The offseason is underway for 30 of the NFL's 32 teams and they now know the salary cap they'll be working with in 2023. The NFL informed teams that the cap will be set at $224.8 million for next season. That's up from $208.2 million for the current season and reflects the uptick in revenue [more]

We super screwed huh

Only $17 millon over the cap lol, no problem we will just be paying for players that are on other teams lol. Maybe they will let us win a few games because of it? I don't see Aaron Jones or Rodgers back and I see Bahk gone also and we will be signing a lot of low priced players and most draft picks will make the team. Wow I just looked at some of the contracts to see what we could cut and we kicked a lot of contracts down the road. 

1 - Preston Smith  is under contract till 2026 :(
2- Mason Crosby is a Million dollar cap hit if we don't sign him to a contract
3- Dean Lowry  $1.86 million
Damn and we only excerisied the 5th year option on Gary? So he will be leaving the following year lol. We don't have to many veterans on this team if you look.

Take the salaries of the top 10 paid and we are at $165 million, which leaves $59.7 million for the for the other 43 players.


This reminds me of the Sherman days when we had to let all of the oline go because of the piss poor slaray cap management.

Should Russ Ball lose his job? 

Let’s see how they handle this situation. I think Rodgers is definitely gone.

Rodgers is not gone. He's got a $99.7 mil dead cap hit. His $31 mil cap is a little tough to take but it is doable. 
Bak is still here. They can add a couple of void years and make it all very affordable.
Gary is not going anywhere. After all the adjustments are made they will sign him to a 5 year deal with a $100 mil signing bonus.
Preston, Lowry and Crosby are not the issue. They can keep them or let them go.
I can see Cobb going after this season but it is not the money but it helps.

I believe his dead cap is terrible in 2024 if he stays with Green Bay. I don’t think there’s anything we can do about it in 2023 but I don’t know anything about the salary cap.

Nor do I. Both Overthecap and Spotrac say $99.7 mil in 2023. 
His cap hit in 2024 is $40 mil. Dead cap $24 before June 1 and $16 after June 1. Whether or not it is accurate, IDK.

Rodgers contract is a unique contract, Andrew Brandt has even said certain aspects about it, he's never ever seen in a football contract before.

Plus Rodgers has openly stated, if he's traded, he'll have to adjust said contract...

So I wouldn't spend too much time into figuring his out... because there are options and different ways one could read things and it could all be changed in a month...

Plus Rodgers has openly stated, if he's traded, he'll have to adjust said contract...

Only pointing this out because the context matters here as I know some will freak out.

I believe Aaron Rodgers said "I don't think there would be a scenario where I'd come back and that would be the number.. definitely things would have to shift"

Rodgers cap hit is $40 million and if he plays its $31 million. As a youtuber pointed out if they bring Rodgers back they will have to bring Cobb, Mercedes and Lazard back and then your looking at almost $50 million easily so it would be better off just getting rid of Rodgers. Also I ask you how much do you want to keep kicking down the street? We are already in a shit hole with tons of dead cap down the line go look at contracts lol. Look at 2024 salaries as is and you have the top 9 guys is taking up $190 million of the salary cap.  Look closer the top 3 is $97 million between Rodgers, Bahk, and Clark  we need to bit the bullet and move on from Rodgers and Bahk . This is what happens when you don't play smart and you just keep pushing stuff down the line. I hated Ted Thompson but he had the balls to know when to let players go and not pay them. I don't see that with Gute and they let Rodgers pull a Lebron James and ruin the team by demanding he says who gets paid and who don't.

Because a youtuber sitting in his basement knows so much more than the Packers front office about how to run a $4 billion dollar organization right? He knows exactly what they plan to do even though THEY DON'T know all their options yet.   🤔

So many people were screaming for the Packers to "GO ALL IN". This is what happened. AR12 is in his latter years. They took a shot. 3 TIMES! It didn't pan out. Now they need to work on fixing the cap mess. It can be done. 
You know, it's so frustrating to read how Rodgers is running Gute and his staff around. He was upset a few years ago about not being a part of the conversation. That has been repaired. He asked for Cobb to be signed. That was done. It's not as if he is the ne demanding certain players be signed or kept or he's going to have a meltdown. Yet that narrative keeps on going and going and going and going and going.

This is true. I made the mistake of trying to explain how words matter to folks on Tweeter. Had to pull my ass out of that mess real quick. 

Rodgers has said he does not want to MAKE DECISIONS, but he wants to be A PART of them. He wants a SEAT AT THE TABLE because he feels with his plethora of experience, he can offer input that might HELP make decisions. He's been consistent on this. Yet, folks assume because he wants to have a voice, that means he wants to be THE voice. 

I really blame idiotic apps like TikTok, Facebook, Tweeter, SnapChat for this trend of people failing to understand the meaning of words. It requires a little bit of thinking and folks just ain't got time for that! SCROLL, GOTTA SCROLL!!! 

BTW, GET OFF MY DAMN LAWN!!!!
