The pessimistic world of salary cap obsession has taken over Packers fandom. Daily tweets and articles detailing all that needs to be done “kicking the can down the road” just to get under the cap has led fans to believe that an aggressive Packers free agency period is a pipe dream.
It’s true that the team is way over the cap. It’s true that they need to do a lot of restructuring, extensions, and outright releases to get under the cap by the team the league year starts. But I keep coming back to two tweets: one that said the media cares far more about the cap than the teams do; and one where it was reported that the Packers are willing to make Saints level moves to go all in again for Aaron Rodgers.
