I mean, it's likely top of the 5th round to a lower 3rd round pick not sure what the equivalent value is but probably a 4th rounder? Better than nothing I guess.
-
Yeah, they can't get a deal done with Jaylen Johnson so look to trade him and then trade a high pick to another guy they are going to have to pay? I just read they are going to have a ton of cap space but they sure don't value their draft picks much. It doesn't sound like Raiders will trade Davante which seem pretty weird too but maybe there are cap issues with doing that.
-
@Chi where they tend to struggle and then SF at home next 2 games, they are going to need Jefferson to get back quick. Also have Detroit and GB twice and @CIN down the road. They need to go 8-4 to have a shot, not impossible but they are probably closer to trading Cousins at the deadline than the playoffs at this point. I really thought they would pull the upset yesterday and then beat Bears and be right back in at 3-3.
-
So now that we are 3 games in and maybe even have some playoff aspirations does trading for JT make more sense? Dillon looks done and Jones is getting long in the tooth and already missing games. Maybe Indy will take a 2nd rounder now and be done with him? Of course the elephant in the room is do we want to pay JT premium RB money but if healthy he sure would help this year and we would need to invest draft picks in the position next year anyway.
-
During the season last year I was sure they would move on but I am not sure they ever considered releasing him. I agree, we need the rock Bakh who you can plug in there and forget about but that guy is gone. Any update on Jenkins? Sort of under the radar during the game but they said knee injury.
-
Bakhtiari listed as questionable, I guess there was something to the article this offseason that questioned whether he would play on turf.
-
I wonder if we are just too predictable with Dillon back there. The Bears seemed to be in the backfield every play when he got the ball. But yeah he was awful yesterday and for most of last season too. I think he had a ton of carries at BC, maybe one of those players who hits a career wall early.
-
It really is tempting, especially if you intend to bring everyone back next season. It would be the all in thing we have all pined for in the Burnes/Woodruff years. Plus, if you win the WS this year you can pull a Marlins and have a garage sale in the offseason and rebuild. No to Chourio but anything else I could probably learn to live with if we are talking just 2 top prospects and change.
-
I don't see any talk anywhere here of Rodgers taking a pay cut with the Jets. My first thought was he wants them to trade for Bakh but reports this morning are maybe he was making room for Delvin Cook. It's probably more about his ego though, just wants to be like Brady and make it look like he has never been greedy. Cleans up his image a bit and maybe makes him more marketable. He also got a no tag clause so after 25 he can sign anywhere. Back on topic camp is here!

Some good points in there, especially about the loss of social connections. I was laid off once and it was after I was at the company for 10 years, I got 16 weeks severance and it was June so I went home feeling like "paid vacation!", went out with friends and got drunk. Man, waking up the next morning was maybe the worst I have ever felt, it's a real kick in the groin to be pulled out of something that became such a part of your life. You always try but eventually lose touch with most of the friends you have at your job. Now that I am older and more secure in my career, I have embraced the quit and then look for a job mentality when I have had enough, I don't think gaps in employment has the stigma it used to. If they can drop me anytime why shouldn't I get to take this job and shove it? Good luck and sorry you lost your job.
-
Not this gold package holder. If that is true that is the second straight year they stuck us with the Thursday night game. Sunday night is ok but almost everyone I know who goes to games prefers Sunday afternoon games. I think this will be my last year as ticket holder, probably cheaper to just go to the games I want on stub hub anyway.
-
If all of the almost unbelievable parallels between the careers of Rodgers and Favre continue the packers, having the extra second round pick, will take a QB in the second to cover themselves in case Love flops. Of course, it will be the new QB, maybe that guy from Tennessee. who busts like Brohm did. :)
-
As usual I don't really pay attention until draft week but I think OL is thin but good at the top of the draft. I feel like if we draft at #13 we may get the best value there as other needs like TE and Edge can maybe be addressed in the second round or later. Skoronski sounds a lot like Bulaga. I do think if we trade back I wouldn't mind trading into next year draft. I know we already have but we have enough picks this year and next year we will have a year of Love at QB to know where we are and the extra premium picks may payoff better. Maybe Seattle wants Richardson and he falls to #13? Can't wait for tonight, glad we have something to get us over the Bucks so quickly.
-
I have been an advocate for building inside out and drafting stud lineman on both sides of the ball for a few years now. And with the switch at QB it may be a good time to start. As usual I am a little late getting into the draft but OT seems like a position that may be BPA at 13 and I agree we could use one. I also think we are so close now that trading up for one of the 2 elite Edge guys would be tempting, maybe one gets to 5 or 7 and we could trade up? I think there are some concerns with Wilson's foot that may drop him. Getting to 3 would do it but would take a haul and I am not interested in spending that much on one player until we know what we have in Love.
-
Colombia I think is a bit underrated as a retirement destination. I looked into it and if you invest 200K there, which can be just buying a house/property, you can get some sort of visa/residency. I could basically trade my house for one down there and am guessing it would be a bit of an upgrade over what I have here. Health care is cheap and good. I am leaning toward Mexico if I do it though, I like that it's drivable and I think it would be a little easier to adjust to things culturally there than in some of the other countries mentioned here.
-
I think Gutes has already said they planned on doing that, not directly but more like he said Love has shown them enough to warrant it. Now of course it is a given.
-
That is a good point, there probably is a fair chance the Pat's or Jets would pick our top player. I think Skoronski or Smith-Njigba would be a pleasant surprise at 13.
-
Since the Jets want the contract reworked before the trade does that mean the Packers are going to eat some more salary/bonus in exchange for the jet's "generosity" in pick compensation? I guess it could work either way but I think I heard it was the Jets asking for the new contract before the trade.
-
After thinking about it a while it seems like we pretty much got the same deal that has been rumored the last few weeks. We didn't get the unprotected first and the Jets didn't get a potential 25 pick if Rodgers retires. I do think the jets sort of won the narrative here, nobody believed Rodgers was really 90% thinking retirement but they reportedly used it as leverage. Seattle and Detroit picking in top 10 hurt us too but that's not really fair as the Rams got a Lombardi for their trouble. I saw on NFL network an estimate that everything the Packers got(of course '24 pick is variable) was worth about pick #21. Since I said I thought the #13 pick alone was fair comp I guess I can't complain too much. I think it will be key for this trade if moving up to #13 pans out. If the Packers pick at that spot there is probably a good chance they could have had the same player at #15 and end up just paying more for him. On the other hand the higher you are the better chance you are sitting in a key trade up or trade down position, especially with 4 QB's going high possible.

When I read the initial reports on the McAfee interview while at work yesterday they did make it sound like he was blaming the Packers when they took one quote out of context. Later when I saw more of the interview I realized he was really just explaining that they weren't waiting on his decision anymore, he didn't sound hostile to the Packers to me. I think those early reports are what gave that impression to some.
-
I think the 13th pick all by itself would be fair compensation, but I can see why the Jets likely won't give it up. If they are going all in with Rodgers for a year or 2 they need that starter. It's a premium pick and reading Jets forums they still need some help on the oline. Future picks they would probably part with easier as they hope they will be later in the rounds. I also think the Packers should be fine with picks in 24 and 25 as it will help to build around Love. They have been running a top 10 Rodgers moments on NFL network all morning, reminded just how great it has been having him all these years and I agree it's sort of sad to see him shown the door even if I agree with it. It also made me think those who think he isn't worth much in a trade are wrong.
-
I read that Silverstein reported Gutes said he wanted to move on with Love late in the season. Seems to be plenty of smoke here, enough for me to think we have seen the last of Rodgers playing QB in GB. The jets 13 pick would be nice, is the Raiders 7 pick too much to hope for?
-
Reacher is entertaining enough, the perfect series to released before the holidays as it's the sort of action flick everyone enjoys. But it's pretty much just Roadhouse, and no one will ever do it better than Roadhouse. Peacemaker is easily the most entertaining show I have watched in the last year, and I watch way too much TV these days.
-
Yes, I don't think my last 2 jobs ever contacted my references, for sure my last one didn't. Maybe it's just that I have a longer work history now and a lot of stuff is now verifiable in other ways but generally I would think you get a pretty good feel for a person and their skills from interviews and no one is going to provide a reference that would say anything bad about them. It's probably not a great tool to use in the hiring decision process anyway.

I had read about it but didn't realize it until becoming unemployed again, there has been a shift from employees being made to feel like they are lucky to have a job to employers being lucky to have employees. I can't say this exist in all professions but it is definitely happening in the service sector as well as IT. In my view this is a good side effect of COVID.
