[QUOTE="Carl, post: 550870, member: 9497"] Percentage wise, Rodgers will take up less cap space in future seasons than they do now. Rodgers: 13.2% this season 12.6 to 13.0% in 2015 (cap $140-145 million) 12% in 2016. Clay's will increase, but only slightly. Clay: 8.2% this season 8.8 - 9.1 in 2015 8.6 in 2016 In reality, with the increasing cap, their cap numbers are either decreasing or only slightly increasing. To compare if the contracts were not backloaded as you've suggested, Rodgers would have been 14.3 - 15.7% of last years cap and Clay would have been 8.9 - 11.2 of last years cap (using their 2014, 2015, and 2016 cap hits). Plus, both contracts only have a significant jump for one season (this offseason, could be a reason why TT left so much space for this offseason) and then increase slowly the rest of the way, which can be accounted for. It's easy to look at a stat or two and say that a defense was good or bad at certain time. The bottom line is the month before Rodgers injury, the team was very good. They beat up three not good teams and beat the Ravens on the road. Rodgers alone does not attribute to how well the team was playing. You could argue that winning against the bad teams doesn't mean much, but good teams dominate those games, which is what the Packers did. Also, are you trying to say we don't have as much money as we think or trying to say we will have cap issues? Seem to be switching. Other reports say a cap of $ 145 million Having $17 million to $25 million in space is not a problem, even with free agents to resign. Say they have $17 million and resign those three and use most of it, you've already accounted for everything they'd need in the $17 million. What else would they even need the money for? Besides, as I've shown above, back loading a contract can work in favor of a team and they could do the same for Nelson, Cobb, and Bulaga and not use all $17 million. Finally, it's also a fact that many of the guys who contribute to the $118 million will not make the team and be replaced with younger, cheaper guys. The money on the cap is for SIXTY EIGHT PLAYERS. More than a few of these of these guys won't make the team. With at least 9 more draft picks for a total of at least 77, even with IR and the practice squad, there are nowhere near enough room roster spots. Just bringing the team down to the required roster size will create more room. [/QUOTE]
