    I am surprised by this, he is still considered a solid 2 way edge and while not worth the contract it doesn't seem like a huge overpay. I guess they weren't happy with how he finished but Parsons is coming off ACL and LVN has been a disappointment. It's not like we can tank in 2026 for a top 5 pick.

    They are projecting Willis at $20-30 million per year. He is projected the top FA here as well: Top 101 NFL free agents of 2026: Who are the best players available? Remember back after the Baltimore game when the consensus in the media seemed to be he was still just high quality backup and that had not changed? $8 million per year? It will be interesting how much he actually gets,

    We just have to hope it is load management, it doesn't sound like a setback. But it's not good considering the same type of report happened last spring and it was July before he pitched for Brewers.

    Just completely handed the game to them. Unbelievable.

    Not for those players of course but if you were to say for a 5.5 WAR slugging 3B on an $8 million expiring deal and a bottom of the rotation starter with 5 years of control sure.

    I didn't like giving up Houser either, similar to Myers he was a useful MLB pitcher. But he was awful for the Mets that year and we still have Crow. He was also a lot more expensive than Myers.
  7. OldHeidelberg
    Count me as one who thinks giving up Myers is a little underrated here. He has had proven MLB success, it would not be shocking if Mets get more WAR out of him than we get out of Sproat. But they weren't giving up 12 years of control for one so I can see why we had to include him. That said, if we had to trade Freddy this seems like a very nice return. Williams sounds like a fantastic prospect who is on the rise. I would say that is the difference from the Burnes trade, Hall and Ortiz had already lost some prospect luster where these 2 seem to be rising.

    There is no way that would happen, Rodgers did all he could to push MM out the door. I think Rodgers retires and maybe comes back if there is an injury to a QB from a contender next season. If he wants to play maybe the Vikings see things a little differently now. He is pretty done, can still sling it and manage a game but just isn't mobile enough to be what he was.

    Are we in TACO territory? Not getting into the politics more looking at buying opportunity this week. I think I will treat it as such.

    I didn't watch any football this weekend as I never do after a Packers playoff exit but glad to wake up and see the Bears fans got their hopes up late and finally had their hearts torn out. That late rally crap was getting annoying, I expect they have a lot of bad luck coming their way next season.

    Schefter now reporting deal to extend MLF and Gutes expected to be completed. We can only hope it is a 2 year deal for LeFleur. 😡
  12. OldHeidelberg
    There is something to be said for that the trading team would be getting the first year at a reduced rate from the 15 million/ year he will get. But I think we are probably looking at a 3rd round pick at best. That's a heck of a lot better than a long term extension in my mind. It would have to really go bad for the Packers to eat ~50 million for a coach. He could probably survive consecutive 5-12 seasons.
  13. OldHeidelberg
    I am interested to see how Willis does on the market. Most articles I saw after his showing against Ravens didn't seem to think it moved the needle much and think he is still in the $8-10 million range. I think he gets a Justin Fields type 2/40 deal, I just don't know why QB needy teams would blink at that price when top guys are getting 50-60 a year these days. That he got hurt may be a red flag for some though.
  14. OldHeidelberg
    I know as soon as I post this they will announce an extension keeping MLF in GB through 2035 but I am now thinking he will not be our coach next year. Schefter was the one who said Monday he heard they were working on deal and now I see he is questioning what is taking so long. I think considering fan sentiment right now it may be best for both sides to get fresh start.
  15. OldHeidelberg
    The longer it takes the more that seems likely, If reports are to be believed they were trying to give him an extension before but he didn't like the offer and nothing has changed except he is really unpopular right now. I would put my money on a 1 year extension but I do think it is possible they are taking a few days to get him moved to Atlanta or Miami.
  16. OldHeidelberg
    If they were willing to eat 30 million or whatever next offseason by firing him I don't know what the holdup is on an extension. If they sign him through 2030 I would expect he gets a VERY long leash to get to at least 28, that just seems like how the Packers do business. I get your point, just not sure it applies to the Packers like it does most other teams. I do agree it should.
  17. OldHeidelberg
    In only takes one and I believe there would be at least that. He is still young and highly regarded as a play caller and QB guru. We know his limitations but some else will be fooled or think he can be fixed.
  18. OldHeidelberg
    It was reported that they offered him less than 10 million/year on his new deal and that was the holdup. Does that number go up after Saturday night? It would have if not for a spectacular choke by a "disheveled" team, but for now I would say let's see how it plays out this week.
  19. OldHeidelberg
    I think they will try to get him on a 2 year extension, the question is if it is fair market value or if MLF wants a longer deal. But like you say if they want to trade him this is how they start that process.
  20. OldHeidelberg
    The problem is I would think they have to spend a couple of weeks working out that trade before they can hire a new coach. I could see it happening if MLF refuses their final extension offer to give them reason and then things could move quick with a team like Atlanta. I think we will find out a lot today one way or the other.

    3rd playoff loss for the Packers with a double digit lead. The other 2 were the wonderful memories of Seattle and 4th and 26 in Philly.
  22. OldHeidelberg
    Robert Saleh? I like the idea of a defensive head coach for the same reason you state. We could bring in another LaFleur like Mike McDaniel to run the offense.
  23. OldHeidelberg
    Harbough also will be expensive and may want some control over personnel decisions. Those don't make him a great fit for the Packers organization. I think it will probably come down to whether MLF will accept a short extension at what the Packers offer.
  24. OldHeidelberg
    Schefter: Packers CEO Ed Policy has a decision to make about Matt LaFleur - Yahoo Sports Not much here but speculation but the idea that the Packers will only move on from MLF if they have a replacement in mind makes some sense. I don't know that Bob Harlan's son being Harbough's agent really means much.

    It's not just fans on twitter, take a look around, plenty of sportswriters out there questioning him too. He is 3-6 in the playoffs, hasn't gotten us to the Super Bowl, call it an overreaction to last night if you want but many of us haven't been happy with him for a while now. It's not that hard to win in the regular season if you have a good QB and he does seem to be a good OC. But he is a terrible at game management and it has been 7 years. He could probably use a fresh start somewhere else too. And I said he has lost the fanbase, never said anything about everyone dropping their season tickets over it.
