Who can tell me exactly how much cap space the Green Bay Packers have? Beuller?

According to an initial report by Tom Silverstein of Packersnews.com, the Packers have less than $5 million in cap space available after cap charges which weren’t previously calculated. That could be a pretty big problem for Green Bay going into the regular season.

The Packers had about $13.5 million in cap space after signing Geronimo Allison and Mercedes Lewis. The team normally likes to leave room for unexpected transactions, like injuries and mid-season contract extensions.

Through the power of fuzzy math, that $13.5 million was whittled down after you take out about $8 million for cap flexibility.  Which is kind of an important thing to understand.

In an update to his original report, Silverstein noted that the Packers have around $13 million in cap space, not the $5 million he initially reported – the difference being the money usually set aside for unexpected transactions.

So now we know – the Green Bay Packers have around $13 million in cap space.  Also, they still suck.
