[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 864808, member: 12283"] In the midst of the talk of allocating cap space, I thought this might be useful. According to [URL='https://www.espn.com/blog/green-bay-packers/post/_/id/48660/what-packers-could-gain-hint-salary-cap-space-before-free-agency']espn stats & info[/URL], the Packers have 28.9M in space to begin the offseason. Cutting Graham and Taylor, two no brainers, would bring the total to about 41.4. Cutting Linsley, more of a debatable option, would bring the total to 49.9M. Let's say they go for all of the above and end up with basically 50M to play with. The draft class should account for roughly 7.5M of that. So that means 42.5M. There are six ERFA's that should be tendered simply because an ERFA salary is so cheap: Tonyan, Kumerow, Sullivan, Redmond, Lazard, and Lancaster. The average of their salaries is likely in the neighborhood of 750K, which means that their total cap implication would be roughly 4.5M. That would bring the available cap down to 38M. Let's also assume that they want to enter the season with at least 2M in space available. That's now 36M. If they choose to extend Bulaga, then 12M is probably an optimistic estimate. If that were to be his 2020 cap cost, you'd have 24M left to play with in the open market, including any other GB free agents you might want to resign (e.g. Crosby, Goodson, Lewis). Obviously passing on Bulaga would mean a lot more flexibility, but it would also mean a huge hole at a premium position. That amount's not nothing, but it isn't a ton. They are going to have to be judicious. Another factor is that Clark needs an extension. Whether that extension changes his 2020 cap number, and by how much, would depend on the structure. It could be worse. The Vikings are in the negative and are going to have to purge starters, while letting others walk, just to get into the black for the offseason. The Bears are 28th in space and the only ways they have to generate more involve cuting defensive starters (e.g. Hicks, Floyd, Amukamara) or the only part of their offense that's actually been working (Robinson). The Lions certainly have more to work with than GB does, but they also suck and are cursed so... lipstick on the proverbial pig. [/QUOTE]
