GREEN BAY, Wis. – What happens when you run out of cap space? You lose perhaps the best punter in franchise history.

Corey Bojorquez, an unrestricted free agent, will not be brought back. The Packers simply don’t have the cap space for a veteran punter. Acquired in a trade with the Los Angeles Rams after training camp, he played under the fourth-year minimum salary of $920,000. Heading into Year 5, Bojorquez will cost $1.035 million. A rookie, by comparison, will cost $705,000.

Green Bay has three kickers on the roster but no other punter.

Bojorquez ranked 11th in the NFL with a 46.5-yard average – the best mark in Packers history – and 17th with a 40.0-yard net average. His 82-yard punt at Chicago was the longest in the league. He had 18 punts inside the 20 with four touchbacks. Those were all improvements over the man he replaced, 2018 fifth-round pick JK Scott.

Are the Packers not offering him a contract? or are they clearly being out bid?

My guess is the Rams releasing their Punter was a sign they wanted Bojo back.

What stinks is if the Packers wouldof signed WR Beckham, they possible would of made it past the 49ers instead of the Rams.

I'm not sure what you are confused about. Bill Huber is saying the Packers will not re-sign him. Generally, agents will disclose that to a reporter to get their clients name out there as someone that is available. If Packers were outbid, then the headline would have probably been Packers lose Punter to Team X. 🤷‍♂️

Also, if the Packers weren't outbid, wouldn't they be in the race still?

I think Bojo was the best in recent memory, at minimum since Rodgers has been QB, maybe Favre too?

That's how I read the situation at least, but I could be wrong. If they're cutting him just to resign after the initial cap-clearing period (as you mentioned in the Cobb thread), that would make some sense.

dfosterf (4h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

beast (4h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...
beast (4h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
