GREEN BAY, Wis. – Russ Ball might have the hardest job in the NFL this offseason.
His title with the Green Bay Packers is executive vice president/director of football operations. That loosely translates to miracle worker given that he is largely responsible for managing the team’s salary cap.
The Packers are currently $48,910,955 over their projected cap for the 2022 season, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Nine teams are over the cap, but only the New Orleans Saints are worse off at $74,174,019 over their cap.
