Packers Salary Cap Update: 2016 NFL Draft Pool projects to a $1.75 million net cap hit

Also next year Datone Jones as I can't see the Packers picking up the 5th year option on him.
 
If the numbers are correct, we could spend 5 million in free agency and still have eight million left over for the cap to carryover. I would think that would be enough to get Jared Cook and maybe Karlos Dansby done.

However I see it much more likely that Ted will use the money to extend one of Lang, Sitton, or Bak.

Good to see ya post Griz ! thumbsup

Still have to sign your draft picks and any UDFA which TT takes between 6-10 a year. Factor in at least 1 vet resigning there isn't much to play with really.

Peppers will probably retire after we win Super Bowl 51. Use that money to re-sign some of the OL.

Peppers coming off the books helps a lot but we really are pretty close up against the cap as is and will have quite a bit going out just to resign 3/5 of those players assuming we bounce back on offense. It's a lot tighter than people think. You over reach one time and your hinder is in a bind fast.
