Four Contracts Void, Adding to Packers’ Cap Woes
“Last offseason, Green Bay Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst and his right-hand man, Russ Ball, inserted void years into the contracts of four contracts to help the team deal with a challenging salary cap. At 3 p.m. Monday, all those contracts officially voided. From a personnel perspective, it means,” reports Bill Huber in Fan Nation.
“All-Pro inside linebacker De’Vondre Campbell signed a one-year, $2 million contract in June that turned out to be the biggest bargain in the NFL. It included a minimum base salary and a $1.01 million signing bonus that was prorated over five years with the addition of four void years. With his contract voided, the remaining $808,000.”
