What's the Salary Cap going to be in 2020? The CBA also expires after the 2020, that could also throw a wrench into things.

Either way, I see Aaron Rodgers not restructuring his $32 million cap hit for 2020. Taking around 17% of whatever (adjusted $188,200,000) the cap is gonna be is just a bit absurd.

Teams could be expecting an uncapped year but I think that has been addressed. I know when the CBA expired in 2010 (I think it was) it said right in there that if a new deal wasn't reached by a certain date 2011 was going to be uncapped but they still took steps to keep teams in line.

The problem with Rodgers' numbers is that if you restructure for more room in 2020 it just puts that much more pressure on subsequent years. His salary in 2020 is 1.1 million but he has a guaranteed roster bonus of 19.5 million. They could convert that to a signing bonus and gain about 15 million in cap space but that would add 4 million to his cap hit in each of the next 4 years.

I thought about this a bit more. While we may currently be at 28 million in space with only 31 guys signed we gotta remember we are still predraft. So let's assume it is really 22 million with 41 guys. Still horrible but sounds a tiny bit better.

Beast beheld:

That's what I finally realized Ted Thompson did for years... people say he didn't draft for need, but he did... just it was often next years FAs class... give them one year to work together and learn and then the FA might be let go.

A very interesting theory.

In a sense, that approach was the worst of both worlds.

Buckeye burrowed out:

The short end of it is that the uncapped year in 2010 was the result of the owners' unanimous decision to void the old CBA in favor of constructing a new one. A new agreement could not be reached by 2010, so the year was left uncapped.

An uncapped year would have provided a great place to dump salaries or signing bonuses for teams with deeper pockets, but the owners agreed to maintain the original cap in order to preserve parity.

Good Stuff... makes me wonder about planning for an uncapped year.

Agreed completely. Fully expecting to be irrelevant once Aaron retires. What's 10 mill in cap space while he is gone? Still gets his money.

This all for Aaron. I don't ever wanna hear about how the franchise has let Aaron down again. This is ALL for him

Mike got his way last year, fell flat on his face. This time, Aaron got HIS way. And Mike isn't here to tank his chance.

Put up or shut up, Aaron.

Per Tex Western

Packers have less than $5 million in salary cap space after errors identified, per report

Perhaps this is why they didn’t make more of an effort on Breeland.

Apparently there were some errors in calculating our cap space for this year. I will start a new thread on THAT one.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : In your face, HBO!

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim
Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )
dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?
Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?
Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?
dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out
dfosterf (24-Jul) : Fleece 'em again!
Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Malik Willis might be someone Jets come after
packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Packers introduce 1923-inspired classic uniform, leather-look helmet

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Happy to see site feels more snappy snappy
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : No sir. I did not.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?
wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.
dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it
Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

wpr (23-Jul) : It's funny the PA complained about the locker room. It wasn't that long ago it was top shelf. Things change in a hurry.
wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.
