Malfatron Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 since there will be no football this year, should we frontload all contracts. and spend in FA in 2021? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaegybomb Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Just cut everyone and roll it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexGreen#20 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 (edited) Assuming Lane Taylor is kept, that puts the Packers at about 15 million in cap space left. You can probably assume that 10 of that goes to draft picks and the roll over. That leaves you with 5 more to spend on guys. That gets you one more Wagner/Kirksey caliber signing. That's enough to bring in one of the mid-tier DTs. Cut Taylor and there's nobody on this FA list that you wouldn't be able to get in on.

Have to believe restructuring Z would be a possibility as well that they are considering. Believe I read that by converting his $9mil roster bonus to a signing bonus, they'd gain some cap, around $6mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't know what we're going to be looking at in terms of which free agent targets are left and we're interested in. Lord knows we could use a CB, WR, and DT still, but they're going to have to be the right guys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z was already heavily backloaded, unless you are going all-in then he is going to have a monstrous cap hit later on if you do this. Maybe you say 20 and 21 is our window and then sacrifice 22 and stick everything there and tank that season, get 1st overall and draft your QB.

That would bump the cap hit numbers from 21 to 24 in the last two years. Barely makes a scratch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman5252 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 Sounds like 1 more bargain bin guy. Maybe a Lane Taylor Trade for another misfit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 OTC with their article on cap changes for new CBA Packers (and all teams) lost a little bit of space when projected cap dropped to $198.2M instead of $200M They also lost another $3 - 3.5 M in space as the bottom of the roster salaries increased by about 100k/player https://overthecap.com/new-cba-approved-cap-set-at-198-2-million/ The biggest change in my opinion is that minimum salaries will raise now by either $90,000 or $100,000 for 2020. This is a massive shift in salary which should mean that teams will now use up an extra $3 to $3.5 million in cap space and their budget for players already under contract. Packers are listed at $15.2M of space as of yesterday. If they need more $$, Lane Taylor will be called upon to serve his country in a time of need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norse65 Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 I believe this off season is when the Packers have to exercise whatever plan they have for Aaron Jones. He’s looking for an extension and if the team wants him beyond next season without franchising him it will never get cheaper than now when Jones has little leverage.

CWood21 Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 Bulaga's contract finally was leaked. It's essentially a 2 year, $19M deal. Solid deal for the Chargers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope they don't ChargIR him like they've done with most of their OL in recent times Campen will keep him vet-rested and maybe the warm weather will be good for those "old" bones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
