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.

dfosterf (30-Jan) : So eeri

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Now that's a thought, maybe they're looking at the college ranks? Maybe not head coaches but DC/assistant DCs with league experience?

beast (30-Jan) : College Coaches wouldn't want that publicly, as it would hurt recruiting and they might not get the job.

beast (30-Jan) : I thought they were supposed to publicly announce them, at least the NFL ones. Hafley was from college, so I believe different rules.

Mucky Tundra (30-Jan) : Who knows who they're interviewing? I mean, nobody knew about Hafley and then out of nowhere he was hired
