If Favre returns, Packers have the cap room
Published 7/7/2008 at ESPN.com - NFL Nation - Blog
Posted by ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert While no one knows how the Brett Favre story will play out, one thing is certain: The Green Bay Packers have more than enough salary cap space to take him back. The Packers have a little more than $32 million in cap room, second-most in the NFL. Only the Kansas City Chiefs, with $36 million, have more. If he returns to the Packers, Favre's $12 million base salary would be added to the $800,000 in pro-rated bonus money, giving him a $12.8 million cap number. In reality, however, the Packers already count $1.6 million in "dead money" against their cap to account for Favre's ...
