Somehow, Packers did it again!!

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.
