The Packers got underneath the salary cap Wednesday as required by league rules. It required some trimming. The Packers cut receiver Randall Cobb's salary by about $5.5 million, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports. Cobb was due to make around $8.5 million. The Packers brought Cobb back to town last season after Aaron [more]

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.

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.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

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

I find it difficult to believe there is not 1 single team out there that would not give him 45 mil for a year or $7 for 2 years. This is the NFL and there are a lot of stupid GMs.

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

Zero2Cool (2m) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.
Zero2Cool (2m) : HUMP DAY
beast (15m) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast
beast (16m) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?
Zero2Cool (21m) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.
Zero2Cool (22m) : I could be wrong there though
Zero2Cool (22m) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (2h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it
beast (2h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.
beast (2h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty
Mucky Tundra (14h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty
beast (16h) : Cowboys denied Bears request
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game
Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy
Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is
Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol
beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.
beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact
Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy
Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)
Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games
Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.
