GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers are broke.
Not organizationally, of course. Lambeau Field serves as a 24/7 ATM, and they just made a few bucks via a stock sale. But cap-wise, they’re broke.
The Packers will somehow get below the salary cap by the 3 p.m. deadline. Maybe they’ll outright release Randall Cobb today. Whatever, they’ll figure it out.
The problem is they have almost nowhere else to turn, no ability to even stay status quo from a talent perspective, let alone improve a team that has fallen short in the postseason the past three years after spectacular regular seasons.
