I analyze Green Bay Packers salary cap & roster. Help explain the dollars & sense of the team.
Also other nerdy, random, or interesting stuff in my brain.
- The Packers traded Aaron Rodgers, let 8 starters walk in free agency, had no money to sign any significant free agents, had 12 draft picks make the roster (11 the prior year), started over on special teams, lost their All-Pro LT week 1... ...and got better in 2023! #GoPackGo
- Jaire Alexander, Eric Stokes, Rasul Douglas, Adrian Amos, and Darnell Savage isn’t a secondary - it’s a primary.
- The Packers will eat $35,072,000 of dead cap by trading Kenny Clark. $13.125m of remaining signing bonus $13.747m of remaining restructure bonus (x2) $7.5m of roster bonus paid $0.7m workout bonus Yikes
- Jayden Reed is too good & valuable on offense to be returning punts.
- The Green Bay Packers don't need to draft help for Aaron Rodgers. They need to draft help for the Green Bay Packers.
- Edgerrin Cooper needs to be a 100% snaps player. Enough of this rotation nonsense.
- Trade two 1st round picks (plus) to get Khalil Mack Pay $91M over 4 years Win zero playoff games Trade away for next season 2nd & 6th round picks Eat $24M dead cap charge on the way out Not exactly an ideal payoff for the Chicago Bears with their Khalil Mack investment. Yikes.
- Packers 2024 Checklist Extend 🔲Love Restructure 🔲Gary 🔲Jaire 🔲Jenkins Goodbye 🔲Bakh 🔲Campbell 🔲Newman Restructure or Gone 🔲Jones Extend or Restructure 🔲Clark Restructure if Needed 🔲Smith Keep if Cheap?? 🔲Savage 🔲Nixon 🔲Dillon Top Needs 🔲CB 🔲S 🔲OL 🔲RB 🔲LB
- Packers have two starting 100% snaps type safeties in Xavier McKinney & Evan Williams. No reason why either should come off the field at this point.
- Props to Brian Gutekunst for having the balls to look at his backup QBs, both of whom he had recently drafted, saying “this isn’t good enough” and them trading for a guy just before roster cutdowns and cutting the other two.
- Imagine complaining about getting 1st & 2nd round picks for a player who didn’t want to be here…
- Tom Brady's parting gift to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers - $32 million of backloaded contract dead cap to hit their books over the next 1-2 years while he isn't even on the team.
