5 Packers who could be sleeper salary cap casualties this offseason

With the Green Bay Packers inching closer to having to make very difficult salary-cap decisions, we are going wild trying to come up with creative ideas for them to keep as much talent on the roster as possible. Unfortunately, it may not be possible to avoid cutting any talented player who could help them win next season.

The front office assuredly has a plan mapped out for how they’ll get under the salary cap and it will become apparent as time goes on. Until then, let’s check out five under-the-radar candidates who could be cut as the Packers desperately try to get under the salary cap.

These five members of the Green Bay Packers could be under the radar candidates to become salary cap casualties this offseason.

Packers who could be sleeper salary cap casualties: Ty Summers

Cap Number: $989,476

Dead Money: $24,476

Cap Savings: $965,000

Saving $965,000 might not seem significant, but every little bit counts. Ty Summers only played 27 snaps on defense last season and doesn’t appear any closer to making an impact in that phase. His main contributions came on special teams where he was on just about every unit. Even if his PFF grade was solid, he’s certainly replaceable if they can find a guy later in the draft whose contract is even cheaper than his.
