Rams free up $9.2m in cap space and essentially confirm Donald’s return for 2024

The Los Angeles Rams restructured the contract of superstar defensive tackle Aaron Donald on Friday morning, according to Jason Fitzgerald of OverTheCap.com. The move saves the team $9.2 million against the cap this season.

Donald held the biggest cap hit on the team, coming into the year with a $34.2 million price tag. His cost will now drop to $24.95 million this season, however it will bump his 2025 cost up to $38.5 million.

This is great for the Rams for two reasons, one is the obvious goal of clearing cap space for the incoming rookie class, as well as any additional free agent additions.
