One thing’s for sure, if they were gonna make a play for Khalil Mack, they’d have to free up some cap space.

Personally, I’d stand pat, keep both firsts for next year. Get a coule blue chip pass rushers in a draft that will be deep in that position, have them for a decade.

Sign Khahil Mack to a 3 year $29 million contract that is fully guaranteed.
$7 million, $10 million and $12 million.

Of course, not the best example, but it wouldn't be hard to use that guaranteed cash to really push someone over the top of signing or a signing bonus that is spread out over the duration of the contract.

As Andrew Brandt says, if there is a desire to sign someone, the team can find a way to make it happen.

I would say throw a 1st round pick plus Clay Matthews and a 3rd rounder for 2020 Draft that can go up to 2nd round at the Raiders for Mack. That'll free up ~$10 million of 2018 cap, and it's an upgrade at the position. Win-Win.

Miller got 70 million guaranteed I doubt Mack would settle for 29 unless you are planning on adding a big signing bonus to that amount. He is scheduled to make 13 million this year and he is holding out I don't see him signing for the next 3 years for less than that.

Second those 2019 and 2020 numbers will likely go down after we sign all our FAs or their replacements. those numbers represent the players under contract for those years we will undoubtedly need to add a few more to get up to our full roster compliment. On top of that with the numbers I expect Rodgers to get I don't really see his new deal offering much in the way of first year cap relief (as some restructures do) unless it hits the back end very hard and I don't like that idea.

You can certainly make it happen but that does not mean its a smart move.

I'm banking on Mack wanting a ring more than cashing in. He knows Aaron Rodgers gives you that chance. Even Jon Gruden is quoted to say 'We weren’t very good last year, on defense, with Khalil Mack.'.

Back to Miller's contract, he's scheduled to have cap hits of $25 million in 2019 and 2020 and another $22 million in 2021. Base salary is just ~$17 million each of those years. And there's an out in 2020 for the Broncos. Essentially making it a four year contract. I'm saying three year deal (and I even said the $29 million wasn't best example so back off [boxing] 😝 ) FULLY guaranteed with a legitimate Super Bowl contending team.

He gets one or two super bowl rings, then around 30 years old some team (e.g. Browns) sign him for some crazy $100 million after the 2020 season (remember, CBA expires after 2020 season).

What I'm getting at here is the allure of winning a ring, plus the FUTURE salary cap available of the Packers plus having that second 1st round pick in 2019 gives the Packers a lot of ammunition that with the right pitch to Mack and creative configuration of salary would not be as difficult as some are saying.

Back to Gruden's comment ... maybe Mack is playing hard ball in spite of Gruden and would take less with the Packers than he would with Raiders?

Every NFL player's dream is to win the super bowl. Mack won't be getting there with Raiders. He could be what puts the Packers over the top. The Packers can/should take some of a risky deal (saying go kinda crazy) because I highly doubt we'll continue our fortunate of Favre to Rodgers to ...

I won't look into their hearts and minds and tell you it is 10% or 40% but there are many who would not be there if there wasn't the chance of the huge payday. It's a generalization and to take it one step further I suspect that the larger number of these men are younger and thus are still in their rookie contracts. They know they may only get one chance at the big contract and they don't want to miss out. They will work hard and get through the first 4 or 5 years and then cash in. Once they have that under their belt they can then look around for other things like championships.

Trade Aaron Rodgers and Brett Hundley straight up for Carr and Mack.

Packers don't have to worry about extending Aaron, Carr is under contract, Mack could be signed.

Okay. I'm banking Mack wants a ring more than money based on the few interviews I've heard.

And 'every' was too strong. I think a vast majority of NFL players dream of winning the Super Bowl. There are certainly some who play because of the financial side of things. I just think those are really far and few inbetween because to excel at this level, you really have to work your ass off.

How much were the Raiders offering Mack? I imagine any negotiations start there and usually the team trading for a player pays more than that.
