[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 933272, member: 6578"] Possible or Obvious Cost Savings IMO: [B]Za'Darius Smith[/B] - Cut He made it clear in off season he was ready and willing to make his career end in Green Bay with an extension. Issue is that cost. He has since now seen injury which may very well change his entire future in the NFL - no one knows what kind of player he will be when back. Cutting him would be a massive cost savings - around $15.75M saved despite the high dead cap figure still. He is entering his 30s, back injury and MASSIVE cost make him IMO 100% gone next year as much as that sucks. [I]The only way I see him here is a massive restructure making him have a cheap "prove it" type year in 2022 contract wise with escalating 2023 and a team friendly out for sure before 2024.[/I] [B] Jaire Alexander[/B] - Extension Jaire is another world talent. His position and skillset is 100% a must resign. If we let him play out his contract his hit would be $13.3M essentially - surely Ball could lesson that blow a little bit if we came to a 4 or 5 year deal keeping Jaire in Green Bay in the prime of his career. This would be a savings for 2022...but most likely become VERY costly similar to Bahk contract by the last couple years - however this is a must IMO if we want to not see 2022 be a rebuild but hopefully a reload. [B]Preston Smith[/B] - Extension (one year) Preston has been having a resurgence of a year. If Rivers is feared to regress, and Zadarius is leaving...Green Bay may not want to try and find a replacement, but hold onto Preston another year for sure. His 2022 hit is presently set to climb to $19.75M - that just isn't going to happen and cutting him saves $12.5M....we could add an additional year to his contract, shift some of that into that additional year and save maybe $5M-$7M. [I] [/I] [B]Rashan Gary[/B] - Extension Less likely given his hit is only $5M essentially, but IF Green Bay sees Gary playing out the next 3-5 years and worth the risk of an injury costing them - contract structure could shave some here with an extension/new contract. I don't see this happening personally BUT is an option. [B]Aaron Rodgers[/B] - Restrcuture/Trade/Extension One or multiple of those three are going to happen, something is going to change to change his $46+Million cap hit in 2022 to a smaller figure. None of know what or how this occurs. [B]Randall Cobb[/B] - Cut or Extension I don't see Cobb here unless Aaron is. If cut it saves us $6.85M. A sizeable chunk, but things to remember - he and Amari are the only two WRs that have seen playing time contracted into 2022. [B]David Bahktiari[/B] - Cut/Trade One thing many haven't talked about is possibly moving on from Bahk in order to make cap woes lesson. His cap hits for the next three years starting in 2022 are $22.76M, $26.26M and $30.27M.
