According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the Rams' five veteran cuts on Monday cleared $18.8 million in salary cap room. The Rams entered Monday $1.2 million under the cap, so they should enter the free agency period with roughly $20 million to spend. It's plenty to make a run at a top-flight free agent such as Cortland Finnegan, though St. Louis may look to spread its money around a bit more. Other rumored Rams free agent targets include DT Jason Jones, CB Eric Wright, and WR Pierre Garcon.
