Walker deal makes more cap room

[KYPack]

This just in from the JSO:

The trade of wide receiver Javon Walker to the Denver Broncos on Saturday resulted in the Packers picking up significant salary cap room.

Walker was scheduled to count $2.005 million against the salary cap in 2006, but as a result of the trade, the Packers will be relieved of more than half of that total because his $1.125 million base salary transfers over to the Broncos. The Packers are still responsible for the remaining portion because it relates to the signing and option bonuses Walker received when he signed the contract.

Not bad, we get a little more room to sign up all these rooks.

I think the JSO comment is off just a little. I believe Walker still has a small bonus amount that will now be accelerated. His contract was actually through 2007, but terminable a year early due to performance. One mid contract bonus he received, I think, was then amortized over the remaining life of the contract, through 2007.

The end result, I believe is an additional acceleration now that Walker was traded of a little less the $400,000. In the end, I think the Packers gain only about $770,000 in additional cap room in 2006, not a little more than a million as JSO seems to suggest..


Nit picking, I know.

Like we need more money to sign the rookies. What we need to do is SPEND MORE money to sign MORE veteran STARS. BUT the STARS are now long gone. The Polar Bear bypassed the OPPORTUNITY to SIGN THEM. She would rather have ROOKIES PLAYING. Doesn't SHE know that ROOKIES lacks experience?

[MJZiggy]

He drafted the stars. Just wait.

Hey Tank,

Did you read the artical on cap economics? It backed up everything I said..

Remember when I said UFA was an open market and by nature an open market drives up the price of whatever is being sold.....I said that drafting and tags/tenders ect...are ways to lock up your players for long term at good rates...

The artical basically word for word but better written said everything that I said to you.

Point is, Baby Tanky, we DO have enough to :

Sign the rooks
Pick up a key June cut
and maintain a reserve for in-season moves.

Your own broken-record sentiments about TT are annoying and well known.

You SURE you ain't Patler?

I make the cap savings 1.15 million on the JW trade, for now, we'll see what the #2 pick (Colledge?) gets.

The $770,000 you speak of is JWalk's LTBE bonus.

Well see what the total cap savings is.

Would that be my mount, or Baby Tanky's?

Either way, I'll accept it, dubble "O"!

Re: Walker deal makes more cap room

nice that something good happened while getting rid of that traitor. I hope his career sucks from here on out and has to go work a real job. I got nothing but hatred for walker.

[No Mo Moss]

Any word on the deal he signed with Denver?

That would be our beloved Tank. As a person that absolutely hates dwelling on the past, I think it's time to put Mr. Sherman and Mr. Whale at rest with this organization. Lets move on ..............

My calculations are based on:

A pre-trade cap figure of just over $2Million, made up of a salary of $1.15 million and a prorated bonus amount of $855,000.

Following the trade, GB has to account for the $855,000 plus a remaining roster bonus portion of $380,000 that would not have hit the cap until 2007. (See my explanation of the second bonus ammortized over the life of the contract, which really was through 2007, but terminable based on performance.)

If you add the $855,000 plus the $380,000, the 2006 cap hit should be $1,235,000. If you subtract that total from the pre-trade hit of $2.005.000 you get a cap space gain of $770,000 resulting from the trade..

Any word on the deal he signed with Denver?

He signed a 6 year extension with 10 million in S & SB.

Guy got paid, a bad precedent, but it's a done deal.

These are preliminary numbers, but pretty close to the actual deal.
