[QUOTE="CaliforniaCheez, post: 129064, member: 167"] Signing your own guys does count!! The Kampmann signing was excellent burning the cap room when he had it but not using much in future years. Likewise the Scott Wells deal was good for both the player(lots of money now) and good for the team(little long term cost). Woodson's deal is is really two tiered. It is very expensive after the third year. I expect him to only be with the Packers through the 09 season and be cut before the 2010 season at the latest. Look for a top notch CB to be drafted BTW. So this off season is one in which the Packers are in very good cap shape. 1. Cullen Jenkins is a priority but as a restricted free agent the Packers have the right to match any offer. As the Packers are financially able to give him a Kampmann/Wells type deal, they can match or all but a ridiculous offer. This is not too worrisome and Jenkins will not instantly become lazy or unproductive. 5-7 million in 07 but little in later years. 2. Ahman Green will be looking at likely a similar deal as 2006. Incentive heavy. 06 incentives come out of the 07 money as they were in the "not likely to be earned" definition used by NFL(not made the previous year) the 07 incentive are "likely to be earned" and so they will come out of the 2007 cap. That makes the cap hit in 07 a bit more expensive than fans expect, 5-6 million. 3. Unrestricted free agents Donald Lee, Kendrick Allen(?), Ben Taylor(?), Rob Davis should average at the most 1 million each on the high side. 4. Exclusive rights free agents Cole, Holliday, and Herron should cost around 500K each. They can't sign elsewhere unless cut. No problem. One of them is likely to get cut. 5. Signing the draft picks will cost about 4-5 million. After all that, the Packers will still have 7 million or more to work with for other free agents. More if Jenkins has more of a traditional contract. Few big name high priced veterans are out there. So there should be money for a Barnett extension during the season. If Brett's cap 11 million number is not spent, cap money will have to be extended into the 08 cap with accounting gimmicks and tricks. These are the good days of the salary cap. 2009 and 2010 will far worse. [/QUOTE]
