Just so I understand, is the tag value for Tae included in our current cap limit? Like, the $ that he would play for this year on the tag is already accounted for?

Or, do we still need to clear space for him?

As we've already extended Cobb and Amos and signed our new punter, who else is left to extend? Jaire?
Tae's tag is accounted for.

Not a lot of ways of creating cap space left. Adams and Jaire extensions would be the biggies. We could extend Lowry or do the void year credit card thing with him for a bit less than 4M saving.

Adams got his money and Packers did the right thing based off what he wanted. Happy for both! Well done Gute.

Rodgers must have known before he signed that the Packers were going to trade Davante…right?

Adams is perhaps the best receiver I've watched play for this team, and it will be sad not to see more of his incredible play in a GB uniform.

But I think this was the correct move.

This opens up a boatload of opportunities.

Should have cash to resign Rasul.

Maybe bring MVS back.

Now they can move up in the draft and get a decent wr

Too bad one of my favorite free agent wr, Cedric Wilson already signed with the Dolphins.

Also Za’Darius didn’t sign with the Ravens. Although I’m not sure the Packers want him back.

Adams was WAY underpaid his last few years in GB and never really whined. I am happy he got his bag!

We have enough money and picks to figure it out from here. I would bring in a couple FAs who can make one of what he would make.

I will miss him but this is the right thing

Rodgers has no room to be upset. His money is why he lost 17. Everyone wins!
