It would literally cost the Packers more against the cap if he was traded then if they dig their heels in. Of course one option is a re-structure/re-sign and THEN trade which seems like it is the only option.

That doesn't really matter so much. Per OverTheCap, if they trade him this year, they save $5.6M against this year's cap (which they can roll over to next year) and about $23M against the cap next year. If they wait until next year to trade him, they "only" save about $15.8M next year. They're currently projected at about $8M over the cap for next year, so the time to trade him would be now
If they choose not to trade him, he could be a total dick and just retire after June 1st, which would have the same cap implications for next year as trading him next year would.
