Alex Marvez, of FOXSports.com, reports the Green Bay Packers are $29 million under the salary cap, according to figures obtained Monday, May 18, by FOXSports.com.


I'm glad we didn't have room to sign any free agents.

You didn't happen to notice how many current players are up for contract next year did you? Yeah, I didn't think so.

---

Since when is next years contracts going with this years? I know you will say extensions but i really don't see any of the big name players signing an extension.

---

How about Jennings? I'm not sure about rookies, but since they're as yet unsigned for the most part, doesn't that mean their salary will need to be included in this year's cap numbers?

---

Name one big name player on the Packers that Ted didnt sing to an extension

I can name more than a few that have

DD

Nick

Al

Kamp

your turn

Jennings
Collins
Colledge
Spitz

Just off the top of my head...

Yes they are included in that number

Let's see, this same argument was used last year to prove Ted Thompson doesn't know what he's doing. We had loads of cap room going in to OTA's and minicamps and by the end of the summer most of the cap room was used up or moved forward into this season. All teams do it. Unattainable incentives, changing salary money into bonus money etc. etc.

When people don't understand the business side of the sport they should just keep their mouths shut, close there eyes and wish really hard that BF will come back and play for us again.

Another thing you're not taking into consideration: the salary cap is going up by over $5 million more than was anticipated a few months ago. The new figure was announced only last week.

In addition to the rookies and any FA's that might come our way...

(This is some sort of practical joke thread or something, right? You guys are just messin' with ol' dfoster, right? No one is seriously arguing that we are supposed to be deferring the signing of our guys whose contracts are expiring until next year, right?)

Everyone knows that those contracts expire on March 1st, right? As in a little more than 9 months?

DeShawn Wynn, Greg Jennings, Ruvell Martin, Tory Humphrey, Chad Clifton, Tony Moll, Daryn College, Jason Spitz, Ryan Pickett, Alfred Malone, Johnny Jolly, Aaron Kampman, Brandon Chiller, Tramon Williams, Will Blackmon, Nick Collins, Atari Bigby, Charlie Peprah and Jeremy Kapinos.

And the cap room is 29.447 million, not 29 million, imo.

Before some even think of reaching for that keyboard...

If the plan is to say that Ted is going to let some of them go, etc.

Go find ol' dfosterf one example where you...as in you...personally, supported his decision to do so--- this is directed at the Ted haters. You know who you are...I damn sure do.

This thread is dhaze f##king with me. I just know it.


Good one, dhaze, ya got me.
