The Way a Packers Forum Should Be

I hope you're right Matt. But Ken is probably the leading tracker of the Packers cap situation and he thinks it's pretty dire next year. In terms of the Packers plan, he thinks it's 'go all in' this year and hope to win a SB and then take some painful measures after that. Will certainly be an eventful 18 months off the field for the Packers.Madcity_matt wrote: ↑10 Apr 2021 10:12It's not nearly as bad as it looks. By not pushing more money out of 21 into 22 (yet) they have left themselves more flexibility to push 22 money into 23 when the new tv deal gives the cap a major boost. For one, after this season the Packers can decide what they want to do with Rodgers contract- either a restructure with adding a few years or certainly can trade/move on if they see fit (I think this is unlikely.) Preston Smith will for sure be redone or cut after this season, depending on this season. Z Smith can be restructured after this season. Billy Turner restructured or move on.
The biggest factor will be the development of the 20 and 21 draft picks this camp and preseason. I'm not too scared at this point, I think the Packers have a plan, and it's been working pretty well so far.
I mean we're certainly in a bit of a "you can't keep everyone" phase, but the only people who think this situation is dire are people who just refuse to believe how big the TV deals are going to be even though they've already been announced. Moving money from 22 into 23 will be relatively easy;; should look something like this offseason with all the renegotiations leaking out over time and then when the new cap year starts, we look around and realize everyone is still on the roster and we didn't even have to pull out the big guns (Rodgers' cap, Adams extension, etc.). Next year maybe we'll pull out the big guns. But it's genuinely going to be alright.British wrote: ↑10 Apr 2021 16:53I hope you're right Matt.

That's exactly where my head's at. You can't keep everyone (see Linsley, C.) but they should be able to get creative enough to keep the core together.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑10 Apr 2021 17:05I mean we're certainly in a bit of a "you can't keep everyone" phase, but the only people who think this situation is dire are people who just refuse to believe how big the TV deals are going to be even though they've already been announced.
