Alright brehs,
It was a great season. Unexpected (unless you're James Jones). 13-3. Won at home in the Divisional Round. Lost predictably to the 49ers who are the more talented team. Do we have any more runs with Aaron as our QB?
He's 36 years old with an arm that's not as good as before. He's throwing off his back foot more than not.
I'd say our priorities in free agency are the following
1. Keep Bryan Bulaga. He was our best OL from start to finish. Yes, he's injury prone. But cotdamn he's a warrior. We don't have an heir apparent and he's 31 years old. I'd say we can get a few more years out of him.
2. Cut Jimmy Graham. Get those cap savings ASAP. Cut Lane Taylor too.
3. Sign 2 WRs. One a slot WR and another who can stretch the defense with speed.
4. Sign an ILB WHO CAN RUN. I'd opt to NOT re-sign Martinez.
4. I don't mind Fackrell back but I think he's gone. Rashan Gary better step up this offseason
5. I don't mind Crosby back, he had a good year.
6. I don't mind Tramon back, he is defying age and was really good this year and is also good for the young DBs.
Overall, we need injection of talent in a couple of spots. Perhaps with more weapons Aaron will be able to play in LaFleur's scheme much more efficiently. But overall, I'm encouraged with the team. Za'Darius Smith for President.

NFL projects 2020 salary cap around $200M, Packers have $182.3M committed
@FloorGeneral
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported Tuesday that the league’s 2020 salary cap is projected around $200 million, with a range starting at $196.8 million and extending to over $201 million.
The Green Bay Packers have roughly $182.3 million committed to the salary cap in 2020, according to Over the Cap.
The spending capabilities of GM Brian Gutekunst should range between about $15 million up to roughly $20 million, although those figures don’t factor in any potential cost-saving moves made in the coming months.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers will count $32.6 million against the cap in 2020. Six others will count $10 million or more: linebacker Za’Darius Smith ($17.2 million), receiver Davante Adams ($16.6 million), left tackle David Bakhtiari ($14.2 million), linebacker Preston Smith ($13.5 million), tight end Jimmy Graham ($11.7 million) and center Corey Linsley ($10.5 million).
Gutekunst could save a big chunk of money on the cap by releasing Graham and guard Lane Taylor, who spent most of the year on injured reserve.
Although Gutekunst won’t have the ability to be as ultra-aggressive in free agency as he was last March, he should have the financial flexibility to add a mid-level player or two and extend defensive lineman Kenny Clark with a long-term deal.
Among the Packers’ in-house free agents in 2020 are linebacker Blake Martinez, right tackle Bryan Bulaga, kicker Mason Crosby, cornerback Tramon Williams, linebacker Kyler Fackrell and tight end Marcedes Lewis.
