The Green Bay Packers are hitting the ‘reset’ button heading into the 2023 season. With that, oftentimes, comes a lot of cap-shedding and a surprise cut in camp. Aaron Rodgers is still on the books for about $40 million in 2023. Altogether, the Packers have over $57 million in dead cap, so a big chunk of the salary cap can’t be touched for this year’s roster. That means the Packers need to get creative with what they do have.
Last season, the Chicago Bears, who are completely rebuilding, shed a lot of cap space by trading or cutting veterans.
