[QUOTE="TJV, post: 615834, member: 4300"] I’m not sure what it means that we’re discussing the OL in the 20[B]17[/B] season. Perhaps it’s a collective residual - now unconscious - worry about the OL requiring an outlet? Or perhaps it’s just the 'deadest' of dead times in the offseason. I’ve gotta say I’m looking forward to the [I]problem [/I]of keeping the current starting OL intact for the 2017 season because that will likely mean they were all mostly healthy for 2015 and 2016 and after years of very conscious worry about the OL I’m looking forward to seeing how good this OL can be for the next two seasons. If they play like they did over the last half of last season and if Rodgers is healthy, great things are in store for the offense. The saying, 'make hay while the sun shines' comes to mind. I linked the Packers Notes story Hoarding Money for 2017 previously on this thread ([URL]http://packersnotes.com/2015/06/packers-hoarding-money-for-2017/[/URL]) and Rodney makes the point that the Packers have about $15M in cap space and only one must-sign UFA coming up next season in Daniels – and perhaps Hayward depending upon how this season plays out. So he says don’t be surprised if that number doesn’t go down much in the meantime and don’t be surprised if more than that is available to roll into 2017. But a lot can happen in the next two seasons: A single play can change a player's fortunes - even a team’s season - so 2017 is far away in NFL terms. In spite of what a very few misguided Packers fans believe (no one on this thread) Thompson has had a firm handle on the Packers salary cap situation since he arrived. He fixed it quickly after arriving as GM and has that surplus available to roll into the upcoming seasons in spite of securing the services of the best player in the league through the 2019 season. Draft, develop, and keep the core of the team intact has been his mantra. The more core players there are, the tougher it is to keep them. But it's a good problem to have. [/QUOTE]
