The Los Angeles Rams have been operating with minimal cap space all year, which is the result of their aggressive roster-building strategy in pursuit of a Super Bowl. It doesn't help that they've had to continuously shuffle the roster due to injuries, constantly needing to bring new players in to fill those voids.
On Tuesday, the Rams restructured a couple of contracts to free up some much-needed cap room for the rest of the season. According to Field Yates of ESPN, they created $3 million in cap room by restructuring Kyren Williams' and Kam Curl's contracts.
Spotrac provided additional details on those moves, noting that the Rams added two void years to each player's contract. They then converted $2 million of Williams' salary into a signing
bonus, and did the same with $1.7 million of Curl's salary. That allowed the Rams to spread that combined $3.7 million out across the remaining years of each player's contract, creating additional space this year.

Converted $2M of RB Kyren Williams' salary into signing bonus, adding 2 void years, creating $1.7M of cap space.
Converted $1.7M of S Kamren Curl's salary into signing bonus, adding 2 void years, creating $1.3M of cap space.
According to Over The Cap, the Rams were about $600,000 over the salary cap before these moves, which is why they were necessary. This isn't necessarily a sign that the Rams are going to sign a free agent in the immediate future – although they still could, of course.
By doing these two restructures, they now have a cushion to work with if they do feel they need to sign a wide receiver or bring in help at another position.
