It's a good move to first help get under the cap and then add needed talent.

It looks like that was the low hanging fruit to free up some money.

You can cut some guys here.

Making these moves puts us at $185 million and some change. (does not include the $8 million from Bakhtiari).

At the start of the season, I might have agreed on Turner. And although he did not have a good NFC Championship game, he was incredibly versatile throughout the year. IDK if he is a potential answer at RT, but if so, it is much easier to find guards than tackles.

Point being: there are ways to structure to cuts under CBA to get even more cap room.

I'd also extend Adams (and Ja Money too... cuz we/I love him). From what Gutey said right around the end of the season (before playoffs started), the Packers expect to be players in the secondary market (i.e., released vets that won't count against compensatory pick calculations). That'd be smart, too, because that secondary market is likely to have a lot more talent than normal years. So, while I'd expect the Packers to chase (and hopefully get Watt), I don't think the Packers are in cap savings mode with just Watt in mind... in other words, I'd expect a couple well-known names to be on the Packers' radar after the draft.

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress
