[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 762387"] There are so many problems with renegotiations it's hard to count them all. Renegotiations make the most sense with an aging and declining star player who is willing to accept a secondary, reduced snap role. In that case you wipe out a big lump of cap and replace it with a one or two year swan song deal on the cheap for a veteran backup. Hawk's renegotiation has been cited. But that only picked up a couple million in cap savings. And how did that work out anyway? Crosby too after his historically bad season, but it was minor savings in the great scheme of things. You cannot expect guys like Nelson, Cobb and Matthews to take cuts meaningful enough to make a difference while expecting them to perform like some approximation of the star players they have been in the past unless you just push the problem out into 2019 and beyond with new multi-year contracts. The first question you have to ask yourself is are you looking for a bona fide Super Bowl contender in 2018 while acknowledging that the key players in the past are not what they once were, regardless of what you're paying them? This may not compute. Are you just clinging to the past? I think so. And if 2018 is as far as you're going to look, and you think these players are in something of a decline, then just pay them what's on the books, make Rodgers wait until next year, and then just back and fill with the little cap that is left. I would not recommend that. I see it as a two year plan, and that means cutting losses with declining players. [/QUOTE]
