Sometimes the best deal is post June. If the Packers do a trade of Aaron Rodgers after June, couldn't they use the "savings" on Rashan Gary contract?

Post June savings would save no cash, only cap space.
Extending Gary would cost cash, but because of NFL cap rules of signing bonuses, would actually free up cap space.
So no, you don't need to save cap space to complete an additional action that would also save cap space.
Both actions free up cap space, so I don't understand why you keep asking as if they would have opposite effects to cancel each other out.
Or maybe restructure some guys to eat 2023 cap instead of 2024 cap?

You're asking if you can push cap forward, just so you can later move it back... if you want to free 2024 cap space then just don't do anything, no need to create extra work.
But sure, you can make four left turns just so you can make four rights turns, and have absolutely nothing change but waste a lot of gas and/or paper.
