The #Rams are trading LB Alec Ogletree to the #Giants for 2 draft picks, source said. He was offered to the #Chiefs, too, but they declined. @AdamSchefter on it first.


Why hasn't Gutey traded anyone yet?

Dead serious, need someone to check my cap math there.

Everyone is reporting Packers at $19.6 mil. That does not include rookie pool ($8.7 mil). If it did it would be 10.9 million of room.

But I don't get the discrepancy between the public number 19.6-8.7=10.9 and the number I get when I add up all the particulars (7.0).

People cannot be quoting salary cap numbers without counting dead cap space can they?

every fucking year

8.7 million for rookies does not mean the rookies will take up 8.7 million in cap space

i don't feel like doing my own thing again for the god knows how many-th years in a row

just read this

https://overthecap.com/explaining-the-nfls-rookie-salary-cap/

in short. rookies take the place of other guys on the 53 man roster. 3rd round picks and later basicaly don't add to the cap because they make the minimum and are replacing guys who also made the minimum.

2nd round picks make about a half million a year more then minimum. which leaves just the first round pick that actually adds anything to the cap.

for the packers last year since they traded out of the first. king got about 300,000 more then the minimum, and adams got just over the minimum. so last year the rookie class took up between 500,000 and a million of our cap space

[red]

after we sign our rookies we will have about 1-2 million less in cap space, NOT 8.7 million less

last year the #14 pick had a cap number of just over 1 million his first year

#14 in the second round had a cap number of 727,000

minus out the minimum wage guys they replace and thats a cap hit of about 750,000.

the other rounds cancel out

OK, so he worked out actual cap space that had to be cleared for the 2015 rookies by team and it floats around one third to one half of the actual allowed rookie cap space, but can vary quite a bit team to team. Packers in that year had an allocation of 5.3 mil for 9 players and had to clear 1.8 mil. Bears and Jets were over half.

So I will adjust the offseason template to knock down the cap space by only 1/3 of the rookie allocation.

What's on the Roster to trade except Aaron Rodger if that was even possible.

How much trade value is in CM III? Randall Cobb?

The Green Bay Packers are frankly in Re-build Mode or like a fat Guy at the Pool that never gets in the water.

and the defense almost always looked confused

we have a second round pick, who looked decent last year, just sitting there

the new DC has spent his time so far in GB watching tapes and trying to figure out what was wrong with the D. i think the fact that burnet has been signed yet is very telling

If I was Pettine I would simply design my defensive secondary schemes and ask the Brass to get me some talent. Last week that Talent Pool was weak. This week we know it's weaker with CB Damarious Randall wondering what accommodations will be like in Cleveland.

Transaltion: Green Bay needs Defensive Backs.

Best Defensive Backs In The NFL Draft

David Hegler ... March 3, 2018

1. Minkah Fitzpatrick – Alabama, Defensive Back

2. Derwin James – Florida State, Defensive Back

3. Denzel Ward– Ohio State, Cornerback/Nickel back

4. Joshua Jackson – Iowa, Cornerback

Comment woodbuck27:

Looking at Mocks we might expect about 6 QB's to go off the board in Round One; and as well, the same number of Defensive Backs (6) to be selected in the First Round.

Marshall Newhouse released by the Raiders. We can now downgrade the RT position by releasing Bulaga and resigning Newhouse.

Not a bad backup to have though. Played some Guard.
