2018 Green Bay Packers Training Camp: Rodgers Extension Reportedly Done

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

They have the money available to go out and get anyone they want, but they aren't going to be crazy/stupid about it. The deals are going to be at their price. If you look at the huge dollars being thrown around today, it is from either from mismanaged teams (Bears) or desperate teams (Vikings).

$20mil for Sam Bradford. What a time to be alive.

It's like the Cardinals brass put their heads together and asked, "Why can we sign that is the most like Carson Palmer?"

 

Blaine Gabbert will be starting again by Week 3.

I really don't see an issue with them grabbing Bradford. They will most likely draft a QB and this allows them not to toss that QB in the fire right away. They will hope for some good health and if they do, they'll have a pretty good QB. If it doesn't work out, it's a 1-year deal and they flush it for the next season.

The Cardinals have pick #15. They will have to vault a few teams to get up high enough to get one of the big 4 QBs (Rosen, D'arnold, Allen, Mayfield).

Packers talking with Jimmy Graham today. Gonna cost big $$$ though. Looking at Ed Dickson as a fallback. Personally, I'm not real excited about either. I'd rather take a chance on a cheap deal with Eifert.

Didn’t say it was, just how crazy the price a competent QB garners even in a flooded QB market.

[pacopete4]

Ed Dickson? We might as well go with what we have if that is our fallback.

Agreed. Dickson and Lance Kendricks are pretty much the same guy.

[BillScottCanRake]

Per Adam Schefter, Jordy Nelson is being released.

 

EDIT: Auto correct can be brutal!

Agreed. This is the one guy I hoped wed stay away from. Guess it'll be cheer for JG time the next few years. At least they swooped in on someone they liked. (I like the idea of JG, but the age 25-27 version, not the old torn legs up version).

[Fear The Chorizo]

basically trading one past his prime perimeter pass catcher for another by cutting Jordy and signing Graham - however the Packers always seem to keep 18 wideouts on their roster and have really struggled to find consistent TE play. I always thought Graham was a terrible fit for what Seattle wanted to do offensively - Brees and Payton made him the star he was by playing towards his stengths as a matchup nightmare with a QB that could dissect a defense and innovative formations that put him at the advantage when the ball was snapped.

 

Here's hoping Rodgers & company found a guy who I feel is a better player now than Cook was 2 seasons ago.

[Brewer Fever]

Hey look they did something. And before free agency even started no less. Are the impatient, spoiled children happy now? My goodness, so many conclusions drawn before the new guy could even get comfortable in the chair.

[FVBrewerFan]

Now go get Wilkerson and one of the CBs out there, then find a WR with speed via trade or in the draft. That doesn't fill all the holes, but on the right track.

[PeaveyFury]

Ian Rapoport says they’re trying to re-work Cobb’s deal as well.

[FVBrewerFan]

Fully expect Jordy to be signed by someone in the division

[patrickgpe]

while they got their TE, it would appear they have lost out on all of the top CB's: Johnson signing with Jets, Butler to Ten. I hoped that the Packers would be able to sign one once they traded Randall.

[pacopete4]

What are the odds Nelson comes back on a better deal for the Pack? Can’t believe he would want to end the way he did or go elsewhere.

Zero. They wouldn't have cut him if they wanted him to come back. Also they wouldn't issue a press release wishing him well in his future endeavours if they planned on signing him for a lesser deal.

[pacopete4]

The #Packers have agreed to a one-year deal with free agent DE Mo Wilkerson, a source said.

 

Good signing. Make him earn some money.

[homer]

This is why it pays to wait until all the FA's are signed before writing off an off-season.

[patrickgpe]

I agree, the packers know their window in small, to get a motivated wilkerson should be just what the doctor ordered. If the packers want to pay him next off season, they can worry about that next year.

I wish some brewer fans on this board would listen to this

[MrTPlush]

So now everyone is going to get excited because we signed this years Bennett and a DL? Yup, so much more different.

 

And this is coming from someone who wasn't complaining about them not doing anything jus so that is straight.

[PeaveyFury]

$5 mil for Wilkerson, with $3 mil in incentives. Nice deal.
