Rams Weigh Cap Moves for Aaron Donald Return With Just $1.3 Million Space

Summary
$1.3 million in cap space has left Los Angeles exploring ways to fit Aaron Donald if the 10-time All-Pro ends his two-year retirement for an 11th season.
Kevin Dotson is the biggest clean-cap option: an extension could free $11.8 million, while an Alaric Jackson restructure could create another $8.8 million but push costs into future years.
Smaller savings could come from extensions for Colby Parkinson at $4.6 million, Puka Nacua at $3.6 million and Kobie Turner at $2.2 million.
The cap squeeze follows Monday's blockbuster trade for Myles Garrett, which sent Jared Verse plus 2027, 2028 and 2029 draft picks to Cleveland and sharpened focus on whether the Rams can add Donald too.
