[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 768720"] Actually, overthecap.com shows about $60 million in cap space for 2019 which assumes a $14 million bump over the current $176 million in cap space: [URL]https://overthecap.com/salary-cap/green-bay-packers/[/URL] What you evidently did not notice is that 2019 cap covers only 29 players under contract with T. Williams data not yet posted. For the math-challenged, that's 24 short of full deck, a PS or any cap in reserve. Those 29 players do not include guys named Matthews, Cobb, Clinton-Dix, your buddy Wilkerson, Montgomery, Brice and Ryan, the very same guys expected to play a primary or secondary role in your "win now" season and you expect to magically replace them with that money. And fill out the roster. The cost of players keeps going up, and the cost of core and impact players is going up faster than the cap. There's always the possibility of a 10 win season so long as Rodgers is around assuming his shoulder does not cause him difficulties. With a QB of that caliber, you reckon you start at 8-8 and work your way up from there with some measure of personnel competency and reasonably decent roster health. I suppose many are OK with 10 wins, getting to the playoffs, and then seeing what happens. I wouldn't question 10 wins this year, but how's that "seeing what happens" thing been working lately? Does anybody honestly think this is as a good a roster as those going back 2, 3, 4. 5 years? No, it isn't. And it's getting worse next year. Expending limited cap space on aging short time FAs makes the 2019 situation that much more concerning in their half measures. There's a way out of this bind, which the brain trust is making more acute: two outstanding drafts providing a mix of starters and impact players in their rookie and second seasons. The way things are going, it looks more like reaching to fill needs. Exhausting? For some, perhaps. Hillarious? Not so much. One might question the state of mind that finds hilairty in something so exhausting. Anyway, you can get used to it or ignore it, but the cap updates will continue. [/QUOTE]
