$3.2 million. That’s the best estimate for how much salary cap space the Green Bay Packers have, meaning the team will be limited in any spending on free agents.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ contract could still be reworked to create some space, but he’s already received a $6.8 million bonus.
There has been some creative bookkeeping done.
Running back Aaron Jones has a cap hit of just under $4.5 million, despite signing a four-year, $48-million contract agreement.
There are still some contract extensions or restructures that can free up salary cap room, but there’s a penalty for having really good players – they tend to cost a lot.
