Threading The Needle - How Much Cap Can Be Pushed Into 2022?

I have been advocating for taking an aggressive approach to keeping the 2020 team as intact as possible for the 2021 season. Back-to-back 13-3 squads do not come around very often. Once GB allows some of their RFAs and UFAs to walk, they likely cannot get them back. For example, Tonyan, Sullivan, Lancaster, Redmond, Greene, and Boyle played 2,405 snaps last year. GB probably will try very hard to retain Tonyan (638 snaps), so that still leaves 1,568 snaps. The Packers should tread carefully here if they decide to watch some of these players walk away. They won't cost that much, but they can play.
