[QUOTE="net, post: 542242, member: 200"] Almost always forgotten in all the "lets fix this" conversation is the salary cap. By the 2015 season, Rodgers and Matthews will account for nearly $30 million of the cap unless something else is negotiated. Two players. That hogties the team in terms of acquiring talent. THAT is why the team has virtually no depth and why many of the current players...Finley, Raji, Kuhn, are likely to be el gone-oh. If they drop a nice contract on Shields, that will put the cap closer to $40 mill for three players by 2015. Toss in Morgan Burnett's contract, and resigning Nelson and Cobb after 2014. So when you complain about TT not buying every free agent under the sun...consider all that. The Packers are heading for cap hell, and the "draft and develop" is about to hit the wall. TT complained about Mike Sherman(before he fired him) that the team was at the salary cap and had no core talent. Well, fast forward to 2014 and you have a team approaching salary cap hell with it's own players and not good enough to win against the elite teams. The core talent can't be afforded and will be gone. Right now, I see 6-10 next season. I predicted 8-8 for this past season and missed it by half a game. [/QUOTE]
