The Packers currently have $8.5-9 million of cap space which will be reduced by another $2 million before the season for players #52 and #53 on the active roster as well as the practice squad. Teams normally need an additional $3-5 million cap space during the season for replacements for players being put on injured reserve.That means the Packers didn't have a lot more cap space to spend this offseason than they did. It's possible to argue the money could have been used on different players though with Trevathan having been the free agent I would have liked the Packers to be primarily interested in.With Green Bay only being able to roll over a small amount of cap space from this season into 2017 and several core players headed for free agency the team will have limited cap space available next offseason.</blockquote>
