[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 779306"] Did you inadvertantly omit the :roflmao:? I think that train has left the station if it was ever boarding in the first place. First, players can say "no". And really how much would there be to gain for 2019 without a "cap friendly" rewrite of the current year extending out to 3 years or more? The best you could do is take the current year cap hit and spread it over two years with signing bonuses that have to be paid for in cap in the years following. Those kinds of moves would have made sense if they could have been negotiated back in the FA period to use the cap savings to double down on "win now" with some additional free agent signings. It's a little late for that. At this juncture, under a two year plan, if you don't win in 2018 then you're doubling down with the same players in 2019, with no net cap savings, and less than auspicious prospects that they will be playing at or near the past glories that are needed. At this juncture, better to bet on a return to those past glories this season under these deals as a path to winning. If you do win, then the adverse 2019 consequences of them entering FA can be accepted. If you don't win and those players past glories are not achieved, the consequences of the extensions are worse than if you had stood pat. Their dead caps would make moving on from those players prohibitive just as if the Graham move turns out to be a bust you're stuck with him next season. The more likely source of a cap gain would be with Bulaga. There's the report he was asked to renegotiate and declined. There's a packers.com report that Spriggs spent the offseason in Green Bay bulking up to 32o lbs. The effort is in contrast to McCarthy taking a veiled shot at his work ethic in the early part of last season. This comes on the back of improved play toward the end of last season. Evidently the dislocated knee cap was not as serious as it sounded. While there are plenting of question marks surrounding his play and development, if this one player shows he's panning out in preseason (as opposed to assuming a whole bunch will in the rosiest scenarios), and Bulaga is not ready to play, the two remaining years on Bulaga's contract contain $11.5 million in cap savings that would accrue to 2019 assuming they don't run out and use it in 2018 for other players. That would improve the picture. [/QUOTE]
