The Superbowl is here and today we are talking about one of last year’s Superbowl teams and the team with the number 1 overall pick in the draft.
Rams have little money to start with - with an estimated $19,546,864 in free cap. They also have a major problem in that they can’t really clear up their cut with easy cuts.They can get some marginal savings from cutting, Nickell Robey-Coleman CB-clearing $4,500,000, Eric Weddle FS ($500,001 dead cap) clearing $4,250,525 and Clay Matthews, OLB, ($2,000,000 cap ) getting about $3,750,00 in savings
The Rams also save a bunch of players potentially leaving in free agency- including Dante Fowler Jr., Andrew Whitworth LT, Michael Brockers DT, Cory Littleton ILB, and Greg Zuerlein the Kicker. They also don’t have a first round pick in the NFL draft for the next two years (2020 and 2021 NFL Drafts). Also does Whitworth retire? Can they fix the o-line that made their team take a step back?
One thing is clear the Rams need to fix the offensive line, they have some major players departing and they are crushed under the cap. They could also use some cornerback depth and maybe some pashrush? Its a mess with the Rams- hopefully they figure out a way to get some relief or McVey is gonna lose the clout he’s built the last few years.
The Cincinnati Bengals are returning with Zac Taylor who went 2-14 in his first year. They have an Est. $48,029,642 in free cap. That's decent but keep in mind the Bengals tend to be cheap.
They can clear some cap by moving on from Quarterback Andy Dalton which saves $17,700,000, Left Tackle Cordy Glenn, saving $9,500,000, and strong safety Shawn Williams ($400,000 in dead cap ) $4,085,000 in savings.
.
Some guys potentially leaving for free agency- A.J. Green, Darqueze Dennard CB, Tyler Eifert TE, John Jerry G, Nick Vigil OLB, Andrew Billings DT, and RFA Guard Alex Redmond. This team needs DT, O-line, playmakers and they can’t afford to be losing too much of the talent they have.
Good News! They do have all their picks in the 2020 NFL draft this year- and top off each round and the draft with the number 1 overall pick. Clearly Joe Burrow is the top player in conversation for the number 1 overall pick. There’s been some rumors with interest in Justing Herbet as well and Chase young always has to be in consideration. Maybe a major trade will happen? For the number 1 pick? For Andy Dalton?
