Only six teams have less salary cap space than Green Bay’s $3.425 million. Here’s a look at the updated salary-cap status for all 32 teams counting their top 51 contracts as of Saturday.

The Green Bay Packers have $3.425 million in salary cap space, according to financial figures provided to Scout.com’s Aaron Wilson.

While that figure is as of midday Saturday, it does not include the contract finalized with free-agent defensive end Anthony Hargrove on Friday. It does, however, include free-agent center Jeff Saturday’s two-year contract that’s worth $7.75 million. His 2012 cap figure is $3.175 million, according to Wilson's source.

Until rosters are finalized at the end of training camp, only the top 51 salaries count against the salary cap.

How come literally no one includes the signing of Daniel Muir in anything? When you add Muir and Hargrove to that, that sure doesn't leave us with much room to sign our draft picks.

It's also important to keep in mind that this number doesn't represent Drivers upcoming restructuring or the potential releasing of Clifton. Who knows what other cuts/trades/additions will be made, also. This number doesn't mean much to me at this point. There's not hurry to make any moves until they either decide to add another free agent or until around/after the draft. There's not worry in my mind about being able to sign our draft picks. We're just in more of a waiting period right now awaiting further transactions.

I think the important thing to point out is the fact that only the 51 highest salaries count against the cap until after final cuts.

What do we have on the roster right now, 80 players or so?

After we cut 15-25 players, the cap will have a bit more room in it.
I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

I didn't think it would mean much. It is just a snapshot of what is as of today.

An article that brought me to this story mentioned that it is assumed Clifton will be cut and DD restructured. I was thinking it was a part of the story I put in here so I didn't mention it again.

I'm not worried about either, what i meant by my post was more like: Well that limited space its guaranteed that we're going to have to do something with clifton/driver in order to sign our picks/sign any more free agents.

Yeah, I'm still not convinced Driver should stick around, even at veterans minimum. Our 4th/5th receiver should have at least some special teams value, i.e. blocking punts and such like one of the young guys seems to have a knack for (Gurley?). I would be surprised if Clifton comes back, although he could still probably play as well or slightly better than Newhouse, when healthy. I'm guessing his fate depends on Sherrods health and/or what type of offensive linemen are drafted. If we don't draft any solid tackles and Sherrods health is in question, I'd love to see him back at a reduced salary, but I don't imagine those things happening.

McCarthy hopes to see something from Sherrod this summer.

"He's there (at the facility) every day," McCarthy said from Palm Beach, Florida. "He looks better every time I see him. They're projecting probably training camp, so we'll know more when we get to OTAs. Hopefully, he can get out there in June and do something."

Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (53m) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is
Zero2Cool (1h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true
beast (1h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management
wpr (3h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Mucky Tundra (11h) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago
beast (12h) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years
Zero2Cool (18h) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.
packerfanoutwest (18h) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it
beast (19h) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done
Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.
Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore
packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!
Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!
beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno
beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?
packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.
beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue
