Contending In 2023 - The Nuts And Bolts

If the Packers want to contend in 2023, they will need to keep as many of their good players as possible while complying with the salary cap limit. It looks to me like the Packers would have to "touch" the deals of every player with a 2nd or 3rd contract. Here is what they would have to do to retain the core of the team while re-signing their free agents. The Packers need $19M to get under the 2023 cap, about $30M to pay for draft picks, the PS, and have a piggy bank, and about $50M to sign most of their bigger free agents, as I noted in the 2023 Salary Cap - Trying to Contend article.
