Salary Cap Visualizations

[KYPack]

What was it with Grbac? He must've looked like a hell of a QB. He got Gannon booted, then Balt tossed Dilfer in favour of his right after his SB win! Elvis, as far as I can tell, accomplished pretty much nothing.

He left the building, G.

RB, those guys are the equiv of Wood & Pickett.

Value guys, not particularly high dollar.

James Washington was a plan B, for instance.

If there is a James Washington available, I'd sign him if I was TT.

The NFL is the Moneyball league now.

Our GM will buy value and doesn't get fooled by flash, while managing the cap. We got enough problems signing our own for the next few years. We've drafted some real monsters. Now, we gotta feed 'em.

Braddah KY,

My whole point is TT needs to be more aggressive in fa to fill holes.

Agree about the value guys -- starters not roster players.

What young pups are you refering to in the front 7?

Left the building with no hardware in tow! Dilfer with an SB ring, Gannon with an MVP award. Gannon would've had the SB ring as well if Callahan hadn't thrown it for his friend Gruden (channeling my inner Tim Brown here )

So the Packers lost to the Super bowl champ Giants and Super Bowl runner-up 49ers in the divisional playoffs...it sucks, but I bet Jacksonville fans would trade with us any day.

If this thread really is about the salary cap, IMO the team is better off trying to sign CM3 and Rodgers to extensions. Raji probably, depending on the draft. I don't think there will be a whole lot of cap room leftover for high or mid-level free agent signings, and it's not TT's MO anyway, so I'm not sure why it's much of a discussion point. Nobody thinks GB will have cap room to sign Jennings.

If you draft and develop, you teach your guys to play in the system & draft new players if they can't or go elsewhere for the money. A FA signing is always a risk because the coaches don't know the player's practice habits and can't be sure if they're a perfect fit for the system. Not saying drafting reveals that with 100% accuracy, but if you guess wrong it's usually a less costly mistake.

Sometimes FA works, sometimes it doesn't. I think that's trite enough.

An (mostly?) unmentioned player in this thread is James Jones.

I agree with you that it's a moneyball league - so what do you do with that guy? If he's our #2 WR and starts off strong next year, he's going to be a bear to hold on to.

[Zpark93]

What would our cap situation be like if Nick Collins was still on the roster? Seems like it would he a tight fit trying to sign our guys if he was still around

How ironic, since he doesn't hold onto the ball when playing the Bears

They would be a much better defense if he was still around, so I would take the cap problems it would create. However, it might also create cap space, because there would be much less need for Woodson and his salary.

I have a feeling Raji won't re-sign. I don't get a sense he likes being a space-eater type.

That, and Woodson either taking a cut or not coming back, will free up cap space.

But then you've got Finley, whose make-or-break is next year. And a host of others.

Damn, it would help if Drew Brees wasn't making so much coin.

[pbmax]

Flacco's agent says he deserves to be the highest paid QB in the League. I think they are planning on driving a hard bargain.

If the Packers offer Raji a good deal, I think he'd sign. It would be a big gamble for him to play out his contract and risk a serious injury in the last year of the contract. You're right about Brees. That contract he signed drove up the price of signing top QB's at a time when the salary cap is not going up much.

Is this a reply to a different question?

er something?

I don't get the query, RB.
