Official 2020 Non-FA Non-Draft Packer Offseason

[pbmax]

Couple of stats:

75% of passes to Scantron were on downs with 7 or more yards to go.

24/56 targets were deep shots. Only 6 were completed, the last against the Raiders.

He was a designated Go route.

HOLY shit that's a lot of money to give Kenny Clark

Yeah, its getting crazy. Clowney(Seahawks) wants a 100 million.

It is, but they have nobody else that's above average on the DL right now. Lowry is a mid-level starter type.
FWIW, sportrac estimates his market value at $18.2M https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/green-ba.../market-value/ so pb's post isn't far off.

Honestly, tying him up for 5 years (he'll be 29) isn't bad. Keeping him healthy and pairing him with another above average DL could really improve the defense. Wouldn't be shocked if Gute took a DL in R1.

And people scoffed at the usefulness of the catch-all offseason thread!

Packers still don't have a WRs coach. Have to wonder now if it'll be an internal promotion to fill the job. Kevin Koger, an offensive QC coach, has experience coaching WRs. So does Luke Getsy, but he's the QBs coach.

Why pay for a guy you're not even gonna use?

We have all the WR coach we are ever going to need.

exactly. Giving Rodgers the WR coach salary is a two-fer. The position is filled and you've found a way to give him a bonus that doesn't count against the cap.

That's why I was in favor of making him the first player/coach since Curly. Added bonus is then that he has to own the results. Everyone is happy, including gbgary - especially if they lose. lol

MUST SIGN SWERVIN' ERVIN


Ken Ingalls - Packers Cap @KenIngalls
Updated look at the Packers' salary cap:

Current Cap: $23.2M

➕Tender 5 ERFA
➕Draft 10 rookies
➕Extend Clark
➕Sign Bulaga, Crosby, Lewis, Ervin
➖Release Graham, Taylor

Adjusted Cap: $16.4M

➖In-Season Funds
➖Practice Squad
➖Contracts 52 & 53

Spendable Cap: $6.3M

[pbmax]

$6.3 mil seems low and will be close to reality IF Clark is extended AND the new CBA doesn't get signed before his deal.

There is a limit of how much money can be pushed forward in the contract without a CBA in place.

If you get a CBA, then Clark's short term cap hit could go down.

In other cities:

Joel Corry @corryjoel
Indy's top 51 account for $155.993M in 2020 salary cap commitments. After factoring in the carryover, the Colts are projected to have around $85M in cap space with a salary cap in the $200M neighborhood.

When everything is filtered through the lens of notoriety (QB) and clicks (return to form), suddenly you are asking the wrong questions.

An article about getting Rodgers back to form (an offense that ranked 8th in 2019 and 7th in the terrible no-good year of 2018) whose first action item is:

Get better receivers.

[mraynrand]

Rodgers would look awesome with a defense that could stop the run.

#Packers TE Robert Tonyan underwent core muscle surgery in Philadelphia, according to agent, Jack Bechta. Said the injury bothered Tonyan all year and explains why he couldn’t run the same. William Meyer, who has done the procedure for other #Packers, was the surgeon.

HAS WAITING FOR THIS SURGERY EVER PANNED OUT? cc Greg Jennings
