For the past year, salary cap expert website OvertheCap.com has projected a 2024 salary cap of $242 million, which set the L.A. Rams for $27.7 million in room for next season. That does not include a few items that will eat up a little bit of that space—OTC projects $24.8 million in “effective” cap space—but is generally thought to be in the vicinity of what will happen. Now we know that the number could be off by as much as $8 million in the Rams favor.
Rumors emerged on Monday that the salary cap could be $243 million, but PFT’s Mike Florio reported that a source said the number will be much higher and could be $250 million.
