What's the Salary Cap going to be in 2020? The CBA also expires after the 2020, that could also throw a wrench into things.

Either way, I see Aaron Rodgers not restructuring his $32 million cap hit for 2020. Taking around 17% of whatever (adjusted $188,200,000) the cap is gonna be is just a bit absurd.

Teams could be expecting an uncapped year but I think that has been addressed. I know when the CBA expired in 2010 (I think it was) it said right in there that if a new deal wasn't reached by a certain date 2011 was going to be uncapped but they still took steps to keep teams in line.

The problem with Rodgers' numbers is that if you restructure for more room in 2020 it just puts that much more pressure on subsequent years. His salary in 2020 is 1.1 million but he has a guaranteed roster bonus of 19.5 million. They could convert that to a signing bonus and gain about 15 million in cap space but that would add 4 million to his cap hit in each of the next 4 years.

I thought about this a bit more. While we may currently be at 28 million in space with only 31 guys signed we gotta remember we are still predraft. So let's assume it is really 22 million with 41 guys. Still horrible but sounds a tiny bit better.

Beast beheld:

That's what I finally realized Ted Thompson did for years... people say he didn't draft for need, but he did... just it was often next years FAs class... give them one year to work together and learn and then the FA might be let go.

A very interesting theory.

In a sense, that approach was the worst of both worlds.

Buckeye burrowed out:

The short end of it is that the uncapped year in 2010 was the result of the owners' unanimous decision to void the old CBA in favor of constructing a new one. A new agreement could not be reached by 2010, so the year was left uncapped.

An uncapped year would have provided a great place to dump salaries or signing bonuses for teams with deeper pockets, but the owners agreed to maintain the original cap in order to preserve parity.

Good Stuff... makes me wonder about planning for an uncapped year.

Agreed completely. Fully expecting to be irrelevant once Aaron retires. What's 10 mill in cap space while he is gone? Still gets his money.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

This all for Aaron. I don't ever wanna hear about how the franchise has let Aaron down again. This is ALL for him

Mike got his way last year, fell flat on his face. This time, Aaron got HIS way. And Mike isn't here to tank his chance.

Put up or shut up, Aaron.

Per Tex Western

Packers have less than $5 million in salary cap space after errors identified, per report

Perhaps this is why they didn’t make more of an effort on Breeland.

Apparently there were some errors in calculating our cap space for this year. I will start a new thread on THAT one.

Zero2Cool (8m) : 27, 59, 91, 129 gets you Jaire and our 3rd

Zero2Cool (9m) : they give us those five, or even first four, they can have Jaire.

Zero2Cool (9m) : 27, 59, 91, 129 and 136 are only ones worth having of theirs.

dfosterf (15m) : What they don't have is cap space, at least presently at 5.6 mil

dfosterf (24m) : Poor bastards only have 11

Zero2Cool (34m) : Ravens ain't got crap for picks.

Zero2Cool (34m) : Aaron Rodgers is choosing between Steelers and Giants. The Vikings are officially out on him, per RapSheet

dfosterf (53m) : Current cap space 29.6 million.

dfosterf (58m) : Hobbs 2025 cap hit just under 6 million. Banks 2025 cap hit just over 9 million

Mucky Tundra (7h) : beast, this is news to me! Tell me more about these, "draft picks." They seem mighty mysterious! 😉

beast (9h) : Yes, the Ravens have draft picks

dfosterf (10h) : Good luck to him.

Zero2Cool (11h) : Eric Stokes signs with Raiders

Martha Careful (12h) : Tyler Linderbaum C

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Cap space?

Zero2Cool (12h) : Do Ravens have anything we'd even entertain to have?

Mucky Tundra (15h) : I've seen trade ideas of Jaire going to the Ravens all offseason

beast (16h) : A probably false rumor is suggesting CB Jaire Alexander is being traded to the Ravens, again probably false

beast (16h) : Commanders might have a dominant offense the next 3 years at least

Zero2Cool (18h) : San Francisco 49ers announced they have released DL Leonard Floyd.

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Er getting traded twice like that

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Huh, LT Laremy Tunsil traded from Houston to Washington. Never heard of a top OT getting traded in his career like that

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : on new site, would Fan Shout and GameDay Chat show same messages?

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : The Hall of Fame stuff probably came from a scout as Zero said; at this point though it's hard to see them moving ZT from RT

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : Regarding ZT at C, Gute had said he felt C was ZTs best position after he was drafted.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : LB Oren Burks to sign a 2-year, $5M deal with the Bengals.

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Based on how it was worded at the time, probably scout.

beast (10-Mar) : I don't think the media person ever told the public the source, but Gute or LaFleur did say they thought Tom has earned his spot at OT

beast (10-Mar) : I think it was supposedly unnamed Packers source

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Was that Gute or Lefleur or someone else?

buckeyepackfan (10-Mar) : Zach Tom could be a really good guard, an all pro tackle, but probably be a HOF Center. Who said that?

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : It's March 10th. I don't think anything is done.

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : if we think CB is done, we have a poor roster

Mucky Tundra (10-Mar) : CB and OG in FA, narrows down the top of the draft board a little

Martha Careful (10-Mar) : Meh....I hope we can get Ward 49ers or Murphy Vikings

Zero2Cool (10-Mar) : Yes

dhazer (10-Mar) : to be honest the freee agent market isnt that great this year so I can handle a 500 yr or sub 500 is fine, i see us as 4th in division
