LA Rams news: the team has reportedly resolved the 2020 salary cap overage by restructuring the contracts of QB Goff and RT Havenstein.

The latest LA Rams news has the team making good on their 2020 I.O.U.’s, or at least that was the latest reports available. We had reported that the LA Rams have found the money to pay for the 2020 salary cap deficit, both A’Shawn Robinson and Leonard Floyd, two new free agent kickers, and the 2020 NFL Draft class, by restructuring the contracts of quarterback Jared Goff and right tackle Rob Havenstein.

The only thing left to decypher is how these legal paper rewordings have impacted the team’s 2021 salary cap space. So far, those details are a bit sketchy. In fact, neither Spotrac.com nor OverTheCap.com, has published any of the LA Rams financial solutions for the 2020 salary cap.

That means neither website has a true picture of how the 2021 salary cap will play out. And even before the team’s future is corrected to reflect the portion of 2020’s salary pushed forward, the team is already in a tight spot.

The details for both contracts’ restructurings are not yet available for several reasons.  The Rams are not an open book on their financial details. And this time of year is a tsunami of financial impacting items at salary cap websites scrambling to reflect the likely contract impacts of the NFL Draft plus the small army of undrafted players whose contracts can include significant signing bonuses.  While the details will prove to have significant interest to many, those details are not yet ready for release.
