His quickest route to extra cap space would be releasing 36-year-old outside linebacker <a href="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/3530/julius-peppers" target="_blank">Julius Peppers</a>, a move that would turn his $10.5 million cap charge into a $2.5 million hit on Green Bay's cap, saving $8 million. Unless Thompson breaks the bank by re-signing starting guards <a href="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/11382/josh-sitton" target="_blank">Josh Sitton</a> and <a href="http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/12680/tj-lang" target="_blank">T.J. Lang</a> (each in the final year of their respective deals) to mammoth extensions, though, the Packers won't need the cap room that would come with cutting Peppers."</blockquote>
