Adrian Amos, Mason Crosby, Dean Lowry, Mercedes Lewis, Jarran Reed, Randall Cobb and Robert Tonyan all have contracts that were voided by Monday’s end. There’s a total dead cap hit of $16,396,543 next season because of these contracts.
Why did this happen? Firstly, this is one of the several consequences that will come because of restructuring contracts to add money to future years. From 2019-2021, the Packers had a legitimate Super Bowl window. They structured contracts to be cheaper for this championship opportunity, but following Aaron Rodgers’ two-straight NFL MVPs, obviously, Green Bay failed to capture another Lombardi trophy.
