After being predicted to go over the cap going into the new league year, the Los Angeles Rams have done a fantastic job of controlling the salary cap this offseason. To stay within the restriction, they didn’t even need to make any significant cutbacks. The Rams were able to save cap space in 2022 as a result of the three players’ pricey new contracts, which together totaled more than $13 million.
