Packers are under the cap.😀

Still more restructures  can be done.

Sitting here wondering who is next.


"We'll probably restructure everybody."

That was Brian Gutekunst, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, during his season ending press conference when asked about the possibility of continuing the practice of restructuring contracts every offseason the past few years in an effort to keep the core of the team in tact and stay under the salary cap. 

After lowering Aaron Jones cap number last week, Gutekunst and contract negotiator Russ Ball are at it again, most recently having restructured the contracts for Jaire Alexander and Preston Smith to the tune of $16 million in cap savings. 



The #Packers  restructured the contracts of stars Jaire Alexander and Preston Smith, source says, creating $9.456M and $6.668M in cap space. … The #Jaguars  did the same for LB Foye Oluokun, creating $10.336M.

These moves should put the Packers under the salary cap but they are most likely not done yet, with possible restructures available for guys like Kenny Clark and David Bakhtiari, expect to see several more adjustments by the Packers front office prior to the start of the new league year on March 15th. 

Ken Ingalls has a full breakdown of the two restructures:

I am guessing they are clearing this years cap because they have to get below but also making room for Rodgers cap hit. I don't like the idea of pushing contracts down the road and now 2024 we are really screwed lol. If you take the top ten players for 2024 with the Jordan Love $20 million figured in with Rodgers still on the team we are sitting at $215.7 million of the $235 estimated cap lol.  so around $19 million to divide up between 43 others and the practice squad. You have to pay sometime and can't just keep pushing down the road.As much as I hated Ted Thompson he kept us from cap hell, and I am willing to bet he would have traded  Rodgers last year instead of the huge contract extension.

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

No. They need to get under the salary cap per league rules. Nothing to do with Rodgers. He plays for Packers or retires or traded, the Packers still need to abide by the rules. 

I'm with you. Pushing the problem down isn't good. I bet you all miss Ted Thompson now huh

wpr (15h) : now 3

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024
Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.
dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.
Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
