However, assertions that he could not be afforded here were wrong, and they've been proven wrong. His deal accounts for about 106M in committed cap space through 2022, at which point the Bears can cut him with minimal dead money. That's an average of 21.2M in cap space through the first five years of the deal.Between the Smith's, the Packers have committed 118M in cap space to the EDGE position through 2022, which is an average of 29.5M through the next four seasons. Financially, the swap would be Mack for the two Smith's. They proved that they could have afforded him, cap wise, by actually spending more of their cap over the next four seasons this offseason than they would have had to spend over that same time span on Mack last offseason. But of course with the draft capital, it's more than just the two Smith's. And thus it was wise to pass on the deal. But since certain self-appointed cap gurus have written volumes to explain that the Packers could not or would not do what they actually turned around and did, I figured it was worth pointing this out.</blockquote>
