    I'm pretty sure we can find a cheaper kick returner. Bush has to be on his way out some day. TWill....tough to give up on a corner when House would be his replacement.
    Being a GM is tough work. Ted is probably in his closet right now stroking the hair of Tank...I mean APB....I mean Tyrion. Maybe that's why he hates Thompson so bad? He spurned his advances?

    Keep
    TWill
    Cobb
    House
    Richardson
    Barclay
    Guion

    On the fence
    Bulaga
    Harris
    Boykin
    Lattimore
    Tolzien

    Drop
    Bush
    Raji
    Flynn
    Kuhn

      BJ is better than Letroy and he won't cost a fortune. Unless we find a better tackle I'd keep Bulaga before I'd keep Harris or Boykin.

        Are the signing bonuses in there, Tony?

        Yup, being a GM is a tough gig.

        Keep this DT and let a WR go?

        I've never figured out what criteria they have to make those choices sometimes.

          Not sure what the cap situation will look like but you're probably looking at $35 mil next year with this group - Cobb, Williams and Bulaga being the most expensive. About $25 mil is offset by the same list of players' current contracts. Not sure it that works given existing bumps due to Rodgers, Matthews, Peppers, etc.

          Might have to see a couple guys like Hawk & Jones go away depending on their hits to the cap, not that that's a bad thing at this point.

            A current summary of Green Bay Packers 2026 player cap & cash figures.


            Here is where I got the numbers from...it was a weird copy and paste.

                I actually did too...I had to actually think hard to realize he was on IR.

                  I saw him rooting around on the sideline at the Eagle game.

                  He looked slightly less rotund.

                      I largely agree. However, you left out Bulaga who I would make a high priority.

                        Tolzien or Flynn need to be re-signed, no more Seneca Wallace!

                          Rodgers cap hit in 2015 only goes up 700K. Matthews goes up 1.8 mil. Jordy's goes down 1.3 mil in 2015 and the accelerates after that. Peppers cap hit goes up 8.5 mil. He's playing for a 1 mil base salary this year. That will be interesting. They could save about 3.5 mil by cutting Brad Jones. Same for Hawk. I think one of them will be gone. I think they could sign Tramon for less than his current cap hit of 9.5 mil.

                            Cobb is a no brainer. Barclay should be a no brainer if he's medically fine.

                            Bulaga is slightly risky. At one point he looked like an eventually pro bowler at right tackle but this year he's not looked as good. Doubt about him will factor into his next contract and he could prove to be a slight bargain or a slight disappointment if he never gets back on track. Maybe a short deal is in order.

                            House is a little riskier. He hadn't shown much until his contract year. I think he's worth bringing back.

                            Tramon is risky. He's getting up there in age and his best two season have been in contract years. Fool Ted once its shame on you, fool Ted twice its shame on Ted. He's a good player but with our embarrassment of riches at cornerback I think we've got to move on, save some bucks, and hope he gets a Grimes type deal to get us a comp pick.

                            Richardson I want back. He should cost nothing but the guy has shown some football ability and monster upside.

                            I don't see what has changed for Raji. Bring him back for all the same reasons he was brought back this time.

                            Boykin should get a contract so he can participate in the camp battle next year.

                            I'd love to have Harris back but he might have outgrown the roles we've got for him.

                            I actually do want Bush back. By all accounts he's a great teammate and the hardest working bastard in the league. He's unique in that he's got those veteran lead-by-example type qualities without all the messy pride and contract expectation of a former star.

                            You gotta have a fullback so if Kuhn wants the job he can sign for peanuts and compete against a UDFA next year.

                            Flip a coin between Flynn and Tolzien. I don't care. I think Flynn holds a better clipboard and Tolzien is the better actual QB.

                            There is a number I'd pay to get back Guion and Lattimore but they wouldn't like it.
                            70% of the Earth is covered by water. The rest is covered by Al Harris.

                              Show them the money:
                              Cobb
                              Bulaga

                              Resign without breaking the bank:
                              Williams
                              House
                              Richardson
                              Barclay
                              Tolzien
                              Guion
                              Barclay

                              Keep if they are dirt cheap:
                              Harris
                              Raji
                              Boykin

                              Bye-bye:
                              Kuhn
