It’s been a busy offseason for the Los Angeles Rams and they’re probably not done yet. After already signing several players, including a few of their own, the Rams are quickly eating into their $46 million in cap space.
On Friday, they restructured Aaron Donald’s contract to free up $9.2 million in cap room, according to Jason Fitzgerald of Over The Cap. Donald came into the offseason with a cap hit of $34.2 million, the second-largest on the team, but that number has dropped to $24.97 million with this restructure.
The downside is Donald’s cap hit has jumped to $38.5 million in 2025, which is only a void year when he’s not actually under contract. A restructure is not a pay cut, but it does give the player more money up front.
That could be why Donald shared a cryptic, out-of-context clip of himself dancing this week because he knew this was coming.

According to Over The Cap, Los Angeles now has $19 million in cap space, but that doesn’t account for the contracts of Colby Parkinson, Darious Williams or Kamren Curl.
