The only way the Packers can resign top players, as well as top free agents, would be to sign them to a back-loaded contract.  Which they have been doing for several years now.  Pretty soon you have so much back loaded money, players have to be cut or their deals reworked to once again stay under the cap. Much like people who play the credit card game, paying off one with another, eventually, you are screwed. While it would have been nice to furnish Rodgers with more receiving weapons last season, all he got was a discounted Sammy Watkins and some rookies.  Watkins stunk and 2 rookies had up and down seasons.  Can they improve that with a high end Vet FA this season or roll with the same and hope for the best?  Do they have the money to sign those improvements, while resigning their core free agents?Rodgers talked about having to jump off the carousel at some point, I think the also applies to the Packers as well when it comes to Rodgers.  You can't keep going all in each season and when you don't win that SB, it stings even more.</blockquote>
