Rogers drop from top 5 or 10 cost him more like 20 million over course of contract and SB. We can survive a holdout better than Rogers can force capitulation. The 1st rounder is always the last to sign.
Of the 3.5 million in cap money 1.5 million or even more is needed for a signing bonus over 5 years for Rogers. The seconds take half a million. 5ths and below may take half a million total of this years cap(2.5 total). I do not see a cap problem unless Hunt is cut.
Are these 11 drafted guys better than 11 on the 53 person roster last year. No. We will keep more DB's and WR's than last year. I think the OL and DL will each have at least one less spot. Practice squad will be interesting as Leach, Mc Brien and Williams(RB) will be wanted there already.
Bedell, Morely, Curtain, Cole, True Luck, Franz and Chatman are on the bubble. Cutting cummulatively has a small effect on the cap.
A renegotiated Hunt deal would be in both parties interest as he could get cut and lose everything and the Packers could take a cap hit. That is a delicate negotiation that may get done prior to Rogers signing.
I have numbers from a couple of sites in disagreement but my guess if Hunt is cut will cost a million in cap this year and 1.5 million next year.
We may still make it but we cannot advance much on next years contracts this year.
We might need help from KGB or Clifton by guaranteeing some of the 06 money. Clifton's agent is a jerk so that may not happen. I do not see much dead cap on the horizon after Hunt except perhaps Al Harris or Carroll but 07 at the earliest. I think Clifton and KGB will not get cut before 08.
I don't know what Brett renegotiated but we were past the break even point on his contract before his revised deal and heaven forbid he gives up before he finishes his contract in 07. But if so we gain a lot of cap space.
Clifton has over 6.5 in signing bonus left going down at 1.3/year against the cap. KGB 5.5 in signing bonus to pro-rate over 5 years(1.1/year)
Maybe you don't care but I like to keep looking forward.
