NFL Free Agency: Cap Casualty Tracker
· Yahoo Sports
I doubt the Green Bay Packers will spend much on compensatory free agents this year, because of the picks they’re due to receive if their top players walk. On paper, the Packers are incentivized by the league’s structure to limit their compensatory free agent action to up to two $5 million-ish or cheaper players (priced as backups), and that’s if absolutely everyone walks (if any of the team’s top six unrestricted free agents re-signs with the club, that count would drop by one, for example). If you’d like to read more about that, check out the long piece I wrote about Green Bay’s compensatory pick situation.

With that said, there’s no pressure on the team (outside of the cap situation) to stay out of the cap casualty (or trade) market, since these players do not impact the compensatory pick formula. Look for the Packers to work around the NFL’s parity system this offseason in free agency (for any fault you might have with general manager Brian Gutekunst, he’s done a very good job of manipulating the compensatory pick formula, which we described in our previous piece).
So, who are these work-around free agents? Below is the full list of players (who took at least one snap in 2025) who have been waived or released by teams since the postseason and are available on the street right now. We’ll keep this list updated as more news breaks throughout the free agent cycle.
This list doesn’t include “players expected to be released,” just players who are actually available right here and right now. When those cuts are official and the players are actually made available, this list will update.
