    Man that is cheap. I guess bargain hunting is over?
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    • Man, M Lewis must have signed for more than we thought.

      I'm starting to hear the #Packers aren't in good salary cap shape as reported. Because of cap charges that weren't previously calculated, multiple sources say they are very tight after their most recent spending spree. One source estimated it was close to $5M under. We'll see.

      If its really that low ($5 mil below) then someone is getting cut.

        Spotrac is close but has many discrepancies to reality. Their 2018 cap rollover number is an estimate vs actual. They don’t have the Allison deal. They don’t have the LTBE ProBowl bonus for Adams. They don’t have the Pankey deal from last year. Sprigg’s contract looks wrong...
        The guy is right that they don't have the Allison number which I think is 2M. Not sure about the rest.

          Over the cap does have Allison’s number, and Adams LTBE bonus (which is only 250k)

          And they’re still showing 13.5 million free

            Lewis signed for 2.1 million

            My guess is the “professional” hacks are looking for clicks

            • Yeah, that source was wrong. Still $23M under the cap.

                The Packers cap space if you include ALL contracts is just under 5M. I wonder if that's what they were looking at.

                  What does Adam's Gay and Lesbian bonus have to do with anything

                    Colts wanted to sign Preston Smith but were outbid by the Green Bay Packers. I'm told their bid for Smith was in the range of $12.5 million per year, slightly more than what they just gave to Justin Houston.

                      Patriots reportedly made a run at TE Jared Cook before he picked the Saints (and given that he has yet to officially join the Saints, maybe the Pats could still get him)

                      • Very nice breakdown of Bell's contract performance and what he gained and gave up with the year out. Banner and Deadspin make a strong case that he and others are overestimating the value of fully guaranteed money versus the Year 2 payout.



                        And a nice bit about the common theme among the Packers, Steelers and Bengals. That they tend to do less guaranteed money in later contract years than other teams and tend to substitute larger signing bonuses. But they are among the teams least likely to bail before Year 2 because of that cap hit.

                        This is very true of the recent FA class. Its true of Rodgers last deal and I think it can be traced back to Shields deal. I suspect each significant FA deal after Rodgers first big deal has followed this pattern and been substantially different than the pay as you go model Ted and Russ worked with when they were first building the team.

                        • Adam Schefter
                          Cardinals’ free-agent DT Rodney Gunter is visiting today with the Green Bay Packers, per source.

                          Some notes on Twitter indicate this guy played well for them last year. Was a bad defense though.

                            Gunter, a fourth-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals in 2015, registered career highs in tackles (44), sacks (4.5) and forced fumbles (2) last season. He also tallied 11 tackles for losses and nine quarterback hits, also career highs.

                            Gunter played in all 64 games during his first four NFL seasons.
                            The Cardinals played Gunter all over the defensive line last season, including at 3-technique and defensive end in their 3-4 front. He has terrific length and above average movement skills at his size.

                            • Someone else mentioned that its another guy 4-5 years in (from the dreaded 2015 draft) who could be part of the young vet restocking program.

                              • Tre Boston is still available, and at this point would probably come pretty cheap

                                Should we double down at safety, or do him and Amos basically play the same position?
