[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 711330, member: 7261"] LOL First you say "sign Gilmore with Shields money", which could in effect be around $18M (Gilmore's salary + Shields dead cap). So easier just to say "use the $9M in savings from Shields towards FA's." Second, you do realize that some of the salaries of current players, rookies and resigns go up as well? Where does that money come from? Yes, the Packers have some cap space, but if they throw $15M at Gilmore and $8-$9M at Campbell, how much Cap do they have left for Lang, Hyde, Perry, Lacy and others? You are correct though, there probably wouldn't be an instant "money problem" signing both guys, but that may very well be a poor future decision based on who you give up to do it as well as no guarantees you get that value out of either player. Also, I doubt either player is looking for a one year deal, so now you are looking at a multi-year deal if it fails. [/QUOTE]
