The N-F-L salary cap will be higher for the 2022 season, but staying under it will be even tougher than for Green Bay.
The numbers could force the Packers to make a change at quarterback that they apparently don’t want to make.
The Packers had to make big changes to the contracts of six starters just to keep running back Aaron Jones, defensive back Kevin King, and veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis.
The front office basically sold the future to keep 20 of the team’s 22 starters from last season’s 13-and-3 team on board.
The hard facts are the Packers can save around $22 million against the cap by moving on from Rodgers after the 2021 season.
