As was the case last offseason, the Green Bay Packers are currently over the salary cap entering the 2022 offseason, meaning general manager Brian Gutekunst and executive vice president Russ Ball must find ways of trimming costs and shedding cap space over the next month or so.
One option at their disposal: cutting veteran players that could immediately create big chunks of cap space. Turning useful players into cap casualties will be seen as a last resort option, but in some cases, the option will be unavoidable as the Packers attempt to put all the financial puzzle pieces together this offseason.
