Green Bay Packers' 2007 "Unofficial" Salary Cap

January 2007 Cap
 'rule-of 51' is in effect...

Saturday, February 17: 

In my previous update, I had the following differences with MJSO: -262,287 on Nick Barnett; -40,000 for Marquand Manuel; -97,500 for Colledge; and -100,000 for Henderson.  I added those amounts to each player's cap value as LTBE incentives as of ~9 Feb but did not send out an updated cap page.

As of 9 Feb 2007, John Clayton listed the Packers at $24.1m under the 2007 salary cap...my projection at that time was $26,597,285.  Additionally, as of 12 Feb, TheRedZone shows the Packers expended $84,900,000 on the 2007 cap and I had them at $82,902,715.  Therefore, I have a +1,997,285 discrepancy which I cannot resolve on an individual player basis unless I make the following two assumptions:

  1. Apply the ERFA tenders to the 2007 cap
  2. Apply the "Deion Charge" to AJ Hawk's cap value

Bottom Line: I'm synchronizing with Clayton's number and will adjust my individual player cap WAGs as necessary...

Adam JT13 recently provided 'carry-forward' loophole numbers for teams that used the practice in December 2006.  The Packers had $500k (Noah Herron) that will carry forward to 2007.  I'm presuming Clayton did not factor that into his $24.1m figure.

Originally, I projected the Packers with ~$2.5m available cap at the end-of-2006 but since found out Bubba's cap number was $1m higher than I had and Charles Woodson earned an additional ~$540k.  Bottom line:  They used almost all of their available cap space in 2006 and apparently only were able to use the 'carry-forward' loophole on Herron.
