I don't think he's any good, really. But a one-year Walmart contract is pretty much a dream for Minnesota. No commitment, an upgrade at the position, and if it goes well they will extend him during the season. I'm hoping he doesn't faceplant and does just enough to get them to commit to a bigger deal and be stuck with him for a bit, because I don't think he's a real answer, but he's good enough to keep them in purgatory.

He's been injured so much that I'm not sure he'll get any kind of monster deal from anyone. But if you don't, good luck getting somebody better for less. Nobody on this roster does what Watson does. I would definitely try and extend him during next season if he's playing well. Three years for $75m. With his injury history he'd have every reason to say yes.

I really don't agree that this is a brutal offseason. They are shedding a bunch of meh that hometown fans tend to overvalue as they do in every city. Mediocre guys get hyped up by the club's socials and every "he's a gamer" line gets amplified. There are scores of guys who I was constantly told were so important even though it seemed they never did anything, then they leave and you never hear from them again. Nobody they've lost was that big of a deal, hell I'd say Willis is huge as he won games every year he was here. I would have liked to see where Enagbare's future here went, but even he was already 26 and probably at the ceiling. Doubs was a solid WR but no way he was getting paid with the cheap options they have on the roster. They have shored up the DL a little, the CBs are bad but they were getting by on it until Parsons and Wyatt went down and they added another pass rusher. I think it's kinda clear the Packers plan on defense is to get to the QB and just don't get gutted by the run. Their success hinges on those guys being healthy, not the mediocre CBs shining. Biggest concern to me is the OL. It's not good and it's thin. I wouldn't have any objections to them using 2 of their first 3 picks on OL. Outside concern to me that I don't hear much about is RB. Loved Wilson but he is gone now, Brooks has to take a bigger role and Jacobs looked awfully washed at points last season but then toward the end looked like he might have just been hurt. Lloyd seems like a prayer at this point.
-
NBA sure has changed a bit. I would have thought it was unthinkable to have Giannis and not make the playoffs in the East. I don't think it would have mattered if he'd never been hurt. They wouldn't be there anyway. They are quite possibly the worst positioned team in the NBA right now.
-
He's been released twice because of money, not performance. He was really good for SF then got hurt and became an obvious release. Minnesota signed him to shore up what they thought was a contending team. He played well but it does not make sense for them to pay him. 33-year-old linemen are tough to get excited about on either side of the ball but that is what the Packers will be able to squeeze onto their books. Can't possibly be worse than our interior DL last season. I'm assuming he's a rotational pass rusher in GB. They really need Wyatt to stay healthy.
-
I won't give them this much credit, but it could be the wildest 4D Chess of all time. Agree to something knowing you will back out when the physical confirms what you already know. Mess up everyone else's FA by having them think he is off the board and tie up resources elsewhere.
-
Hey, at least we won't have to watch our first rounder barely play this season.
-
Yeah, similar thoughts. The Bears seem to be on the right path. That's the kind of thing that would throw it off the rails.
-
Honestly would be a huge relief to just have someone catch the ball and have spatial awareness.
-
Kinda hope the Bears get him if that's what it takes?
-
This is the one I knew was coming but am not sure what to make of it. I waffle between just being a homer and thinking Doubs was a pretty good player, and accepting that he was just a serviceable WR. He made some incredible catches but the volume just was never there to call him a real difference maker. He did seem to be the guy Love would go to in a big moment. I think Golden made it obvious this was coming and that he and Watson are the clear 1-2, but there are obviously health questions there and with Reed as well. Those 3 + Wicks and Williams there was no way he was coming back.
-
Of course it was terrible but it was for a single year. If you are going to blow it, do it that way. The original contract was 4 years for $48 million. The truly mystifying thing is why they didn't just bring Stokes back for $3.5 million.
-
And that's why neither his deal nor Banks's were really that bad. A lot was made of the numbers, but both were essentially one-year deals where the Packers gained a lot by keeping them on. They were low risk moves that brought in guys who might have helped last year. They both stunk, but it is a swing and miss with no real harm down the road. I just laughed every time someone called it an overpay. I would say they can cut Banks too, but I'm not sure they can even afford to lose him, unfortunately.

Bo Melton has to have nudes of MLF.
-
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.
