They currently have $14m for next year and could easily clear another $55m. Their cap situation is fantastic. San Francisco 49ers 2023 Salary Cap Table | Spotrac I used that. Their top 5 or so contracts carry a lot of dead cap, so I assumed those players would be roster locks. How did you clear up $55M? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got options to take the whole $59m before activating the option, plugging all their holes in FA and being downright terrifying.

Plus you could make a case that they are the best roster of the ones I listed in the original post. Certainly an appealing destination. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if they will have interest. But it is certainly a spot to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
15412 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I love the idea that the team would actually finally have the brains and balls to move Lord Rodg. Pipe dream, we're stuck with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibrett15 Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Cap shouldn't be an issue with his destination. Packers will eat the majority of the dead cap in year 1. Year 2+ the receiving team needs to prepare for the big cap hits though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgwingman Posted January 13, 2023 Author Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) OK I'm bumping this thread after a few weeks where the season has concluded and things are a little more set. QB Needy teams by draft order: Houston Indy Vegas Atlanta Carolina Tennessee NYJ New England? Washington Tampa (assuming Brady retires) San Fran After eliminating teams who are rebuilding, you end up with 2023 potential playoff teams with some commentary: Vegas - Internet rumors have linked McDaniels and Rodgers, along with the Davante reunion. Getting rid of Carr opens up enough cap space for his contract Tennessee - Doubtful, they are in even worse cap shape than the Packers. NYJ - Would he play for a bad franchise? Would he want a career that mirrors Favre's so directly? New England? - My new dark horse candidate for a Rodgers trade. Rodgers gambles on himself one last time with the best coach to ever do it. Belechik gets 1-2 more years to prove his success wasn't all tied to Brady. Washington - See Jets, would he play for a bad franchise? Tampa - Capped out from the Brady Super Bowl runs. San Fran - Previously discussed, but they could free up the cap space to give Trey Lance another year to learn, while they still have a Super Bowl roster. Also a bonus that you don't have to play Lamar, Mahommes, Herbert, Burrow, and Allen in the playoffs. The downside is that they don't have a first or second round pick this year, so what would you trade for?

Yeah they lack a first and a second rounder this year. I suppose you could make a case for acquiring future picks, or maybe they could trade a player on a rookie deal. Either way, if the Packers are open to trading Rodgers, his value could be limited given the drop off in play last year and Rodgers retirement discussions.

Kepler Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 They should offer Rodgers a marketing deal if he retires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
15412 Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Murph and Gute aren’t going to admit to their great mistake. They’re going to double down on it. If they would entertain the idea of trading him he would have to approve of the destination. That eliminates a number of teams. I think the Raiders and 49’ers the most likely potential destinations. More may open up, but I see those two as most likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
