I won't pretend to know anything about the guy, but I would just like to point out that the PFF 11th ranked CB from last season just got a 2-year deal with a $5 AAV. It's time for PFF rankings to go away. The signing is fine. They need a veteran at CB. He has been healthy almost his entire career. Those are good things. He doesn't make big plays, but he wouldn't be $5mm if he did. It's fine.

Draft picks are so overvalued, it's comical. The concept makes sense, you want the asset that lets you acquire talent cheaply for 3 years. However the Packers draft guys who don't play for 2 of those years or just never amount to much. When teams gauge the value of draft picks it seems to go completely out the window that most of them do nothing in the league. And exchanging that asset for a known commodity that has shown he can actually play doesn't seem to have any value. You'd have been 100% better with Logan Wilson at the time Ty'Ron Hopper was drafted. There should be much more willingness to trade those kinds of picks for players, for teams on the cusp of titles, if you're taking reach players like that who amount to nothing. And yes, I understand you can't predict the future, but the picks are treated like a sure thing that they aren't. And again, yes, I understand it's potential-based. But IMO the high probability of failure is just cast aside in an illogical way.

Walker is another one I couldn't care less about losing...but not sure how it makes them better. Pretty awful 1st round pick when they don't make it to a 2nd contract...the athleticism just never seemed to align with playmaking. They needed these guys to be stars and they were just...well, guys. Enagbare is the only guy I wish they could have kept for the right price.

I really wish I knew what Gary did on this play:
-
I guess Micah Parsons should have sacked quarterbacks he didn't play against. That would have been really impressive. I mean this is truly wild gymnastics to make Gary sound like a good player. Parsons impacted the game on every snap. Anyone watching saw it. He didn't need to stockpile sacks, even though he did plenty of that. You never knew Gary was on the field. I'm done with the PFF crap, but even that stuff shows the galaxy between those two. Parsons is their 2nd highest rated pass rusher, contrasted with Gary ranking 40th and 56th and 49th in productivity, win rate and pressure rate.
-
At the time of signing his contract it placed him 5th-10th in the NFL at his position depending on how you want to interpret the cap gymnastics. For that money you better do more than sack the same 3 stiffs half a dozen times. And again, if anyone looks at his actual sacks, at least half are a stiff running away from Parsons and into him. Cherry-picked PFF baloney doesn't change that this guy was a Temu KGB last year. Gary was a bust. Not a draft bust, bust a bust on his extension, 100%.
-
Not exactly what you're looking for but Randy Moss was traded to New England for a 4th. He had two years remaining on the deal and a condition of the trade was scrapping for a one-year deal which they did. That's what I'm referring to. If there were a malcontent CB out there with a lot of talent that perhaps had been putting together mediocre seasons in Oakland, I would happily lose a 3rd to take that chance - if we are actually serious about this being a championship team. IIRC, Moss would have gone to GB but they were unwilling to do the 3rd.
-
Count me in the minority of fans that couldn't care less about sacrificing a 3rd round pick for a stop gap that contributes meaningfully for a season. I would happily give up a 3rd for a 1-year CB that resembles an NFL player, for example. I would agree if we were the Jets or something. Not if we are serious about "contending for championships." This is unlikely to be a plausible scenario for the reasons you point out though. If there were someone on the market that fit the profile but had reasons to only sign a 1 year deal, I'd be interested.
-
Same. I wish it wasn't with that hot mess of a franchise but I suppose any starting QB vacancy is going to be for a hot mess. At least Miami is a nice place to be.
-
Yes, he was absolutely terrible and at the age where they start getting worse, not better. He will probably have a year or two of better than last season simply because he was unbelievably awful, but they signed him as an ascending player they believed would anchor their pass rush and he got worse and lazier immediately. I don't think anyone rational ever believed he was a top pass rusher, but I hope seeing Parsons up close shows everyone the difference between an impact rusher and an average one - which Gary can't even claim to be last year.
-
I'm pretty whatever on the whole thing. Gary can go, 4th is better than nothing for the guy. I am just seeing too many holes on this team in too many big spots. Shaken confidence in anyone making FGs, major depth/performance problems on both lines. Depending on a lot of key guys coming back from major injuries. Granted it's March but they are not in a very flexible position. They should be too good to win fewer than 10 games, but it almost has the feel of one of those years where the bottom falls out and they end up resetting in 2027. Sort of like the 2022 season where they end up being a lot worse than it seems.

Wisconsin Basketball 2025-26

Even so, it seems absurd they're unranked. They have to at least be 20-25. You can't tell me any of the teams there are better. -
Pretty hard to hate the addition of Franklin when Walker is as good as gone. Solid reliable veteran player. The Packers have a real depth problem on their lines though.
-
That's a fair take, ok, sure, he doesn't suck as much as LVN but he I couldn't care any less about seeing him elsewhere. I would not say that just getting paid less makes him a cap casualty since it is a bit more nuanced than that a lot of these salary numbers are just accounting magic that these teams know they're never going to pay. He'll end up somewhere, yeah. But he has sucked butt since signing his big deal, they paid him like a top dozen or so rusher and he ain't it. At best, he was an above average pass rusher. I do hope he is getting cut. At least it would signify this org moving on from a mediocre player instead of just keeping him around forever because he's makes them feel safe.
-
I guess we'll see but signing with his height and weight seemed super strange
-
The Pro Bowl 😂 😂 😂 Again - tell me what he did in his last 10 games. Not where he finished ranked after picking up Parsons's scraps. Tell me what he did when Parsons was hurt. When he was the best pass rusher on the field, like he was paid to be, like he was on August 15th before Parsons fell into their lap. But who judged his career anyway? He sucks today. Now. That's why this is even a topic. And don't say "cap casualty," because any club is keeping him at his price if he's any good as an edge.
-
If only sacks from 5 years ago mattered today. Look at last year's sacks. About 5 of them are because someone is running away from Parsons and into Gary's lollygagging arms. He was Houdini once Parsons got hurt, and about 4 weeks before that too. He 100% sucked last season. Historically. 0 sacks, 0 hurries, 0 TFLs is in his final 10 games. That's incomprehensible and LVN has been another gem. Though admittedly he's a different level of suck completely.
-
Gary sucks and it is hysterical watching the Reddit sub celebrate his release after YEARS of listening to it talk itself into this guy being some premier pass rusher. It is as if they never thought he was any good if you were show up today. This was obviously going to happen, but my goodness what a mess of first round picks this team has for the most part. It's a total dead horse at this point but I can't believe this brass got extensions. I don't remember a time being less excited for the upcoming season. Not that I think they're going to be 4-13 or something, but they are looking every bit the part of a 41-41 NBA team.
-
The Packers would legitimately upgrade their special teams by simply doing the following: -Fair catch every punt, and tell everyone not to hold because it's being fair caught. -If Whelan isn't trying to Coffin punt, hang it up and force a fair catch. That's it. Concede that we will never have a good return, which we don't anyway, and just eliminate the comedy of errors that our unit is completely, and things get better.

Brewers Sign Luis Rengifo to 1yr Deal
OldSchoolSnapper replied to Jastro's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
His glove isn't anywhere near the level where it mitigates what he is on offense, one of those blowy Gumby things that are always outside car dealerships. -
Brewers Sign Luis Rengifo to 1yr Deal
OldSchoolSnapper replied to Jastro's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I'm thoroughly whelmed. -
The wrestler in me liked Durbin a lot. Very likeable hustle player but I think he probably had the best year of his career last year. Siegler meh. Liked Mysterio for what he was. Can we please do something about Joey Ortiz though?
-
I don't disagree that it can't possibly hurt them, I'm just nearly certain it isn't going to do anything.
-
5/5 on field goals and a punter that has pinned them over and over again.
-
It's because he isn't good. Relationship soured with the Nets and he had become a pain in the ass. He's just a shot chucker. He can score some points with Giannis out but he isn't going to solve any problems. This team is the definition of throwing doo doo at the wall until something sticks.
