2021 Salary Cap

The big jump in the 2021 cap allocation is AR12 (+15M).  Kenny Clark's cap allocation jumps big in 2022 (+13.5M).  Davante Adams is a FA in 2022.  Biggest targets for restructure/cut in 2021:

* Preston Smith (save 8M, leaves 8M in dead cap),  Christian Kirksey (save 6M, leaves 2M in dead cap),  Rick Wagner (save 4.2 M, leaves 1.8M in dead cap), and Dean Lowry (save 3.3M, leaves 3M in dead cap).

For reference, this does not count Aaron Jones, Corey Linsley, Kevin King, Jamaal Williams, or Tyler Lancaster whom are all free agents.

They would save 5 million by trading Rodgers (36 million if he's on the team and 31 million in dead cap if he's not). I hope this isn't the plan, but the fact that it's even in my mind is amazing.

D. Adams is looking at one of the biggest WR contract in history in 2022. If they let him go, we'd be looking at Jordan Love throwing to MVS, ESB, Lazard, and some young WRs. That scenario would make the late 70s/early 80s look good in comparison.
