The Packers have a relatively low payroll.
Where will it go up?
1) Pickett and Kampmann extensions.
2) Natural escalation of young players contracts
3) Keeping a restricted free agent or 2 like Collins.
4) A free agent
Where will it go down?
1) Clifton had a big contract and he may be gone or facing a big pay cut to stay.
2) Possible trade. The surplus at LB could make Barnett (not a 3-4 LB) Bishop, or Hawk possible trades. At WR Nelson or Jones could be trade bait. Not a very high probability but something to consider.
Overall the Packers can afford to increase the payroll and it is not a problem at all. Ted has built a quality team relatively cheaply and one of the best for going into an uncapped era.
In 3 years once the new CBA is signed the Packers may need a lot of money quick. It will be there.
It is a big picture topic where the Packers have few worries. They can only react once the new CBA is in place.
