🔴 LIVE MOCK DRAFT: Packers FULL Salary Cap Breakdown! 🔴

Green Bay Packers 2026 salary cap news January 31, 2026: Jordan Love and Micah Parsons contract impact, Rashan Gary and Elgton Jenkins cut rumors, 7-round mock draft strategy, and latest Packers news today.

Packer Nation, it’s time to face the music and the math! As of Saturday, January 31, 2026, the NFL has officially projected the 2026 salary cap to skyrocket to a record $301.2M - $305.7M. While that sounds like a windfall, the Green Bay Packers are facing a financial "Cap Hell" that is even colder than the frozen tundra. With the high-priced extensions for Matt LaFleur, Brian Gutekunst, and Russ Ball now finalized, the front office must turn its attention to a staggering $16.9M deficit that swells to over $33M once you factor in rookie pool and practice squad costs.

In this LIVE session, we are conducting a "Salary Cap Mock Draft." We aren't just picking players; we are making the "Axe" decisions required to fit them on the roster. We break down the "Big Three" Cap Casualties: Is this the end for Rashan Gary? After a sack-less final nine games in 2025 and a massive $28M cap hit, we analyze how releasing him could save $10.98M. We also look at Elgton Jenkins, whose move to center was hampered by a fractured fibula; moving on from the veteran could clear a whopping $19.5M. We dive into the "Micah Parsons Math"—how the superstar's $186M extension and current ACL rehab impact the 2026 budget, and whether claiming Trevon Diggs was a one-week rental or a long-term plan.

How does Russ Ball navigate Jordan Love’s $36.1M cap hit while keeping weapons like Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson in the fold? We run through a full 7-Round Mock Draft starting at Pick #52 (since we don't have a 1st rounder), targeting cap-friendly replacements like Oregon Guard Emmanuel Pregnon and Georgia Corner Daylen Everette. It’s a game of roster Tetris with Super Bowl stakes!

Packers Staff & Player Injury History:

Micah Parsons (LB): Currently in the early stages of recovery from a season-ending ACL tear suffered in Week 15 (Dec 14, 2025); the front office is monitoring his 2026 availability closely.

Elgton Jenkins (C/G): Suffered a broken fibula in Week 10 against the Eagles, ending his 2025 season; his age (30) and medical history are major factors in his potential release.

Rashan Gary (ED): Finished 2025 healthy but struggled significantly with production (zero sacks in his final nine games) after a hot start.

Zach Tom (RT): Undergoing offseason knee surgery; the team is weighing a restructure of his deal to save $3.1M.

Jordan Love (QB): Fully healthy and ready for 2026 after a minor rib bruise in November 2025 did not result in missed time.
