Time to use that extra space to sign a stud WR.

Also this probably means they aren't releasing Lowry next off-season to save cap mo eh like some have predicted...

Also means they need to find another way to get 2022 Cap lower, unless it's higher than predicted. Though releasing Preston Smith contract or at least getting another reduction in salary might still be on the table.

It's a bit of a surprise. I wasn't sure Dean would be on the final 53 this year. The cap savings is pretty modest so in the greater scheme of things doesn't really move the needle all that much.

Possibly if they get guys to agree on extension with signing bonuses but without extension they have to start releasing guys.

Also got to remember who's not currently signed for 2022, WR Adams, CB King, TE Tonyan, WR MVS, WR Funchess, CB Sullivan, G Patrick, CB Jackson, P Scott, S Redmond, LS Bradford are all FAs. And others like WR Lazard are RFAs.

And extending guys starts eating into the future cap were the Packers are pretty high compared to other teams.

Trading Rodgers Almost $22.5 mil alone.
Releasing the Smith Bros (Re-sign Z to a more team friendly contract.) $16 mil for Z and another $12.5
Cut Turner and Lowry $4 mil each
That's $59 mil of cap freed up giving them 19 mil to play with. They will need about $10 mil to pay draft picks and free agents.

I predict the cap at 208 As if, I know. As if, anyone else does. Gute and Ball have a tough job...I know that much.
Watch how much AR costs if he stays. I predict brutality.
