The Facts: With the salary cap crunch of 2021 upon us, expect numerous veteran players to take haircuts to their contract to stick with their current clubs. One such move came down Tuesday morning. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Funchess took a roughly $750,000 pay cut to stay in Green Bay, per a source informed of the situation.

Diehards Line: Funchess had opted out of the 2020 season after signing a one-year contract with the Packers. Funchess signed a one-year, $2.5 million contract in Green Bay, which could have pushed to $3.75M with performance incentives. After the wideout opted out of the COVID-19 season, his contract tolled to 2021. Taking a pay cut keeps him on the club as we head toward the new league year. The wideout was expected to help answer the question: "Who is going to help opposite Davante Adams?" When he opted out, that option was wiped away. The Packers famously didn't draft a receiver, rolling with Allen Lazard, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown alongside Adams during last season's 13-3 campaign. With the opt-out last year, Funchess hasn't seen the field since Sept. 18, 2019. The pay cut keeps him in Green Bay, but he'll still have to earn a role to make the final roster.
