Rams create $3 million in cap space by restructuring 2 contracts
The Rams restructured Kyren Williams and Kam Curl's contracts to create $3 million in cap space.
The Los Angeles Rams have struggled with cap space this season due to their aggressive roster-building and frequent roster changes from injuries. On Tuesday, the team restructured contracts belonging to Kyren Williams and Kam Curl to generate $3 million in additional cap room, according to ESPN's Field Yates. Spotrac explained that the Rams added two void years to each player's contract and converted $2 million of Williams' salary and $1.7 million of Curl's salary into signing bonuses.
This allowed the team to spread the combined $3.7 million across the remaining years of the contracts, creating space this season. Prior to these moves, the Rams were about $600,000 over the salary cap. Although the restructurings don't guarantee immediate signings, they provide the Rams with a cushion for future roster decisions, such as bringing in a wide receiver or other players if needed.
