The salary cap at that time was $85-$86M. When that contract was signed, both the Packers FO and Wahle and his agent knew that contract wouldn't be in force in 2005. Also, the Packers were over the cap when Thompson took over in 2005 and the roster was in need of several upgrades.Sitton is a great OG and Lang is a very good OG but both have injury concerns. Sitton's back has been discussed (but he only missed 8 snaps in 18 games according to McGinn) and Lang is due to have shoulder surgery this off season - again according to McGinn. Extending either is a concern because of age and injury but cutting them now makes no sense IMO. Unlike 2005, the Packers should have somewhere between $20-$22M in cap space if they keep Sitton, Lang, and Peppers for that matter. <a href="http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-individual-report-card-offense-b99656526z1-366333791.html" target="_blank">http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/packers-individual-report-card-offense-b99656526z1-366333791.html</a></blockquote>
