[QUOTE="Krabs, post: 936169, member: 15739"] Let's kick the tires on this thread a bit. The cap is complicated and I don't know the whole scope of it. That's why I just talk about in on a football forum. With that said, feel free to dump all over me for mistakes made. For 2022 the Packers are $38.7 million over a predicted $208.2 million salary cap. How do we get to where we need to be and keep our guys that are in the peak of their careers? Z. Smith has an inflated contract and we now know we can play without him. Yes, if he is still the Z of old, he makes us better. However, the reality is the cap. If he is cut then that saves us $15.7 million. We take a huge hit of dead money at $12.4 million. Not sure the move there. Might be prime for a restructure, but he was mad about his contract in the offseason. Seems more of a cut to me. Simply by the money, P. Smith looks prime for a cut as well. He would save us $12.5 million, but also is a huge hit on dead money. He also is very reliable and has played well. Hopefully, he would be up for a restructure. Amos I think we extend, which would free more money up in the short term. Also would depend on what the long term of the contract would look like. Cobb will have to take a huge pay cut or be cut himself. He's shown he still can play, but is simply not worth $7.9 million next season. I think he is a restructure. Crosby, statistically the worst kicker in the league. He has to restructure or he is gone. We can save $2.4 million by cutting him. Turner is another prime candidate for a restructure. A cut would save us $3.2 million, but I think he could be had for less through negotiations. Lowry had played better this year. He already restructured this offseason, but we could still save almost $4 million by cutting him. All those moves equate to a lot of dead money, but would also allow for some re-signings like Adams and Alexander. Alexander could wait, but extending him now would also create more space. I'm not touching Rodgers contract. I think he stays next year. [/QUOTE]
