[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 857852, member: 12283"] It's too early, but I love these offseason scenarios. -We don't know what the 2020 NFL cap ceiling will be, but right now the Packers should have something in the neighborhood of 40M in space available (this includes the space created by Rodgers' restructure). Releasing Graham and Taylor would create just over 12M in additional cap space, bringing the total to ~52M. If they feel more is needed, they may release Linsley to bring the total to something in the neighborhood of 60M. 52-60M in cap space would be somewhere in the neighborhood of league average. -Tonyan, Kumerow, Sullivan, Lancaster, Redmond, and Lazard are all Exclusive Rights Free Agents and should all be tendered and brought back into camp in the fall. -Of the unrestricted free agents, I would make a serious, substantial effort to extend Bryan Bulaga.
