Another trade

Express receive:
FB Toby Gerhart (87 overall, 30 years old)

Packers receive:
WR Martavis Bryant (78 overall, 23 years old)
HB Tavian Radetsky (76 overall, 24 years old)

Express incur a roughly $1 mil cap penalty to turn a roughly $5 mil cap hit into a $1.63 mil one

Packers incur an $860k cap penalty to turn a $2.06 mil cap hit into $4.08 mil in cap hits

The Express were one of 12 teams to lose their starting FB to retirement with few quality players to replace them. Bryant and Radetsky might be very young, but they were seldom used backups with no realistic opportunity for larger roles in Portland, and the relative cheap contracts they were under weren't needed for an Express team with plenty of cap space.

The Packers liked Gerhart, but they used their top draft pick on a FB, and they need HBs and WRs in a bad way with limited cap. Even though they lost cap space, they plugged two holes at a bargain rate as they look to work around the cap to fill their remaining holes and presumably sign more rookies.

Packers understood the trade parameters, the financial impact, and the past history of Radestsky and Bryant. This trade is now official.
