[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 885004"] Most big contracts have the guaranteed money loaded into the early years of the contract, primarily in the signing bonus, sometimes in salary. Your most likely candidates to be cut to gain cap savings are typically second contract guys going into year 3 or 4 where the salary amounts tend to be high and half or more of the cap overhang from the signing bonus has been burned off. Also, you have starters and stars coming off their rookie deals, entering what would ordinarily be their second contract payday or the big one year cap hit of a franchise tag. You can hand those guys even bigger signing bonuses and smaller salaries to keep the 2021 cap hit down, but that has it's own price in up front cash adding to possibly more red ink, and a bigger cap overhang in the out years of the contract which adds to player performance/injury risk. So, ballpark, assuming a $176 mil cap, look at the Packers 2021 cap savings column in the following table and pick out $20 mil for cuts keeping in mind no FAs of any kind would be signed. Or cut more than $20 mil if you want to sign a FA: [URL]https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/green-bay-packers/[/URL] Of course you could deliver some ultimatums. Take a pay cut or you get thrown into the free agent morass where there's not much money to go around. Or you could just cut everybody who's savings exceeds the anticipated value of an alternative in a free agent buyers market for all times. The possibilities are simply too numerous, too many variables unkown, to venture a guess. [/QUOTE]
