Rams face salary cap compliance deadline following Aaron Donald contract signing

Aaron Donald announced his return to the Los Angeles Rams on a one-year contract following a two-year retirement. The deal is structured with void years to limit his 2026 cap charge to $5.8 million, though the team still faces a potential salary cap deficit. Reports from Over The Cap and Spotrac differ on the exact status of the team's cap space, with one indicating the franchise is $1.37 million over the $301.2 million limit. The team must reach compliance by Week 1 of the NFL season. Potential options for the organization to clear space include restructuring contracts for Stafford or Davante Adams to lower current cap charges.
