Who Will Remain Standing On The Offense For 2022?
Returning Probably Iffy Gone Cap Love, Benkert Etling Benkert and Etling are low cost players. Love is still the heir apparent and the backup quarterback. Rodgers if traded should provide $19.8M in cap relief, but not until March 16th, meaning the Packers could not use those cap savings to extend or tag other players like Adams and Lazard. If extended, his new contract could result in up to $20M or so in cap relief, absent a pay cut or other unlikely contingency. If Rodgers returns, the Packers probably will wring as much as they can in cap relief from his new deal so they can retain and/or acquire a talented supporting cast. They would also get the contract executed as soon as possible so his cap savings can be used prior to the tampering period and to help meet the cap limit.
