It's a good move to first help get under the cap and then add needed talent.

It looks like that was the low hanging fruit to free up some money.

You can cut some guys here.

Making these moves puts us at $185 million and some change. (does not include the $8 million from Bakhtiari).

At the start of the season, I might have agreed on Turner. And although he did not have a good NFC Championship game, he was incredibly versatile throughout the year. IDK if he is a potential answer at RT, but if so, it is much easier to find guards than tackles.

Point being: there are ways to structure to cuts under CBA to get even more cap room.

I'd also extend Adams (and Ja Money too... cuz we/I love him). From what Gutey said right around the end of the season (before playoffs started), the Packers expect to be players in the secondary market (i.e., released vets that won't count against compensatory pick calculations). That'd be smart, too, because that secondary market is likely to have a lot more talent than normal years. So, while I'd expect the Packers to chase (and hopefully get Watt), I don't think the Packers are in cap savings mode with just Watt in mind... in other words, I'd expect a couple well-known names to be on the Packers' radar after the draft.

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
