[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1065803, member: 10086"] As we all know, the success of a QB is only as good as his OL. On one hand, I agree with not extending Walker. With more consideration of recent events? I’m thinking more not extending Jenkins could be a very workable avenue. Jenkins would free up around ~$14Mil cap (estimates I’ve heard and seen vary by a Mil or so, which is why I’m not confident in that exactly). As someone in here correctly pointed out (PikeBadger?), The Packers FO does a nice job of keeping the Guarantee around 1/3 of the Big picture Contract number. Having $14mil tossed in the $Capital$ pot actually makes it very doable to offer Walker a 3yr extension and guaranteeing his first year plus a few Mil$ For hypothetical purposes that Jenkins Cap savings likely cover in a neighborhood of 2/3 of any Guaranteed $ Walker would get in a new deal. I see the argument about not tying up too much $ in 1 position group. However if there is a positional exception or going heavier in 1 area? IMO It’s QB and LT/OL. Keep in mind that once Walker finishes out his 2025, 2026 seasons? he’s really got a contract out there because we can apply the +$14M Jenkins $$ already accounted on our schedule + a couple $5Mil more in 2026, we’ve got the Cap position to easily do this without much risk. That’s $19mil of Jenkins 2026 Cap covered there, yet it only feels like a $5-7mil Cap spent in 2026 (Ive also accounted for Roster replacement Rookie $$ etc) The point is not that it SHOULD be done. However it 100% COULD be done. The advantage here is you’ve got Walker locked down through ‘26 in that option. [/QUOTE]
