Remember when I recommended a two-year plan of boom year, lean year.
Year 1 - spend generously on veteran FAs.
Year 2 - no comp picks (due to vets acquired last year). Get rid of guys who you think get big contracts elsewhere (Martinez/Bulaga/Graham etc). Be stingy on vets acquired.
year 3 - reap the comp picks generated in year 2. This is the year to get expensive FA's.
future years - alternate as per year 2 and 3.

What the Packers are doing looks very like this, with year 1 being 2019, year 2, 2020.

This is the plan I wanted to partake in this year, too.  We also HAVE to get in on a couple of those trades of 4th-6th round picks that happen every year.  4th-7th round rookies aren’t getting us over the top this year, but 4th-7th round veteran acquisitions might.

Lol Buccaneers aren’t winning a buy.  Probably not even the division.  Bruce Arians is not Bill Belichick.  Brady is not 40.  That defense is not good.

none of that matters smarty pants

The plan works well with the right mix of cap space and no internal FA to sign.  

Year 1 both those things were in play

Year 2, GB had internal players that were borderline to sign, less cap space

Year 3, GB might have Clark, King, Bahktiari among others to sign and an unknown amount of cap space
