With impressive draft capital and an improving salary cap situation, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst will have added flexibility this offseason when it comes to adding to the roster.
Cap-wise, the Packers aren’t in a great position by any means, but it is much improved compared to last offseason with Aaron Rodgers’ contract now completely off the books.
Over the Cap currently projects that the Packers are $2.8 million over the projected 2024 salary cap. According to Ken Ingalls, who independently tracks the Packers salary cap situation, the team will need to create roughly $30 million in additional cap space to cover normal operating expenses, such as signing the draft class, forming the practice squad, along with having in-season reserves available, among other expenses.
