Green Bay (OnFocus) – The NFL Salary Cap figures show most NFL teams are over the salary cap. Some teams, including the Green Bay Packers, are well over the cap. Aaron Rodgers’ contract status and the final year of Davante Adams’ contract are the two key contract matters that the Packers are trying to navigate this off-season, and each impacts the team’s salary cap situation tremendously.
Rodgers’ salary cap number for 2021-22? over $37 million, nearly 20% of the team’s salary cap.
Right behind is Adams, whose salary cap number for the upcoming season is $16.7 million, 9% of the team’s cap.
Each player’s contract could be restructured and extended, significantly lowering the impact on this year’s salary limit.
The Packers come in at $20.6 million OVER the salary cap for the 2021-22 year.
A look at the six teams who are dealing with the worst salary cap numbers:
#27 Green Bay, $20.6 million
#28 Buffalo, $21.5 million
#29 New York Giants, $21.8 million
#30 Seattle, $22.6 million
#31 Chicago, $24.5 million
