Packers 2022 Thread

Jarran Reeds contract will count just $1.7M against 2022 cap.
With him and Tonyan added, the Packers should have about $14.3M cap space and can gain more with extension to Jaire.
That extension could get them back to around $20M of cap space.

Packers going to be in a mess in 2023 maybe more so then this year with doing all these restructures and adding void years so 2023 is going to have a big cap hit.

Reed was given a $1.865 million signing bonus and a league-minimum base salary of $1.035 million. Roster and workout bonuses pushed the total to $3.25 million. Playing-time and sack incentives can add to his payday.

To maximize the team’s remaining salary cap, four void years were inserted at the end of the contract. That means a signing bonus proration of just $373,000. That results in a cap charge of $1.758 million.
 
With 14 million million might allow you go and sign one cheap FA for a couple million. After that unless you redo deals with Lowry or extend Alexander won't give you much if any room to sign draft picks and give you room to go into season with.
 
So Sammy Watkins is out there in FA still. How about him on a 1 year deal for 1-2 million?

They can still extend Jaire and add cap room like Danno said. We may be able to add a veteran WR before the draft. IMO, that would be ideal.

Ideal but unlikely. Couple of things. Am I the only person who is not confident they extend Alexander now? Just have this sense that he plays it out and deals with it in the off-season, hope I’m wrong. As to WR I’m inclined to adding post draft, see what you get and let the dust settle. There might be some talent released later

Thing with Jaire it takes both sides to agree. Alexander would be foolish to ask for anything less then a record contract. Packers have history of wanting all guranteed money paid out in first couple years so any ext might not save much if any money on a contract this year. So extending Alexander is not as easy as it seems to save cap. Even more so if he gets a 40-50 million SB.

Maybe, I know the NFL landscape has changed and so has the way GB does business, but honestly I remember this same kind of doomsaying about every good Packer player going back to Nick Collins or even Aaron Kampman. He's not going to sign, he's not going to sign, he's not going to sign.... whoops, oh, they kept him. They've never let players of that caliber go without extending them at least once. You can even count Adams in that group, because they gave him a second contract and he was traded before a third.

I was thinking more how the landscape has changed, more guaranteed money and such. It’s more player driven than the past. Not saying it’s NBA player power but Adams and Hill basically played hard ball and won

This is why I am saying Alexander's agent probably has said to Ball ok Jalen Ramsey's contract is the base we do a deal. Alexander is a young top CB in the NFL you can't let him walk so you pretty much got to play ball and work off that deal.
