I think most everyone would agree that the Packers have generally been on the conservative side when it comes to aggressive cap maneuvers.
Seriously? a big hell no to that! Maybe it was that way with Ted Thompson, but with Gutekunst, the Packers have done about as good a job of pushing the cap to the limit as anybody, hence the success we've seen.
