They might franchise Jones, but that's still a lot to pay.

They'll draft a CB, WR, RB. Grab a long snapper. Oh yeah, DT. I'd bring back Sternberger and Josh Jackson, but we'll see what the team thinks. Lock down Tonyan.

BRADLEY IS GONE.

I suspect the below players could be released due to the salary cap. Certainly, Rashan Gary is ready to supplement Preston Smith as starter. Funchess would be a WR4. I don’t think you pay that kind of money to a WR4. The other two are more complicated, but Lowry hasn’t played up to his contract and Kirksey is probably the No. 2 ILB at this point.

Devin Funchess
Dean Lowry
Christian Kirksey
Preston Smith

I thought I heard Funchess was paid this year so he plays for nothing next year. I don't see how that is possible.

---

I think players that opted out received a $150,000 salary advance. I wouldn't be surprised if they just cut the contract and draft a WR in round one or two and roll with what they got. He signed a $2.5 million contract or something.

Wow I was just looking and I am surprised how so many teams are way over the salary cap. Green Bay is $31 Million over. And you look at the contracts and you see Rodgers and the smith Brothers make up 42% of our cap. Then you look at the teams with tons of cap space and you have your usual teams like the Jets and Jags but then you get the Colts and coming in at #6 with $28 million in cap space is the Tampa Bay Bucs. Once again this proves why Brady is the GOAT He takes $27 Million so they can get other players around him. Rodgers who believes the hype and is pissed people don't claim him as the Goat is on the books for $37.5 Million. Hard to build a team around him when you don't have money to spend.

The Packers need to go all in this year.
Whatever they have to do, they have to do it.
After all, if the goal is not to win a Super Bowl, what’s the sense of even showing up?
They need to get the guys on defense to be able to beat the better teams. It’s obvious they need pieces that they don’t have right now.
Yes, it’s true that Rodgers eats up a lot of cap space. But without him, this team wouldn’t win 13 games and make the playoffs at all without him. We’d be the Lions or Bears.
They blew the shot this year, big time. And Rodgers has his chances in the 4th quarter. He was under constant pressure, and just like I said about Brady, pressure him and you can beat him. Tampa did that to our QB.

I'm better than any NFL General Manager! I got us to $185 million without blowing up the roster. And we have $2.9 million to spare, PLUS, the $8 million Bakhtiari freed up. That's $11 million to get the OL rebuilt and maybe add a free agent veteran WR who is ring chasing.

In this fantasy scenario I made just three moves and got us down to $188 million and we have 59 players. Sure, there's no RT, but like that will make the offense look any different!

Restructured Aaron Rodgers (Saved: $9,316,667)
Released Ricky Wagner (Saved: $4,250,000)
Released Preston Smith (Saved: $8,000,000)
