Rams Trade for McDuffie, Face Cap Constraints

0:00On March 4th, the Los Angeles Rams just pulled off a big trade for cornerback Trent McDuffy from the Kansas City Chiefs on Wednesday morning. They gave up four draft picks, including the 29th overall selection and now faced tighter salary cap constraints. McDuffy is wrapping up his rookie deal with a fifth year option worth $13.6 million, fully guaranteed for next year. That entire amount slams into the Rams cap this season, leaving no dead money behind for the Chiefs. At the start of the day, the Rams had $40.2 million in cap space, but adding McDuffy drops them to about $27.5 million. His cap hit ranks fifth on the team, sliding between a couple of key linemen and running back Kyron Williams. Team Insiders note this still leaves plenty of room to maneuver, especially if they cut cornerback derriest Williams to free up 7.5 million dollars or tweak deals for quarterback Matthew Stafford, and why receiver Devonte Adams.

1:00Looking ahead, a long-term extension from McDuffy could spread out future costs and ease the pressure even more, keeping the Rams flexible as they. Build for a strong run. Build for a strong run. ress Exactly. Back in the 19th 후 then set to back Matthew Stafford and wide receiver Deventee
