[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 869331"] With all the discussion of extending contracts, backloading contracts, cutting players for cap space to sign more players or extending players, it's worth looking at the 2021 situation where the deferred cap in any backloaded extensions or additional signings will start to land. This is a snapshot at this moment excluding Funchess since his contract details have not yet been leaked. overthecap: $162.8 mil cap commitmnts for 30 players under contract [URL]https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/green-bay-packers/[/URL] spotrac: $163.4 mil cap commitments for 31 players under contract The trivial difference is the result of spotrac including that one additional player, Olive Sagapolu at a $675,000 cap cost. Otherwise, the aggreate numbers are all but identical. The current Packers.com roster doesn't show Sagapolu, so I'll assume he's no longer around which takes us to overthecap's $ and players. So, what would the depth chart look like with these 30 players at the $162.8 mil cap cost? Players in their 2021 contract year will have a [CR] disignation. By this time next year, extension discussions regarding some of these players may be a hot topic. That depth charts looks something like this: QB: Rodgers RB: Dexter Williams FB: LT: LG: Jenkins, Madison C: Patrick [CR], Madison RG: Turner, Madison RT: Wagner [CR] TE: Sternberger WR: Adams [CR], Valdes-Scantling [CR], St. Brown, Begelton DL: Lowry, Keke, Roberts OLB: Z. Smith, P. Smith, Gary ILB: Kirksey [CR], Burks [CR], Summers, Bolton CB: Alexander [CR], Holman, Jackson [CR] S: Savage, Amos PK: Crosby P: Scott [CR] LS: Bradley Of course there will be two drafts in the interim. For illustration purposes and the sake of argument, that's 17 players give or take, at an additional cost of around $15 mil in their first seasons, a little more for second year contracts of 2020 draftees, and a little more for cap increases, bringing the total players to 47 at a cap cost of a something more than $178 mil. Given the gaping holes and many unkowns, any more backloaded signings or extensions need to be quite selective. You cannot squeeze Clark, Bakhtiari and Jones current contract extensions into this equation given what their 2nd. year cap hits would look like. Pick one. I've said in the past that this year is a window of opportunity. If you wound back the clock 12 months and went through this same excersize for this season, the holes and question marks were less numerous at a similar cost. Regardless, going forward, it's more about stacking drafts than extending every possible candidate. Getting 6 players out of the next two drafts is the priority in keeping the ball rolling.
