Packerraymond Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 39 minutes ago, Chili said: Just a quick thought. Could we have lost the Bennett appeal so his cap charges are being counted? We lost that over a year ago. There's nothing that's changed with our cap. We had 17+m, we signed Lewis, we signed GMo, we didn't cut Tramon. Now we're down to a smidge over 13. Draft picks will take 4ish of that and we usually leave a 5m carryover. That leaves us with about 4-5 to play with. Enough for one reasonably priced player or 2 low salary guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon14 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I had kind of figured the Packers were around 5M or so in terms of what they had left to spend after factoring in draft picks. I don't think this is particularly surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just slightly worried about 2020. If they do dip into free agency anymore, I hope it is for one year deals. I don't care about cap this year, I care about 2020. Being up against it now is fine, I just don't want any more cap charges into 2020. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packers are currently sitting at 26M in cap space for 2020 and will get to 34M after they inevitably cut Jimmy Graham. It's not a ton, but there won't be a cap crunch for GB in 2020. EDIT: Spotrac has GB currently at 26M, OTC has GB at 39.9M because of different NFL salary cap assumptions. OTC is assuming a 200M cap, Spotrac is assuming 188M.

Green19 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 There you go Tom... see not that difficult. Love the can they sign anyone else part. Yeah, because they aren’t handing out big contracts anymore this FA... it’s probably why Riley walked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chili Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Anyway could the $8m and $5m difference could be what we paid Geronimo to keep him here? $2m under the tender but had we put a 2nd round tender instead we would've paid him $3m. That difference could imply we decided to give Geronimo the $3m after all? Edited March 19, 2019 by Chili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a difference, we have 13m in cap. Silverstein made a bad report and now he's looking for rational to try and cover his butt. Everyone needs to pretend his first tweet never existed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaginawReunion83 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I would've loved to see Curtis Riley leave with a contract yesterday. Really hope Mo will take a Marcedes Lewis type deal...if he gets healthy I still think he could be extremely disruptive with how deep this d-line will be.

I mean he made a mistake, but the report was with a caveat and he said wait for more information. Probably not something to do agian but not the end of the world.
