And it only intensified when Aaron Rodgers’ $134 million extension was announced on Wednesday.
So will the Packers have the financial room to trade for arguably one of the best defensive players in the league? That answer is yes. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Tom Silverstein tweeted that Rodgers’ deal won’t affect this year’s salary cap — which is completely different than what reporters at other outlets were saying.
According to Over The Cap, the Packers have $10.9 million in cap space this year. Cut Lance Kendricks and Jason Spriggs and you’re at $14.5 million. Mack’s cap number for this year is $13.
