Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 6794" data-source="post: 541002">I would like them to re-sign James Jones and in addition John Kuhn and Ryan Pickett to near veteran minimum contracts. I'm totally sure Jermichael Finley will never play another down for the Packers.While I think Jolly and EDS shouldn't be signed for the kind of money you suggested I'm convinced Shields is going to ask for more.Finally, the salary cap doesn't represent average salary per year, as you calculated. As NFL contracts aren't fully guaranteed you have to include a signing bonus into a contract which will be prorated over the length of the contract. Normally the base salary increases over the length of the contract (that's because of the actual cash flow), therefore resulting in lower cap numbers at the start and higher numbers at the end of it.I don't think there's any chance Tramon gets an extension close to what you suggested. Even if we restructure his contract his prorated signing bonus of the contract he signed in 2011 will count $2 million against the cap. No matter how you structure a 4-year, $26 million extension for him either the cap hit for the 2014 would be way too high or we wouldn't be able to cut him over the next four years.</blockquote>
