I started watching football since the play offs last year,(I’m from Portugal)so I really was not here when the packers decided to draft jordan love instead of a guy to help us winning right away, but don’t you all agree that, as a small market that Green Bay is ,we need to stay competitive every year? Or at least try? I really can understand the pick back then because we knew Rodgers was not going to last forever so they were projecting the future instead of having to draft a guy now and possibly be a bad team in the next years. Thanks guys, go pack go
It was because he didn’t want to bring anyone in. The Packers don’t use the salary cap as their operating budget, nor does any other team in the NFL.
But you were right, cash over cap is a thing that some owners like to use to pay more guys and avoid limiting themselves.
