[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 550866"] I would agree if this quote would be about player evaluation, but understanding the salary cap isn´t that hard and it´s possible for fans to analyse a team´s current and future cap situation. Well, so let me ask you a question. It´s a fact the Packers have $118 million in cap space already invested in the 2015 squad (without the Flynn deal as no details are currently known). According to some reports the cap is expected to go up to $140 million for next season. With the Packers being able to roll over approximately $5 million from this season they could start next offseason somewhere close to $27 million in cap space. That sounds like a lot of money, but $10 million of it will go towards draft picks, practice squad guys and inury replacements, leaving the Packers with $17 million to work with. This means that re-signing Nelson, Cobb and Bulaga will eat up nearly all of the available cap space and the team would have to release some players (which normally doesn´t improve the team) if they want to go in a different direction during next offseason. So, don´t you think this sounds like the cap situation could be more tense next season than it has been in years??? [/QUOTE]
