Only six teams have less salary cap space than Green Bay’s $3.425 million. Here’s a look at the updated salary-cap status for all 32 teams counting their top 51 contracts as of Saturday.

The Green Bay Packers have $3.425 million in salary cap space, according to financial figures provided to Scout.com’s Aaron Wilson.

While that figure is as of midday Saturday, it does not include the contract finalized with free-agent defensive end Anthony Hargrove on Friday. It does, however, include free-agent center Jeff Saturday’s two-year contract that’s worth $7.75 million. His 2012 cap figure is $3.175 million, according to Wilson's source.

Until rosters are finalized at the end of training camp, only the top 51 salaries count against the salary cap.

How come literally no one includes the signing of Daniel Muir in anything? When you add Muir and Hargrove to that, that sure doesn't leave us with much room to sign our draft picks.

It's also important to keep in mind that this number doesn't represent Drivers upcoming restructuring or the potential releasing of Clifton. Who knows what other cuts/trades/additions will be made, also. This number doesn't mean much to me at this point. There's not hurry to make any moves until they either decide to add another free agent or until around/after the draft. There's not worry in my mind about being able to sign our draft picks. We're just in more of a waiting period right now awaiting further transactions.

I think the important thing to point out is the fact that only the 51 highest salaries count against the cap until after final cuts.

What do we have on the roster right now, 80 players or so?

After we cut 15-25 players, the cap will have a bit more room in it.

I didn't think it would mean much. It is just a snapshot of what is as of today.

An article that brought me to this story mentioned that it is assumed Clifton will be cut and DD restructured. I was thinking it was a part of the story I put in here so I didn't mention it again.

I'm not worried about either, what i meant by my post was more like: Well that limited space its guaranteed that we're going to have to do something with clifton/driver in order to sign our picks/sign any more free agents.

Yeah, I'm still not convinced Driver should stick around, even at veterans minimum. Our 4th/5th receiver should have at least some special teams value, i.e. blocking punts and such like one of the young guys seems to have a knack for (Gurley?). I would be surprised if Clifton comes back, although he could still probably play as well or slightly better than Newhouse, when healthy. I'm guessing his fate depends on Sherrods health and/or what type of offensive linemen are drafted. If we don't draft any solid tackles and Sherrods health is in question, I'd love to see him back at a reduced salary, but I don't imagine those things happening.

McCarthy hopes to see something from Sherrod this summer.

"He's there (at the facility) every day," McCarthy said from Palm Beach, Florida. "He looks better every time I see him. They're projecting probably training camp, so we'll know more when we get to OTAs. Hopefully, he can get out there in June and do something."

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
