Do we see other teams fussing around and worrying about cap space? Hell no. You just do what you need to do to get the job done.

That being said, the two posts above concern my second and third favorite teams, and all I can say is damn, I'm sure glad it wasn't my favorite team doing stupid shit like that.

A large part of going 13-3 was being smart - actually more like not being stupid. The other major factor was luck. If the Packers had been a little more smart and a little less stupid, of course - mostly during the Ted Thompson years, we'd be riding even higher than we are, assuming luck was with us.

Why more crippling than now?

With the increase in minimum salary, there is "less" money left for the bigger contracts. If you have 3 Superstars taking up $75,000,000 and 30 guys making league minimum at $30,000,000 you only have $100,000,000 on so to sign your 20 2nd contact and starters remaining. You pay your OL and there is $50,000,000 to sign your remaining 15 starters.

Packers sign Jake Kumerow 1 year 675,000.

The Patriots wanted to go another direction than 42 year old Brady. I am not sure how well it will work out for either side. There is now QB in waiting for the Pats. Brady is about done, I don't know how a 17 game season will play out for him

Panthers signing Bridgewater. Reports 20 million per year. Cam Newton given permission to seek trade.

Who’s in the market for an inaccurate QB?

Bears signing DE Robert Quinn to 5 year 70 million contract. Bears are releasing Leonard Floyd.

Praise white Jesus and the real moorish Jesus. I was worried the Packers had signed the Sloth.

after yesterday's hole plugging, and today's tenders, they're down to $1.49m...that's before any cuts or money moving.
