GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers wrestled with salary cap problems last offseason. They’re wrestling with cap problems this offseason. And they’ll be wrestling with cap problems next offseason.
The best way to beat the cap is with an influx of young, talented players who are on cheap rookie contracts. Only one team has more draft picks in 2022 than Green Bay, which has 11. Not only do the Packers have additional first- and second-round picks following the trade of Davante Adams, but they’ve got two free-agent compensatory selections (fourth and seventh rounds) and a seventh-rounder from last summer’s trade of cornerback Ka’dar Hollman.
