Fair? What are fair numbers? This don't mean squat till we see some numbers.

I wish Finley would restructure.

I know it sucks to sit on the sideline during FA but we are underpaying AROD and CMIII about $20M per year if not more.

Right. They're probably just going to let Rodgers, Matthews and Raji enter free agency when their contracts expire. TT isn't planning on offering them contract extensions or anything.

I don't believe that. Please post 'a source'.



ahhh ! That's not fair.

I'm guilty of using the lowest form of whit or sarcasm, sometimes.

It's just the first shoe.

Red & Woody, calm the fuck down boys.

This is ugly, but fools gold is fools gold.

The first wave of FA ain't worth it.

Ya gotta take it like a man.

A.J. Hawk agrees to restructure contract.

Posted by Josh Alper on March 15, 2013, 5:28 PM EDT

" The numbers aren’t available yet, but PFT has confirmed that Hawk has agreed to redo the final three years of his deal. It was an expected move as Hawk stood to count $7.05 million against the salary cap for the 2013 season, a number that was getting in the way of Green Bay making other moves.

Including roster bonuses, Hawk was scheduled to make $5.2 million in 2013, $5.7 million in 2014 and $6.2 million in 2015 before the restructure. " Fr. LINK

yeah yeah, giving a-rod a new deal, if it does happen this season, won't make our cap number go up that much (maybe 5 million), hell his number might even go down

raji has a cap number of 6.6 million next season. he's a 3-4 lineman. he's cap number probably won't go up that much, if any this year

both could be frontloaded like a-raods first contract, where he had a first year salary of 13 million, or they could do what every other team does and give them the vet minimum for the first couple of years with a big signing bonus

clay has a cap number of almost 5 million already, again his cap number might go up a bit with a new deal, but not a lot

its crazy to think we're cap strapped with almost 20 million available because we have to resign 3 guys. hell we could have 30 million in free cap space after signing those 3 if the deals are done like everyone else

every single team out there has guys they need to sign, yet they find room to sign help

Heck KY. If we can't have a wee bit of fun with it.

We might be checking the back of cheap magazines for ad's on hair transplants.

Way to snap em upright red.

Here's the numbers I have on the mentioned players CAP hits for 2013:

Aaron Rodgers ... $9,750,000

BJ Raji ... $6,595,000

Clay Matthews ... $4,910,000

Before restructuring today AJ Hawk ... $7,050,000

It seems reasonable that Jermichael Finley, like it or not, will have to restructure of face the consequences. His CAP hit ... a ridiculosly high $8,750,000 !!!

and .... Just peaking at it a wee bit more.

Tramon Williams ... $8,500,000 !!!

Jarrett Bush ... $1,783,333

If you really look at it Ted Thompson can claw back more CAP space. He simply has to get that done.

GO PACK GO !

and looking at those numbers woody

if hawk, finley and tramon don't step up there games this next year (if they're still on the team)

we could be clearing 20 million or more next offseason just like we did this offseason by drive and woodson leaving

you can always gain more cap room

so get some fucking players that fill some of our many holes
