But two years out, counting everyone except for Donald, the Rams still have over $100 million in cap space. So $80ish million factoring in Donald.
Even if Goff was not on a rookie deal, we're talking $60 million - although with several players needing to be signed, in that hypothetical the core of Goff/Gurley/Donald is taken care of with plenty of room to spare.
Les Snead might be the best GM in the NFL now.
Correct. But, your not factoring in other signings & players getting extensions, etc. Believe me, the window in the NFL is shorter than you think! Unless you have a Tom Brady & BB.
The Rams this off-season have pushed all their chips into the center of the pile. As they smartly should do. They have a golden opportunity to strike now & take advantage of their current cap situation.

Other teams will start to chip away at that team over time (each year). Successful teams tend to not only lose players, but also coaches & front office personnel. This Rams team as currently constructed is stacked. But, due to the cap, age & injuries, that will change.
