Green Bay Packers Cap Space, Draft Picks, and NFL Free Agency

It is officially the NFL offseason, as all 32 teams attempt to figure out how they can win Super Bowl 58.

Green Bay Packers Cap Space

The 2023 Green Bay Packers cap space was taken from OverTheCap on Feb. 17. The total base 2023 NFL salary cap space is $224.8M.

Heading into the 2023 NFL offseason, the Green Bay Packers' cap space sits at $4,665,743 over the cap, currently. This ranks in the bottom half of the NFL.

While this looks bad, the reality is that Green Bay has plenty of flexibility. Aaron Jones just restructured his contract and took a pay cut to free up some space, and David Bakhtiari is likely next. If Aaron Rodgers returns to the team, he already said he will restructure his contract to free up space. Of course, if Green Bay trades away Rodgers, the team won't have anything to play for this season anyways.
