Somehow, Packers did it again!!

---

They did it by kicking the can down the road, which they can only do because they know a lot cap rise is coming (due to new TV contracts) which they're spending before they get it... and by pretty much (so far) not resigning anybody...

Yes they agreed to a deal with Campbell, but I bet it's not going to be signed untill after this cap check.

Teams have to be under the cap limit at the start of the year, and during the season, but not during the preseason.

So now in FAs teams can go back over the cap and then figure out how to get back under the cap after signing FAs and draft picks.


Packers still need to sign
ILB Campbell
CB Douglas
Punter
Draft picks
Maybe TE Tonyan?

An extensions to one or more of the following could seriously help. WR Adams, CB Alexander, S Amos, DT Lowry, OL Jenkins
.
Though they can't seem to agree on a price for Adams, which honestly WRs are seriously seriously getting over paid right now, as long as Adams wants under $30 million, that might look like a good deal in two years. But I think Packers are looking too much in the past where Adams and his agent are looking at some of the ridiculous deals #2 WRs have been getting and with the new TV contracts coming #1 WRs will probably soon be over $30 million per year and Adams is a #1 WR.

CB Alexander and OL Jenkins dealt with injuries last year, and you might want to see him back at their elite standards before giving them long term deal.


Which leaves Amos and Lowry... which I think the Packers should look into getting them extension because they're glue that holds others together. Especially Amos, the guy might not be elite but seriously, he makes very few errors... Lowry isn't elite either and can make errors, but other than Clark and Lowry all we have is Slaton right now at DT. Then again with us not tendering Black all we got at S is Savage and Amos. We need to sign a FA or draft at these positions even if these guys do get extensions.

Cobb is a true Packer. Thank you Randall.

I like how all these places say they took a pay cut when in reality he probably got a raise but just changed to signing bonuses and such that won't effect the cap number.

---

I don't know who "they" is, but Randall Cobb salary was slashed, not restructured. Adrian Amos for example was restructured meaning he is still earning the same as he was before the restructure.

To be more clear.

Cobb - took LESS money
Amos - same money, different allocation

Agreed. It is a very selfless move on his part. Kudos to him.

Let’s be honest here: he’ll be making more in a year than most of us will be making in twenty, and that’s coming on the heels of a season in which he contributed very little. The reality is he likely wouldn’t have been receiving many other offers. If you have to choose between making a cool $3 million or nothing at all, it looks like a no-brainer to me.

I find it difficult to believe there is not 1 single team out there that would not give him $5 mil for a year or $7 for 2 years. This is the NFL and there are a lot of stupid GMs.

A guy does something selfish and still we got people dragging on them. What a world.

It's a sad day when even Bill gets it, and some don't.
