The Packers’ excellent veteran safety is getting a check a week earlier than expected and helping his team free up a little bit of cap money for the coming season. The Green Bay Packers made a minor move on Friday to free up a small amount of salary cap space for the 2021 season. Green Bay has until 4:00 PM Eastern on Wednesday to get under the cap, which is set at a base value of $182.5 million, and they have around $9.4 million to go.
On Friday, the Packers reportedly restructured the contract of safety Adrian Amos, picking up $750,000 in cap space for the season. According to Bill Huber of SI.com , the team converted Amos’ $1.5 million roster bonus (which was due to be paid out on March 20th) into a signing bonus. By doing so, that money gets split up evenly over the two remaining years of the contract, shifting $750k off the 2021 books and into 2022.
Amos was one of the NFL’s best safeties last season, and has lived up to the hefty four-year, $36 million deal he signed as a free agent in 2019. He has recorded more than 80 tackles in each of his two years in Green Bay, adding two interceptions in each season and a total of 17 passes defended. Importantly, he has also contributed in a variety of alignments, playing well in the box and as a deep safety, as well as lining up as a hybrid inside linebacker at times.
Although this move does not make a huge dent in the Packers’ cap overage, every little bit of added space helps as the team gets ready to begin the new league year.

A little here. A little there and pretty soon you are talking about real money.

It's nice to be able to rework the Amos contract a little.

Martha Careful (2h) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (17h) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (19h) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (19h) : S2?

beast (19h) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (20h) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (20h) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (21h) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (22h) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?
