Packers Offseason/Free Agency Thread

[SudsMcBucky]

I agree with all of that except your blind spot about Kenny Clark. Restructure him, of course, but make damn sure he is still a Packer.

100%.

Agree. Wow, look at everyone agreeing with Tex!

He's going to get suspicious that he's being set up.

[texaspackerbacker]

Naw. I just thought this was somehow "sensible day" for ya'all hahahahahaha.

Salary cap went up a LOT. Nobody expecting the jump it took. FA's are going to get PAID.
cap jumped 30M to 255.4M or thereabouts.

Will be interesting to see what flexibility that gives GB.

More up-front money for Love, so you don't have to eat a cap monster down the road?

A middle-of-the-road safety to play while the kids Guter drafts get up to speed?

Interesting to see.

Holy crap. I just saw yesterday where Florio was told by a source when he says has always been reliable on cap issues that we were going to be looking at a lot closer to 250 than the low 240s, but this... wow.

Obviously, if upur cap is up $30M that means everyone else's is too, so it's not like it gives us any sort of unbalanced, special advantage. But it sure does help Gute and Brandt field the best possible team for our window.

Yeah, doesn't really give GB any advantage. It does allow them to make some moves without having to kick cap hits down the road.
I'm curious what this means for Aaron Jones and Preston Smith. Certainly helps out with a Jordan Love extension.

I still think they'll extend Kenny Clark and release DeVondre.

Technically, this might mean they could keep Bakhtiari on the roster. Oof. Unless they can get him to agree to a contract adjustment (unlikely), I think you have to cut bait and use that space for extensions or elsewhere.

You trade Bakh to the Jest for a fifth round pick!

Include Rodgers and we can get that back up QB with playoff experience I was asking for.

Hahah. Too bad his cap number is insane this year.

[ThunderDan]

Actually, the Packers would be OK. The signing bonus doesn't pass to the new team if I remember correctly. ARod would be 3.161 million against the Packers cap in 2024.

The Jets would take a $49,000,000 cap hit if they trade him for a total of $66,161,000 for the year.

Insane for the Jets. They can't trade him.

[Fritz]

But they can cut him so he can sign with the Vikes!
