The Green Bay Packers did not use void years on David Bakhtiari’s contract restructure and will save a little less on the salary cap in 2022 than originally believed.
According to Ken Ingalls, who studies the salary cap, the Packers did not add on two void years to Bakhtiari’s deal during the recent restructure, which lowers the overall cap savings for the Packers on the restructure from the full $9,264,000 to $7,710,000 in 2022.
The result is a loss of savings of $1,554,000 on the cap this season. Every dollar counts when a team like the Packers is attempt to shed cap commitments and get below the 2022 cap before March 16.
