[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 550871"] Nice job to withhold information that you don´t want to share. While the numbers you posted are correct, it´s also worth mentioning that Rodgers only account for 9.8% and Matthews for only 5.5% of the cap last season. The huge increase in their cap hits this season oddly will go hand in hand with the Packers not being able to roll over a huge amount of cap space into next season. While the percentage would have higher last year if the contracts would not have been backloaded those numbers would have decreased over the rest of their contracts, which IMO would have made a lot of sense as nobody expects one of them to be released. I think the Packers are headed towards some issues with the cap although a lot of people don´t believe that as they think the team has way more cap space available. There are some other guys becoming free agents after next season as well and maybe the Packers want to bring back some of them, could be hard though without any cap space. Backloading another three huge contracts next offseason would lead to serious cap issue by 2016. The current cap number is for the top 51 contracts, not for all players currently on the roster, so this number will be even higher by the start of the regular season. [/QUOTE]
