NFL Draft: Rams have smallest rookie pool set aside for salary cap in 2025

[ASFN Admin]

The Los Angeles Rams won't be spending a lot of salary cap on their 2025 NFL Draft class.

L.A. has the smallest draft pool set aside for rookie deals this year at $6.734 million, according to Over the Cap. The New England Patriots have the largest at $18.887 million.

The reason the Rams don't have to allocate as much much is because 1) they didn't have a first-round pick, 2)the team's most-expensive pick was the No. 46 pick worth just $1.766 million and 3) they only had six selections.

Here is the breakdown of how much each pick will cost the Rams in effective salary cap space in 2025:

• TE Terrance Ferguson (No. 46): $1.766 million
• OLB Josaiah Stewart (No. 90): $1.140 million
• RB Jarquez Hunter (No. 117): $1.089 million
• DT Ty Hamilton (No. 148): $949,645
• (No. 172) LB Chris Paul Jr.: $920,054
• WR Konata Mumpfield (No. 242): $867,135

This all means the Rams should have a little less than $11 million in salary cap space once their rookie class is signed. That's a nice chunk of change to make some moves for veterans ahead of the 2025 season, if the Rams want to go down that route.
