“More Than $60 Million in Space in 2024”: Former Super Bowl Winners’ COO Writes Emotional Address Amidst Trade Rumors

The offseason is a time when teams restructure themselves and their rosters. From trading players to restructuring salaries to building cap space, franchises engage in different strategies to uplift their chances of a title contention-worthy season. It is the time when teams go back to the drawing room to reassess their mistakes and downfalls in the past season to come out stronger in those fields. 

In the midst of the offseason frenzy, Super Bowl LVI winners’ COO wrote a heartfelt letter to address the fans of the franchise in the NFL.

Kevin Demoff addresses fans in a heartfelt letter

Los Angeles Rams COO Kevin Demoff addressed fans in a heartfelt letter on the team’s website. In the letter, Demoff talked about how the team is prepping to compete for the NFC West division title and march forward toward Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. He further talked about how during the trade deadline last year, the Rams neither had the draft capital nor the cap space to engage in trade conversation to acquire top-rated players for their team.

The Rams had to choose between restructuring the contracts of players or replenishing their draft caption and improving their salary-cap situation. They chose to go with the latter. This led to them having 11 draft picks in the 2023 draft and also having the capital for possible trades to go through.

Demoff said, “From a salary cap perspective, while we have had to move on from players who helped us lift a Lombardi Trophy at SoFi Stadium, we have taken all of our salary cap pain in 2023 and project to have more than $60 million in space in 2024, the most salary cap space we have had since our move to Los Angeles.” The Rams have a slow progression with the trade window this season, as they traded CB Jalen Ramsey to the Dolphins for two first-round draft picks and TE Hunter Long.

Los Angeles Rams looking forward to a Super Bowl 2023 season

The Rams seem to be betting most of their money on fresh new talents in the NFL. They will be expecting Cam Akers, Cobie Duran, Van Jefferson, and Ernest Jones to build upon their performances to take up more prominent roles in the roster. They will also be looking forward to the 2023 NFL draft pick to assemble a new team worthy of winning the NFC West division and ultimately making it to the Super Bowl playoff spot.

While the team has also assembled a new coaching staff, fans will be excited to see how the Los Angeles Rams push forward in their dreams of pursuing the Super Bowl LVIII trophy. What do you think of this approach by the team? Will they finally make their dreams come true, aided by all this new talent? Or is it a foolish bet to make? Let us know in the comments.
