The Chiefs had 300 dollars, yes 3 Benjamins, and were still able to give Mahomes the biggest deal in NFL history and make Kelce and Jones the highest paid players at their positions. The salary cap is fake.

Yup, the Rams were $400k over the cap on Tuesday and then come out on Wednesday and pay Ramsey $21m per. Cap is bogus.

Its because all his big cap hits are after this year.  Next year is when it will really start effecting their cap and epecailly if the extend Kupp.  Their salary cap will definitely be an issue after this year having all that money tied up in 4 players

There are no real surprises with Ramsey’s contract, but the Rams are essentially looking at a cap hit of at least $20 million in each of the next five years for their star corner.

Pair that with Jared Goff and Aaron Donald, whose contracts will have combined cap hits of at least $50 million each year through 2024, and the Rams have a good chunk of their salary cap accounted taken up for the foreseeable future.
