NFL Business - THE SALARY CAP!

What makes the NFL so successful?  Many things!

Football!

Players!

Tradition!!

Playing once a week - BUILDS anticipation!!!

Only 16 games - EVERY game is important!

And, ……………………

The business of football - the NFL!

Lately, the NFL has taken a lot of hits, most by players & their of the field stupidity!  And how the NFL has handled it!  In this politically correct world, players union, and owners the juggling is very difficult!  But one great thing, I think is the "Salary Cap"

The "Salary Cap" seems to keep the talent on an equal playing field.  But, the general manager & coach are the artists that create the masterpiece!  The Patriots & Packers have the longest playoff run - 6 years in a row!  Other organizations are also building on success lately - Seahawks, Ravens, 49ers, , Steelers have had success.  The Packers combination of Ted Thompson & Mike McCarthy have had success with a draft, develop, & sprinkle in a few free agents.

The latest team caps are below:

So, as the list shows, the Pack is in good shape!  Some where around $33,000,000.  So, to make it simple I saw sign:

Randall Cobb - 9,000,000
Brain Bulaga - 8,000,000
Devon House - 2,000,000
Scott Tolzein - 1,500,000
BJ Raji - 2, 500,000

If possible add,
John Kuhn - 1,000,000
Letroy Guion - 2,000,000
Don Barclay - 1,000,000

That leaves about 6,000,000.  Plus, may be able to restructure the following players:
Top 3 players

Aaron - 18, 250,000
Clay - 12,700,000
Julius - 12,000,000

With a little magic, maybe we can re-work, spread out, offer incentives, what ever - 4-5 million!!

Let the fun begin!!
