LA Rams Salary Cap 2022: Urgency to win the Super Bowl now

The Los Angeles Rams have qualified for the Divisional Round after defeating the Arizona Cardinals in the Super Wild Card Weekend by a score of 34-11 and their financial stake is very strong to win the Super Bowl played at their own home, SoFi Stadium next February 13, the present looks very good, but the future may be, to say the least, challenging.

Of the 32 teams in the NFL, the Rams are the second-to-last worst when it comes to their unused 2021 salary cap rollover, according to the team's own report, they will only be able to use $137,725 to help free up salary cap space.

Little money to make salary cap space

That number is not the end, the NFL performs an audit after the Super Bowl where it takes into account the contracts of their numbers and the bonuses and incentives generate a balance with which the aforementioned $137,725 is adjusted up or down to be able to use it now if in the salary cap 2022.

Without taking that number into account, according to OvertheCap.com, Los Angeles is going to start next NFL year $5,150,928 over the salary cap, meaning they should shed salary burdens of that amount to simply break even and more to be able to negotiate new contracts with free agents or draft picks in the upcoming draft.

List of players that could generate savings

All of this means they must cut players and according also to OvertheCap.com, the list of savings is as follows:

- Andrew Whitworth ($13 million in cap space).

- A'Shawn Robinson ($5.5 million).

- Rob Havenstein ($5 million).

- Robert Woods ($10 million, with a cut with a post-June 1 designation).

- Taylor Rapp ($2.54 million).

This means that the window to win the Super Bowl is definitely now, the Rams have urgency because after Super Bowl LVI the economic decisions should definitely affect the great roster level they have now.
