According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Rodgers’ cap number this season will drop to $28.5 million, down from $46.7 million. The total savings is almost $18.2 million.
In one big move, the Packers have all but cured themselves of their remaining cap issues. The team came into Tuesday needing to trim roughly $21.8 million off the cap.
