Packers 2024-25 Season Thread

Packers will get cap relief next year via having a insurance policy on Jordan Love. When teams have insurance policies on players who miss games and get paid out for those games it counts as cap relief in the following years cap. The Packers carry policies on at least their bigger contract players.

Green Bay is a longtime insurance customer. Love's contract is covered for up to $74.8 million for 2024.

Article says though when NY traded for Rodgers they decided not to pick up a policy on him even though GB had one for Rodgers prior. So the Jets lost out on getting money back on Rodgers deal last year and having gotten cap relief from it this year.
