[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 877854"] It depends on how much. It also depends on whether this is a real idea coming from somebody in power or some kibitzer's imagination. It's hard to see how it would work if the amount is substantial, and if it is not substantial why bother? The only Packer players with meaningful cap savings if cut are Linsley ($8.5 mil), Bakhtiari ($11.5 mil) and Adams ($9.3 mil). After that it's Jones and Williams at $2.1 mil each. Just eyballing, I don't think the Packers could find $50 mil in cap savings if they cut every player with savings above the rookie minimum. This would hardly be unique. Where you find cap savings is with stars in the later years of a 2nd. or 3rd. contract. Backloading salary and cap savings into the out years of contracts isn't a Green Bay thing. It's everywhere. Sounds like a threat to get the NFLPA to take future cap cuts or some other concession. It would make more sense to tally up the lost revenue at the end of the season, players and owners each eat half of the losses, with the players half spread out over future caps over x years, x determined by how big the losses turn out to be. In any case, regardless of when the cap cuts fall, it would not be a good time to sign or extend somebody to a long term contract at current market values until there is more clarity. I'm not sure what they could do if regular season games are missed. How do you prorate salaries, if the NFLPA would even go along, when a chunk of one guy's "salary" is essentially in his big signing bonus "advance", paid out and not be clawed back, while another guy might have the same actual salary but without having ever gotten that big advance in the form of the bonus?
