$14 million in savings
Adams his most yards in a game since Week 2. Which was 89 yards. That’s not an $28 million receiver, which is Adams’ 2026 cap hit right now. It’s doubtful a team would trade for Adams’ $18 million base salary, meaning that the Rams probably just outright release Adams, but he was signed to win the Super Bowl this season. He’s only holding the Rams back if the Rams use up one of their starting receiver positions and all that cap space on him. If the Rams open $14 million from their books by releasing or trading Adams, they will have enough money to get any available receiver who they want to get.
