There are a lot of factors potentially complicating trade talks between the Green Bay Packers and the New York Jets. One of which could be how each team wants to handle the $59.5 million guaranteed salary that Aaron Rodgers is owed in 2023.
For the Packers, they find themselves low on cap space once again. Currently, Over the Cap has them projected to have $24.16 million in available space – although the recent free-agent signings are not accounted for yet. Then once Rodgers is traded, his $31.6 million cap hit will jump to $40.3 million in dead cap, reducing the Packers’ cap space down to roughly $15.4 million.
