Salary cap hole makes the coming draft, and therefore the combine, extra important.
It’s combine week, and it’s a very important one for the Green Bay Packers. The team continues to maneuver its way under the 2022 salary cap, mostly by redoing existing contracts, which generally means pushing money into the next few years. When they finally run out of wiggle room in 2023 or ‘24, there is likely to be a significant exodus of established players.
Those players will have to be replaced, to a large extent, by the athletes selected in this year’s draft.
