[QUOTE="CaliforniaCheez, post: 35426, member: 167"] Some of you know about this site: [url=http://www.members.cox.net/cappage/2006cap.htm]Unofficial Packers 2006 Cap[/url] 2006 will be Favres highest paid year but after 06 almost all of his reworked contract signing bonus will be paid off. Brett is the only guy I can think of who signed a mega deal, "highest ever" in the league, record breaker that may finish it WITHOUT being cut by the team. Bledsoe got cut. Moss when he signed his I said he would not finish his contract with Minnesota etc. Brett helped the team a couple of times. I remember in 02 or 03 in the off season Andrew Brandt in an interview said we have to pay him and get the money out of the way to avoid a Troy Aikman cap killer finish of a career. The team achieved that in 04. If you look at the franchise tag of Drew Brees, the Manning, Culpepper, Vick, and Alex Smith deals you have to pay a good QB the kind of money Brett is getting. David Carr and Kerry Collins are due 8 million roster bonuses in March. Collins will get cut as the Raiders will be 30 million over the cap in 2006. Kurt Warner counts over 12.5 million against the caps of Rams, Giants and Cardinals. Brett has been an important part of getting the extra revenue from many playoff home games at lambeau which certainly brings extra revenue to the Packers and the city. He is worth it. Diggs is the most likely cap casualty this next offseason. Ferguson costs nothing to trade. I think down the road in 2008 KGB might be a cap casualty or if age and injuries catch up to Clifton. Ted Thompson has got most of the team salaries under control. Joe Johnson and Jamal Reynolds count this year, Sharper was not worth the 7 million he was due and makes 3 million with the Vikings, Hunt will be off the books in 07 as will the overpaid Nick Luchey. The packers would not have matched Rivera due to age and injuries, and Wahle's contract should have been reworked last year. Ted Thompson was really painted into a corner on Wahle with only 2 months and no cap room to work a deal. The next 3 years the cap will be in good shape. 2009 and 2010 could be tight when some of these young guys are due for deals. Without Brett the competitiveness of the Packers would have suffered. They had no games this year where they were blown out like the Vikings, 49'ers, Saints, Jets, Texans and other bottom dwellers or even the Packers of 2004. Playing the NFC west in 06 I am optimistic that a much improved team will be much higher in the standings and a good playoff or Superbowl run in 07. Brett Favre is a key component of those teams. Brett's skill and toughness is enough for him to play 3 more years. [/QUOTE]
