Packers 2024-25 Season Thread

but it seems like every time the packers rework a contract lately, they add void years. ball used to be very good at protecting the packers from dead cap, but now it constitutes something like 25% of the total cap. i just would like to see a return to those days when we had very little dead cap.

This subject was a FlaPack specialty. I think the idea is that with player salaries and the cap getting so juiced, void years are a way to keep up with these salaries and NFL player spending overall. TT refused to use them, arguably to the detriment of the roster. Gute overused them during Covid because of flat revenue and that's what we're working our way out of. Going forward I expect more sparing use but they don't have to be a bad thing if it allows you to add or retain talent.

hope you are correct. wasting a quarter of our salary cap on dead money doesn't seem productive to me.

He can be the new 3-4 CB/LB for Pitt like he was with Joe Barry.

I remember back in 2019, Preston Smith was your number 1 UFA target. He's a true 3-4 OLB, was a really good one for GB for these years. I get why he wanted to play where he's comfortable.

Yeah I don't blame him 9 years as a 3-4 LB and at this point in career does not want to try to switch. Even more so knowing GB is probably moving on from him after the season anyways. Go play in 3-4 have good 2nd half of the season maybe he can work out reworked deal to stay in Pitt.
