The Green Bay Packers have their work cut out for them this offseason. Specifically, Russ Ball has his work cut out — the Packers have a glut of 23 players on their roster whose contracts expire at the start of the 2022 league year and will therefore be eligible for some form of free agency, and a number of them played significant roles for this team in 2021.
Adding to the complexity of the issue is the fact that the Packers have to clear around $50 million off their 2022 salary cap before the league year begins just to get under the cap — let alone to make room for any of these players.
