What Can St. Louis Rams Do to Clear More Salary-Cap Space for 2015 Offseason?

With the 2015 offseason approaching, many are wondering if the St. Louis Rams will have the necessary salary-cap space to partake in the ferocious bidding wars for veteran players. 
Sites such as Spotrac provide a nice overview, but salary-cap management is deeper and more complex than many believe. This article won't pretend to understand the subtle loopholes and footnotes that few have access to, but we can still examine the surface and gain a solid understanding of where the Rams stand this offseason. 
Simply put, the money is there if the Rams want it. Setting aside funds to sign the 2015 draft picks and re-sign key in-house free agents (Kenny Britt, Joe Barksdale) will push the cap number close to the limit, but there are a number of veteran cuts to be made, and that will allow the money to flow. 
If the Rams part with these veterans as expected, the team will have to freedom to make a splash in free agency.
