    So many who are comparing Rodgers/Love to Favre/Rodgers fail to remember that Rodgers actually sat for THREE years, and didn't really show franchise QB potential until his 3rd season. If the Packers choose to hang on to Love, we could very well have a very different perspective on this at this time next year.

    Adams has officially been franchised. Egg on the face of a few that were adamant that it wouldn't happen due to cap constraints.

    People said the same thing about the Rams 3-4 years ago. They did? I don't recall this at all. I always thought the Rams under McVay had a bright future and some young talent, just needed a QB which they now have. But I could be remembering wrong. Watch the Packers trade Love and take a QB in the first this year, lol. That was a narrative for sure when they signed Gurley to that huge deal. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2876758-rams-bears-jaguars-and-other-nfl-teams-that-find-themselves-in-salary-cap-hell

    Might as well just hang onto him this season then. No use trading your young backup QB if that's all you'd get back.

    From the source himself: Aaron Rodgers @AaronRodgers12 10s Hey everyone, just wanted to clear some things up; YES I will be playing with the @packers next year, however, reports about me signing a contract are inaccurate, as are the supposed terms of the contract I “signed”. I’m very excited to be back #year18

    My guess is very similar. It'll be a package that is debated among Packer fans for years. Will all be water under the bridge if Rodgers gets a SB win in the next few years. I was good either way, keep him or trade him. Just didn't want to see him retire and lose him and whatever compensation a trade would have brought. I think the draft picks are spot on, the players being exchanged might have differed a bit. Harris and Fant would have made sense for what the Packers like to do. Not real sure on Lock, unless the Packers would have wanted to give Love some competition. Jeudy wouldn't have surprised me instead of Fant.

    My guess is a 2nd round pick. Not even close at best 3rd round pick and realistically it would be a late 4th or 5th round pick. Love hasn’t really shown anything he is worth more than a 3rd round pick. Jim Nagy @JimNagy_SB · 1h Just hit up a few NFL scouts about potential asking price for Jordan Love. Most think Packers could get a 2nd round pick for him. Feeling is talent & upside worth that roll of dice. Will be interesting to see who is right ... insider quoting NFL scouts, or fan such as yourself with no inside knowledge. Guess we'll maybe see if they don't just decide to hang onto him for another year.

    I like me some Shelby Harris. Personally, I think Drew Lock is a nice back-up and nothing more. Will definitely be interesting to see the picks. Two 1sts, Two 2nds and a 5th along with Harris, Lock and Noah Fant for Wilson and a 4th That seems insane.
  11. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Considering the haul the Broncos are giving up for Russell Wilson, and the lack of perceived talent in this year's draft class, a 2nd wouldn't surprise me in the least.
  12. Ron Robinsons Beard
    The pick was understandable when it happened. Rodgers was showing signs of decline in 2019, especially in his accuracy. Obviously less so now. But you are correct. No one predicted Rodgers to go completely scorched earth on the NFL the last two seasons. Yeah, in hindsight, Higgins or Pittman would have been nice to have around. But no one really knows how much that Jordan Love pick slighted Rodgers' psyche and put a huge chip on his shoulder. I mean, the guy totally bought into Lafleur's offense, and remade his body to stand up to the rigors of the NFL at an advanced age. The guy is famous for playing with chips on his shoulder and trying to prove his doubters wrong. Can't it be surmised that his play over the last two years is at least partially due to the anger he felt toward Gute and the front office for a perceived lack of belief in him?

    That idea isn't completely out of the realm of possibility. It happened in the 1980s with the NFL and the USFL. The USFL coaxed some young stars and rookies to come play in that league, claiming it was going to upstage the NFL. But mismanagement and poor ratings doomed the USFL, and many of the young studs who played in the league in its first year jumped to the NFL before the start of Year 2. Of course, the rest went to the NFL after the USFL folded after Year 2. The NBA and the NFL are very much player-driven. MLB, being so regional, is not so much in my opinion. I have no doubt that had MLB stuck with the replacement players they hired in 1995, while they would have taken a hit, it would have eventually worked. That's why the union eventually caved and ended their strike.
  14. Ron Robinsons Beard
    Not gonna happen. No way he comes back unless there was a plan in place to run it back. A few guys will be gone no doubt, but they'll be replaced with ring chasers on cheap deals.

    If the game is the product then why dont they broadcast Indy league baseball nationwide with a huge TV contract? It's because the players are third-rate, that's why. The product is the best PLAYERS in the world, playing the game. If these 1200 players played in a different league in the United States, with 30 teams, all different team names and a few different cities, different mascots and different uniforms, then that is the league that would get the TV contracts. It would be disingenuous to ignore that reality. I think you are very much underestimating the number of fans who are cheering for the name on the front of the jersey first and foremost, rather than the name on the back.

    If they actually came to an agreement and reporting day was Friday there are still a ton of players unsigned who would be left behind as they wait for the best deal. Yep, it would be a free agent feeding frenzy. Situation would be very similar to the first couple days of NFL free agency.

    MLB has set today as a deadline in order to get in a full 162-game season. Apparently they'd tack the games already cancelled at the beginning of the season on to the end of the schedule, and start the playoffs roughly a week and a half later. The Competitive Balance Tax seems to be the biggest sticking point now. MLB has offered an increase in the threshold to trigger the tax, but not significant enough to get the MLBPA to sign off. If they come to an agreement today, players would report to Spring Training on Friday. I don't have a ton of optimism, but I am hoping they can finally put things to bed today. Because if they don't, we could be in for a long, baseball-less spring.

    I wish hitters weren't so reliant on the TTO but as we've seen over the past five years, the shift hasn't deterred them from that route in the slightest bit. Removing the shift isn't a perfect solution but it's better than nothing, as hitters have shown they will not adjust their swing to compensate, there's just too much value in the occasional line drive over going oppo every once in awhile. Where it's helped is making those types of hitters obsolete. Teams will only put up with players hitting .175 while grounding into the shift every time they don't hit a dinger only so much. I don't have much use for the guy who hits 30 HRs but ends up under .200 with a ton of Ks. That type of player is extremely boring to me, and does nothing to advance the game.
  19. Ron Robinsons Beard
    The pitch clock is badly needed, I personally hate the shift but don't think it will make much of a difference either way, and while I don't really understand why they think making the bases bigger is something that needs to be done, I also don't really care. Banning the shift is only going to make the 3TO types all the more empowered to not even try to make themselves complete hitters. Get ready for even more Ks as every one-dimensional pull hitter swings himself out of his shoes in every AB.

    Curt Hogg @CyrtHogg Baseball news has been Not So Good this week, so let’s shake up that trend a bit. I’m excited to announce I’ll be moving to the Brewers beat at the Journal Sentinel. Grateful for all the people that helped make a dream of covering Major League ball a reality. Let’s ride, MKE. Young Mr. Hogg it is. Pretty cool to see a young local reporter who grew up a huge fan of the Brewers and MLB get this shot.

    Evan Drellich @EvanDrellich · 7h Sources: Angels, Diamondbacks, Reds and Tigers owners opposed MLB luxury tax increase to $220 million. MLB also proposed including player meal money in calculation of luxury tax, which irked players. The Reds continue to be an absolute dumpster fire of a franchise.

    if owning a team was not profitable the owners would open their books and show all the world what a money pit it actually is. The fact that they dont tells me that the information would NOT benefit their cause if made public. Privately traded corporations rarely open their books. Doing so makes it quite difficult to attract investors if profits aren't high enough.
  23. Ron Robinsons Beard
    You are correct. It's the mid and small market teams that don't want the CBT increased to the level the MLBPA wants because they believe it will price them out of contention for the playoffs/world series due to big market spending. Exactly. MLBPA is under the assumption that the small and mid-market teams are not spending their shared revenue on player salaries, and instead pocketing it as profit. They believe that by increasing the CBT thresholds, the big markets who are already spending will spend even more. MLBPA doesn't care about competitive balance. Their sole goal is to make sure their members get paid as early as possible as much as possible. That's it.
  24. Ron Robinsons Beard
    The fact that you can quote exact player salaries and hold that against the players while not being able to say one truthful word about how much the owners make is by design. If the owners wanted to end this, they'd open their books and show the players how big a share of revenue they are already getting and leave it at that. They won't however, because - I wonder why someone wouldn't be transparent in a negotiation? Any ideas? Is there a rule or law that says that the company has to reveal their finances to a union in cba negotiations. I assume not since baseball doesn't seem to. Why do some feel it's necessary for the league and clubs to have to reveal their financials. Right. There is also no law that states that a corporation is required to share profits with its employees. I'm not real sure why MLB is viewed differently than other corporate America businesses.

    Glad I'm not the only one who was bothered by this. Scherzer looks pretty disingenuous in my mind. Having him there fighting for the "little guy" after signing that enormous deal with a huge market and the richest owner in the league is pretty questionable optics. Also, with a minimum salary of roughly $700,000, there really are no "little guys" to be fought for. That is a lot of money wherever you choose to live in this country. I know they will eventually work something out, but right now following this whole process has made me sick to my stomach.
