I have always contended that in a hard-cap league, surplus value is the best way to assess a team. So here is my first real attempt to assign surplus value numbers to the roster. It is fraught with difficulties. The general method is this: if the team had known back in March what it knows now about how a player would actually produce, what would the team pay that player? I call that worth or value. I have looked at each players’ statistics and considered their general play over Green Bay’s first eight games. I have compared each player’s worth to the player's cap hit to get surplus value, which sometimes is a negative number.
