Packers are under the cap.😀

Still more restructures  can be done.

Sitting here wondering who is next.


"We'll probably restructure everybody."

That was Brian Gutekunst, somewhat tongue-in-cheek, during his season ending press conference when asked about the possibility of continuing the practice of restructuring contracts every offseason the past few years in an effort to keep the core of the team in tact and stay under the salary cap. 

After lowering Aaron Jones cap number last week, Gutekunst and contract negotiator Russ Ball are at it again, most recently having restructured the contracts for Jaire Alexander and Preston Smith to the tune of $16 million in cap savings. 



The #Packers  restructured the contracts of stars Jaire Alexander and Preston Smith, source says, creating $9.456M and $6.668M in cap space. … The #Jaguars  did the same for LB Foye Oluokun, creating $10.336M.

These moves should put the Packers under the salary cap but they are most likely not done yet, with possible restructures available for guys like Kenny Clark and David Bakhtiari, expect to see several more adjustments by the Packers front office prior to the start of the new league year on March 15th. 

Ken Ingalls has a full breakdown of the two restructures:

I am guessing they are clearing this years cap because they have to get below but also making room for Rodgers cap hit. I don't like the idea of pushing contracts down the road and now 2024 we are really screwed lol. If you take the top ten players for 2024 with the Jordan Love $20 million figured in with Rodgers still on the team we are sitting at $215.7 million of the $235 estimated cap lol.  so around $19 million to divide up between 43 others and the practice squad. You have to pay sometime and can't just keep pushing down the road.As much as I hated Ted Thompson he kept us from cap hell, and I am willing to bet he would have traded  Rodgers last year instead of the huge contract extension.

 
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

No. They need to get under the salary cap per league rules. Nothing to do with Rodgers. He plays for Packers or retires or traded, the Packers still need to abide by the rules. 

I'm with you. Pushing the problem down isn't good. I bet you all miss Ted Thompson now huh
