What's the Packers numbers for the salary cap?

$3.05 million freed up by releasing Nick Collins
$5.71 million freed up by releasing Chad Clifton


(I think they will get half at least of Donald Drivers $5 million too)

Not including Anthony Hargrove's contract, we now have 12.61 million in cap space. If I remember right, Hargrove signed for the veteran minimum, so in reality we are probably somewhere between 11.5 and 12 million.

Source is PFT's latest salary cap update from march 30th which has us at 3.4 million (did not include Hargrove's signing).

Packers : $11.25 million as of June 22, 2012.

source?

See where it says "Packers: $11.25 million" and "Packers" is in yellow... that's because it's a link (to his source). Click it and you'll see his source is PFT.com... or just click the link below...

Packers: $11.25 million.
Vikings: $10.59 million.
Bears: $3.97 million.
Lions: $3.77 million.

I like having the most cap room to play with in the division... of course that money is going to Jenning's/Lang's new contracts (and or to save for Matthew/Raji contracts) but still it's nice to have.

That may or may not have been there when I posted that...but thanks.

I'm kind of surprised the Packers are in the top half (maybe 10) with salary cap space.

Good point. Could of been edited it later.



I'm not... the Packers tend to front load deals and they got a lot of contract coming up after the 2013 season.

After this season it's something like Jennings, Lang and Brad Jones.

After next season it's something like Matthews, Raji, Burnett, Finley, Starks, Shields, Pickett, Newhouse, Neal and more... seem a like a ton and all of the big names might not be resigned...

First, I'm also surprised we're doing so well in cap room. Secondly, it surprises me that you even mentioned Brad Jones. I'm fully expecting that he does not even make the 53 man roster this season, the idea of keeping him + even considering resigning him next year seems like a stretch to me.

Like I said... I think it's mainly because we're in the second to last year part of a lot of deals. (also because Cliffotn, Collins and Driver are taking less)



I just named him because it's 3 guys... why not name them all if there is that few?

For the year after that... there is also J. Jones, Saturday and maybe more...

and Rodgers is the year after that...
