Packers spent above the cap in 2017

Is it possible that some of that was last minute adjustments to contracts to use up the current year's cap money and save some of future years'? I know teams like to do that.

well, the contracts of adams and linsley were both done before the start of the new league year, so their signing bonuses would have counted under the money spent for the current year

so adams got a 18 million dollar signing bonus and linsley got 8 million

so theres 26 million in cash spent right there

That's what I was talking about. That would seem to make it a matter of capology - doing the smart thing last year so we have more cap space available this year and future years.
