents, including some of their most productive assets. Restructure will be the theme behind navigating the salary cap in pursuit of remaining a Super Bowl contender.
