incognito_man Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Just wanted to get an idea of how our free agents look going forward. Here's the breakdown: 2018 Top Priority to re-sign this offseason: Davante Adams Next highest: Burnett, House, Linsley Outlook: This free agent class is very manageable. I don't see us incapable of signing a guy we would like to based on money constraints. PLAYER (12) POS. AGE 2017 AAV STATUS Morgan Burnett SS 28 $6,187,500 UFA Ahmad Brooks OLB 33 $3,500,000 UFA Davon House CB 28 $2,800,000 UFA Jahri Evans G 34 $2,250,000 UFA Don Barclay RT 28 $1,025,000 UFA Davante Adams WR 24 $983,351 UFA Ricky Jean Francois DT 30 $900,000 UFA Quinton Dial DT 27 $775,001 UFA Richard Rodgers TE 25 $690,254 UFA Corey Linsley C 26 $601,250 UFA Demetri Goodson CB 28 $580,788 UFA Jeff Janis WR 26 $567,848 UFA 2019 Top Priority to re-sign this offseason: HHCD Next highest: Nelson, Monty, Ryan Outlook: This is a fairly weak FA class with no 'must re-signs' I can see. HHCD is the closest if he gets it together. I suspect AR will get an extension this offseason both because there should be extra money and because the following year's FA class is really good, we may need to lock up guys a year early the following year because the 2021 class is insanely good. PLAYER (10) POS. AGE 2018 AAV STATUS Clay Matthews OLB 32 $13,200,000 UFA Randall Cobb WR 28 $10,000,000 UFA Jordy Nelson WR 33 $9,762,500 UFA HaHa Clinton-Dix FS 25 $2,084,625 UFA Lance Kendricks TE 30 $2,000,000 UFA Quinten Rollins CB 26 $935,642 UFA Ty Montgomery RB 25 $737,199 UFA Jake Ryan ILB 26 $684,170 UFA Brett Hundley QB 25 $625,908 UFA Aaron Ripkowski FB 25 $596,599 UFA 2020 Top Priority to re-sign this offseason: Aaron Rodgers Next highest: Daniels, Martinez, Bulaga, Crosby Outlook: Very top heavy obviously with Rodgers, but he will be taken care of. Daniels and Bulaga will be 30 but should age well enough to be worth another contract. Martinez, I bet, will actually be the 2nd most important re-sign. Randall, Lowry and Davis could all show something as well and be important guys to bring back, but there will almost be someone from the 2021 class that gets an extension a year early. PLAYER (12) POS. AGE 2019 AAV Aaron Rodgers QB 35 $22,000,000 Mike Daniels DT 30 $10,250,000 Martellus Bennett TE 32 $7,000,000 Bryan Bulaga RT 30 $6,750,000 Mason Crosby K 35 $4,025,000 Damarious Randall CB 27 - Jason Spriggs T 25 $1,251,073 Kyler Fackrell OLB 27 $783,582 Dean Lowry DE 25 $680,848 Blake Martinez ILB 25 $680,848 Trevor Davis WR 24 $641,794 Kyle Murphy T 23 $616,535 2021 Top Priority to re-sign this offseason: Kenny Clark Next highest: Bakhtiari, King, Jones, Jones, Taylor Outlook: An absolutely STACKED class. Will almost certainly need to extend one or two of these guys a year early to retain everyone we are likely going to want to retain. The downside of trading down for King is he will be a FA the same year as Clark. If you get 2 studs like that in back-to-back years it can wreak havoc 4 years later. This may end up being the best FA class of Rodgers' tenure in GB. You could have a stud LT, DT, LG, CB, S and RB if those players either maintain or keep progressing as they have been. PLAYER (10) POS. AGE 2020 AAV STATUS David Bakhtiari LT 29 $12,000,000 UFA Lane Taylor G 30 $5,500,000 UFA Kenny Clark DE 25 - UFA Kevin King CB 25 $1,770,221 UFA Josh Jones S 26 $1,058,353 UFA Montravius Adams DT 25 $819,194 UFA Vince Biegel OLB 27 $773,436 UFA Jamaal Williams RB 25 $741,498 UFA Aaron Jones RB 25 $650,484 UFA Devante Mays RB 25 $618,759 UFA 2022 PLAYER (1) POS. AGE 2021 AAV STATUS Nick Perry OLB 27 $11,800,000 UFA Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire12 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Haha gets a 5th year option before an extension would be my guess. Not sure what the price for that is on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PackyAttacky Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Isn't money tight for next year? Cant imagine all of those guys coming back. I think Linsley is let go, Burnett is playing awesome I hope they bring him back even though that is no their tendency. Gotta pay Adams, also not sure how you dont pay House.

Spotrac has GB with $148M in committed contracts leaving $19M from where the cap is now at $167. WIth the rollover of $10M from the 2017 season that puts it at about $29M. If the cap goes up to around $180M (what I read was a projection a while back), that gives them around $42M Projected cap for 2018= $180M GB 2017 rolloever = $10M 2018 GB effective team cap = ~$190M GB 2018 salary committed = $148M 2018 cap space ~$42M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollino14 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 For 2018 Adams, Linsley and Burnett are musts, House would be nice as well (pending how he does the rest of the year.) 2019... Nelson, Clay and Cobb... That's a lot of money potentially off the books. I think Jordy comes back on a discount, but I bet we could sign a guy or two better than Cobb and Clay with the money they're making. ( I know Clay is playing good ball now, but I don't think he'll age well) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not advocating breaking the bank for him, but he's got to be a bit of a priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess a 3 year extension through 2022 (age 38) worth about 80million guaranteed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 3 hours ago, deltarich87 said: Keep in mind the big elephant in the room is the upcoming monster extension for Rodgers So, here's how I view that...maybe I'm wrong... His cap number is 20.9M this year. Next year it is 21.1M. No guaranteed money left. If he were to sign a monster extension, likely that includes a monsterous signing bonus, which can and will be spread out over multiple years. Might that reduce his cap number from 21.1M? I can see scenarios in which is does, for a year or two, then escalates as the cap escalates. Point being, I don't think that contract is going to hurt anything. Along the way, the club has to figure out what to do with guys like Matthews and Cobb. I like both, but really wish both would be on the club for a whole lot less.
