Getting to 6 over seems to be one of those humps we hit every season. Let’s get it done against CC and the Cubs and get on a roll again.
-
I screamed at the TV when he did that, it was like we just clinched the Super Bowl and then it was still in doubt. LOL at the comment above that Packer fans have forgotten that.
-
It sounds like he is just a guy they like and are trying to figure out a way to keep him from falling off the roster. I think we tried this with another WR one offseason in the last few years and it didn't amount to much. But who knows, his brother is a starting CB.
-
Packers move Bo Melton to CB, so there WAS a plan all along! 🙂
-
The Packers have been playing the perennial long game at least going back to the beginning of the TT era. Yes. sort of the multiple bites of the apple thing we debate with the Brewers approach. Things seem to be changing a bit in the last few years with more FA acquisitions, but I wonder if this just because of revenue/cap growth. It used to just be the bad teams with the cap room to splurge on the big name FA's. Now after the sense of urgency talk they just dumped a guy who is maybe down for down the best player on the team to save a few cap bucks for future years. While I do get the business calculation with this move, our SB chances in 25 are less than they were 2 days ago in my opinion.
-
Yes, and the unexpected midweek additions on the injury list. I haven't forgotten how disappointing it was that he didn't make it back for the playoffs as expected. I just wish we had better options without him.
-
It is reported that it was a deal that would have made him a FA after 25, which would have been nice since we could get a potential comp pick. He didn't like the structure which likely means it had too much money in incentives or the incentives were tougher to hit like 80% of snaps or something. I would guess as free agent he will get more in base salary than the Packers were offering, a lot of contenders would take a gamble on a 1 year deal with him. I would like to know if they lowballed him or just converted a lot of that $17 million in new money to incentives. Maybe it will leak.
-
Was just thinking the same thing and I assumed the cap hit would be larger. I would be all for it but it's not a Packer type move. You have to think Packers are bringing in someone though, looks like Gilmore is off the market now.
-
It will be interesting to see what sort of contract he gets, my guess is a 7-8 million one year prove it deal. Hopefully it's not with a rival and he goes to the AFC, it will sting a lot less for me. We just had a similar situation with Jones and of course he put in a relatively healthy year with the Vikes although he did slow late in the year. Jalen Ramsey?
-
I wonder if Alexander's agent just thought the Packers were bluffing and they would keep him on his current salary. But from the Packers perspective they can't offer him the restructure without the real threat of release. I wonder if Tom gets an extension now, it's hard for me to get my head around the need for the cap space, especially since they booted some of his hit to 2026. I know we have a lot of guys on expiring deals this season but outside of the OT's and maybe Quay none are really must keep. And they seem to be moving on from RWalker.
-
Packers to release Jaire today. I think this is a blunder, he will be in Minneapolis soon I am sure.
-
I think he understands but just like Favre he doesn't think he needs the offseason work. He tried pretty hard to keep building with the Jets but that franchise is a crap show. He can still make the throws and the Vikes have the tackles to protect him, they spent 12 million on Darnold for 1 year and he worked out fine with those weapons. I don't know how good McCarthy will be, they believe in him so who am I to second guess. Rodgers is motivated, the question is really can his body hold up. I do get not wanting the circus he brings.
-
$20 million is less than some of the numbers that were thrown around in March. Not that expensive a roll of the dice for Steelers. I am still sort of surprised the Vikings didn’t do that at that price.
-
I would really like to see them extend Jenkins to lock him at center for the next few years but not sure the team wants to do that. It's just that they seem to be building a good oline and I would like to see it kept together longer than this year, just let Walker and Rhyan walk and keep the rest. I like getting Detroit at home week 1, they may be feeling some pressure after getting bounced in playoffs and would have probably preferred a weakling to get things back on track. 2-0 would set us up nicely. For those of us with Gold package it's a love and hate schedule. Great matchups but Thursday and Monday night games sort of stink. Especially when you have a 4 hour drive like me and have to take multiple days off work to attend. Eagles could be valuable ticket though.
-
Nope, but we are in Detroit on Thanksgiving. The opening 5 day home stint with Lions and Wash should tell us a lot about the team.
-
Yes, when you look at the WR's in our division a healthy Jaire could easily be the difference between a division title or yet another 7 seed. I would think converting 4.25 million of salary to $250k active roster bonuses would be a fair compromise but it wouldn't surprise me if that packers want double that number. Up until now the recent talk of him returning has been mostly speculation but Peter Schragers report on his conversation with MLF seems to give it more legs. Sounds like he will be back.
-
Stackhouse sounds like a guy who might stick as Slaton's replacement as run stuffer. I was thinking we still had Jonathon Ford but he is with the Bears now.
-
I really don't understand why you would leak that you are going to cut him and continue to try and trade him. He will probably sign with the Vikings or Lions and they will luck out and get a healthy season out of him. I agree that CB seems like huge weakness now that we passed on drafting one high. I do get not wanting to throw good money after bad but you need to try to win the Super Bowl too and most of us thought we had a chance with him coming back for the playoffs last year. It seems worth rolling the dice on to me as his teammates seem to like him.
-
I agree, if they took a guy not typical size for what they like it is probably BPA at a need position. I like it, we don't take exciting skill position guys this high too often lately.
-
I was sweating out the Chargers pick, felt like Vikes would jump ahead of us for someone.
-
Golden small for Packers, I like Johnson
-
Broncos took Barron
-
Yes just scrolling through mocks and saw ESPn had him to Niners at 11.
-
I hope for Will Johnson but wouldn't be surprised if the Packers passed on him with the injury questions and no 40. A big group of players to choose from that fit our needs, tough to call at this point.
-
Nolen went a bit earlier than I have seen but we are probably into that 2nd tier now where there aren't really any reaches.
