[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 878959"] Yes, my point was the Packers might move on after 2020 but you don't get any cap bounty to work with. After 2021 Rodgers dead cap is $17.2 mil. Rodgers cap cost for this season is $21.6 mil. For some perspective, relative to this season there's hardly any excess cap in 2021 in moving on from Rodgers and last time I checked this offseason didn't yield any impact free agents. The key benefit in dropping Rodgers would any decent draft pick he might yield. In 2022, $22.6 mil in Rodgers cap savings, not $40 mil, so turning the page then looks more plausible but I would not expect to have an abundance of cap. There's quite a few high value free agents coming up after 2020 and 2021, and the 2019 free agents and draft class will be in contract years. If Aaron Jones is a "pay the man", there are potentially a dozen others between now and then sucking cap or needing to be replaced. Last year's free agents will hit their high water marks in cap and cap savings in 2022. Any decline in performance and there's a good chance they'll be out the door before 2022 a la Graham. That would yield some quite decent saving along with Rodgers but then you're looking at quite a few new holes. There are too many variables for any clarity 3 seasons hence. Even if the page is turned in 2022 there is no basis for thinking there will be rebuilding cap relative to the roster quality today. [/QUOTE]
