When do Rams rights expire?

[Jolly Blue Giant]

Well, it's no secret what the Rams will be looking for in the draft now

When do Rams rights expire?

never

When a player retires with time still on their contract, they go on the reserve retired list.  If they unretire the player is bound by the remaining time on the contract.

Another Jerry Reese blunder.

Kudos to Aaron Donald on a hell of a career. 

Maybe it's just me, and I'm sure this was all in good nature, but Justin Pugh should know to NEVER associate someone with Lawrence Taylor.  That man is in a class of his own with regards to greatness and impact on the game.  Aaron Donald can lay claim to fame as one of the best 3-techniques to ever grace the field along with Warren Sapp and Mean Joe Greene. They still aren't Lawrence Taylor.

Curious about the cap implications here.

Curious about the cap implications here.

depends on if the retirement is designated post June 1. 

If it's not, then the Rams salary cap takes a $37,316,668 hit (increases) this season


If it's post-June 1, then it's $1,209,999 savings this season and then two seasons of just under $20 million cap hits

Exceptional career. One of the all time greats of the sport.

 The guy has enough money and he has his health. Smart move. I wish him well.

Maybe he can replace Romo in the booth.
