As a unit, I don't think the D-line is horrible, but they aren't anything that excites me to the point where I think they are close to set at either. I think Aaronstory has it right on the DTs. A game breaking, top talent do-all kind of DT would really be a huge addition. If by the grace of Saint Vincent, Branch or Okoye should fall to #16 it would be a no brainer, but that extremely unlikely to happen. The next tier DTs don't excite me a whole lot, but Brandon Mcbane or Ryan McBean could be interesting prospects. Getting a big mammoth DT/NT that could really fill some running lanes could also be nice.
Jenkins was almost a dream come true at the end of the year. I know I said a few times last year around that I felt DE was a big need. Mostly because I didn't think KGB was worth a damn being on the field every down and trying to stop the run. Jenkins gives KGB the much needed rest and ability to get him back to doing what he does best (and only good at), rush the passer. And with Kampman on the other side, I think their starting unit is a lot to be happy about. God I love Kampman. They could really use some depth though. If KGB can't get back to his double digit sack totals, I could see Green Bay cutting him loose.
KGB still has around $4.7M in pro-rated signing bonus that I believe would all come due now if he were cut. That won't happen, but next year his pro-rated signing bonus will be around around $3.1M, which would still be a big hit, but his base salary also increases to $6.15M. Here is his base salary, pro-rated signing bonus and total cap hit for the remainder of his contract, plus an estimated cap hit if he were cut before that season.
2007
Base salary = $5,000,000
Signing Bonus = $1,571,429
Total cap hit of $6,571,429
Cap hit if cut = $4,714,287
2008
Base salary = $6,150,000
Signing Bonus = $1,571,429
Total cap hit of $7,721,429
Cap hit if cut = $3,142,858
2009
Base salary = $7,300,000
Signing Bonus = $1,571,429
Total cap hit of $8,871,419
Cap hit if cut = $1,571,429
This will be an important year for KGB's future in Green Bay. Another 6 or 7 sack season could possibly send him packing. As long as Kampman and Jenkins stay healthy so KGB can go back to being a pass rush specialist, I see no reason why he can't get back up into the 10+ sack range. If he can keep that up I could see him live out the remainder of his current contract, but he'll also turn 30 this year and it will be his 8th season so I'm not going to say anything is certain.
