Uncle Buck Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 3 hours ago, DefenseWinsChampionships said: Those weren't my words those words of "myth, fake, doesn't exist" were words from multiple others. I know what salary cap hell is about. I'm a Jets fan. And teams who head into Free Agency in cap hell will ALWAYS lose key impactful talented players by force (not by choice). And I knew why Green Bay lost their edge rusher Za'Darius Smith before asking the question; I just wanted to double check and make sure others also knew too. The NFL Salary Cap is real (and teams lose awesome players because of it every single offseason). The salary cap doesn't exist - until your QB and #1 WR are taking up 40% of the cap all by themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your head may explode after the last 2 days. Is starts with Sal _ _ _ and ends with _ ap. That’s not how you spell Aaron Rodgers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also noticed that his WR1 really wants that 10 million right now. Salary Cap still covers that, right?

We have to stop with this. He's played 3 games since the start of the 2019 season and they were all in 2019. He's essentially missed the last 46 games of his career, and he was average on a good ay before that. He figures into nothing.

He didn't look like he had a "busted back" during his 1 playoff game (after missing the entire offseason) while recording 1 postseason sack and I think after a full offseason of rest he'll be ready to go come 2022. Two Pro Bowls die to 26 sacks and 90 QB Pressures throughout 2019-2020 combined? Ravens got themselves a 6'4/272 lbs pass rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played in 18 snaps in the Saints game before missing the rest of the regular season, and he had 19 snaps against the 49ers. A $26M (or whatever it was) cap hit for 37 snaps is awful use of resources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanedorf Posted March 17, 2022 Share Posted March 17, 2022 17 minutes ago, CWood21 said: A busted back. That's certainly a part of it. But the reality is that they drafted Z's replacement in Rashan Gary and Gary has played really well so far. If Gary had busted ( as predicted by many numbnuts on this site) then the Packers would have shown more interest in having Z stick around. Many think this is a pure cap cut - its not. It was part of the plan the day the Packers signed Z to that structured FA deal and it solidified the day they drafted his replacement. Cap always plays a role, but smart teams plan ahead- and by having Z on the team, it accelerated the maturation of Gary. It doesn't always work out, but in this case it did - and Z moved on. The NFL is a game of replacement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the situation was reversed and Preston Smith missed the entire year with a broken back and Z was healthy and productive, do you think the Packers would have extended Z and released Preston? Or would they have done what they did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
