[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 946750, member: 12283"] So according to overthecap, the Packers are effectively 50M over the cap in 2022. So if they kept Rodgers, how would they deal with that? Here are some possibilities: -First and most obviously is to deal with Rodgers' number (46.4M); an extension could get that down to, maybe 30M? Less? Conservatively, maybe they pick up 20M that way in space, getting him under contract through, say, 2024. -Next up is Za'Darius Smith. He's about to enter his age 30 season and a contract year; I doubt anyone would trade for his contract given that he missed the entire year so I think you either have to extend him (very risky with his age and back problems), or cut him (the more likely option). Even with the 12.4M in dead money, it would create 15.3M in space-- I believe a post 6/1 designation would create about 21M. -Preston Smith is also entering his age 30 season and a contract year, but he's not the risky asset that Z is. If you're trying to bring Rodgers back and run this thing back, you can't also get rid of all your impact players. So I think you would go with an extension here and get the 2022 number down, say from 21M down to 15 or so? -Kenny Clark would be a candidate for a restructure-- push some cap hit into the latter part of the contract and pick up another 5-10M depending on how extreme you want to go. Then there are a number of guys who you could cut or restructure or just leave alone. They'd be obvious cut/trade candidates if you were starting over, but you don't want to gut the roster if you're keeping Rodgers: -Adrian Amos: +7.9M to release; -11.9M to keep -Randall Cobb: +~7M to release; -9.5M to keep -Billy Turner: +4M to release; -8.9M to keep -Dean Lowry: +4M to release; -7.9M to keep -Mason Crosby: +2.4M to release; -4.7M to keep And then there are the guys that you want to (or may want to) extend or re-sign: -Davante Adams -Jaire Alexander (2023) -Elgton Jenkins (2023) -De'Vondre Campbell -Rasul Douglas -Corey Bojorquez -Robert Tonyan -Marquez Valdes-Scantling If it's me, I'm doing numbers 1-4 above (Rodgers, the Smith's, and Clark) because I don't see how you don't. Those four steps could get them, roughly, 5M[I] below [/I]the cap ceiling. Beyond that, I would be in favor of extending Amos (maybe +5M?), releasing Cobb (+7M), and releasing Crosby (+2.4). This is obviously very rough math-- I'm just trying to get an idea-- but I think the totality of those moves would place them somewhere in the neighborhood of 20M [I]under [/I]the cap. That's what you'd have to work with to then sign a rookie class, fill out the roster with free agents (veteran or rookie), and get some extensions done. I would be doing whatever I needed to in terms of back-loading to get Adams, Campbell, and Douglas back. Bojo and Tonyan would be nice too, but not deal breakers for me. [/QUOTE]
