[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 827672"] I'll take your word that 15 Packer players have per game bonuses. That means the other 38 players do not. 17 weeks of PUP or IR among those 38 would require a minimum of $500,000 in cap to replace or a minimum of $1 mil in cap savings if a guy has to be cut. The 15 players who do have per game bonuses are clustered at the top of the pay scale where a desired PUP/IR replacement is more likely to a more costly street vet or waiver pickup where the per game roster bonus savings may not be sufficient. The Packers may cut a vet with cap savings after the draft if a suitable replacement is found. It would seem Crosby is your leading candidate or perhaps Williams. But unless and until such replacements are secured the assumption must be that a PUP/IR reserve is currently maintained. Nobody, including Gutekunst, can say at this juncture whether any of those cut candidates can be replaced. My calculation of $5 mil in usable cap, with $2 mil in PUP/IR reserve, syncs with a recent Gutekunst statement that he has $5 mil working cap capital, a statement that created a tempest in a teapot from from media types who could not look past the $14 mil in available cap to the draft cost, filling out the roster and PS, and the PUP/IR reserve. There's also the matter of 2020 carryover and the tight cap situation for that year which I'll touch on in the Billy Turner thread. I see no reason not to go with that $5 mil number when accounting for that reserve until the draft is complete. [/QUOTE]
