Why did Rodgers make it sound like the contract talk was all a big lie when it wasn't? There's nothing cap friendly about this deal. Not that I expected it to, but don't make it sound like you're doing us favors.
-
This would have been super exciting 10 years ago. In all seriousness, they need and have needed a bat that can hit lefty pitching and McCutchen still does that well. Good signing.
-
I'm thinking Davante ends up signing for something like 3 years/$85M with heavy backloading and void years.

Scott Hall is dying. ? family discontinuing life support, 3 heart attacks after complications from a blood clot following hip replacement surgery.
-
Just want to say you're doing a great job, Brock. The light layout is a little bit visually distracting for me but like any other change I think it's just because I'm used to the opposite and will just need some time to get used to it.
-
Well heck, he didn't even make it until free agency started.

Is this offseason time to trade Hader?
adambr2 replied to Roderick's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I expect the trade market for Hader to be like it is every year: Them: "Hey, what would it take for us to get Josh Hader?: Us; "A lot." Them: "No way." Us: "OK sounds good." -
Played our way back down to a 4 seed.
-
I don't even understand what their point or angle is with that. Like the Packers are gonna be like, "Oh, you didn't even like him that much? Well I guess we aren't going to ask for much then."
-
We don't know that they didn't. Interest has to be mutual. I can't speak for Trubisky but given the Bears' reputation for QB development, the carousel with Mitch and Foles in 2020 and the fact that he's still very young for a QB, I know I wouldn't be looking for anything other than a fresh start elsewhere.
-
I feel weird defending Trubisky....it's just that people talk about him like he's just this all-time flop ...he's not. His career TD/INT rating and QB rating are pretty respectable especially in the offense he came from. He can run some. He's been to a Pro Bowl, I know that's worth little, yadda yadda, but yeah. He's not JaMarcus Russell. He's 27. In this QB market I can understand why there are teams that want to take a $10M roll of the dice on him. I'm sure it does not help the perception of him that he went in the same draft as Watson and Mahomes and was off the board before them. If he goes in a different QB light draft nobody talks about him.
-
Double hearers 7 or 9 innings ? Is the runner on 2nd to start extras still a thing? 3 batter minimum still a thing ?
-
At this point, yes. That doesn't make him comparable to Russell and Leaf. And again, while yes he's a flop at this point there's a reason he has a hot market for QB needy teams.
-
Comparing Trubisky with Ryan Leaf or JaMarcus Russell is pretty absurd. If you look at his career numbers he hasn't been all that bad, especially given being under Matt Nagy his entire career. It takes some pretty tinted Packer goggles to suggest that Trubisky is trash but Love should be worth more than a 2nd round pick.

When Does The Lockout End? Answer: March 10th, 2022
adambr2 replied to jjgott's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
Non-union international prospects ride buses for meager wages too. An international draft removes their freedom to choose whichever organization offers the most money & replaces it with a forced slotting system, which is why the MLBPA is against it. My point was that for years, the MLBPA has never made improving the quality of life for minor league players much of a priority to them, and now with part of the season at stake this is the hill they want to die on. I never suggested they shouldn't be against it, although a lack of an international draft is clearly harmful to small market organizations like the Brewers. -

I wish the MLBPA gave a crap as much about their non-union minor league players riding busses for meager wages for 10 years as they do about non-union international prospects. -
And if that’s true, and it may be, that’s why most NFL teams struggle to find QBs. Continually cycling through overpaid ‘veteran’ guys who are proven failures or mediocrity while wondering why they can’t get their franchise turned around. The fact that Trubisky is the hottest FA QB is literal lunacy. Hey, maybe Sam Bradford deserves a 4th (or is it 5th?) shot. I think with Trubisky there is still the pondering of "does he really suck or is it just that Matt Nagy really sucked?" Maybe the former, but you aren't a top 3 pick in the NFL without some traits that teams want.
-
Yeah, Jimmy G seems to make a lot more sense for the Colts. They are flush with cap space and don't need to worry about saving money on a QB. They'll probably prefer a safe floor guy as a borderline playoff team. Spending a 2nd on a total wild card doesn't seem to make much sense for themthem. I guess maybe if they lose the Jimmy G sweepstakes then maybe but even then they may prefer to target someone like Mariota or Trubisky.
-
Colts have pick #47. Take it and run if you can get it.

Just to be clear, tagging Adams IS impossible. Yes, they tagged him for now of course, procedural. But they can't go into the season with Adams at that franchise tag cap hit. Nor can they keep Rodgers at his current cap number. Hopefully that's all been worked out and being finalized, otherwise more drama to come. I actually think from a Rodgers/Adams window type standpoint, Adams playing under the franchise tag this year and next year would be about the ideal scenario. Does anyone believe we're going to get 4 more years out of Rodgers? My guess would be 2, and that fits nicely into the window that we could reasonably expect high level play out of Adams, and then we wouldn't carry cap commitments to Adams beyond '23. However....obviously won't happen. They are all-in on the next couple years and extending Adams will give them more room for other moves, presumably.
-
I don't think they ever intended to because he was always going to be their starter, eventually. Love likely now isn't the heir apparent. Teams won't get to see a large body of onfield work, period. So you either take what you can get or hold.
-
I also don't know why anyone would assume the offer for Wilson would have been there for Rodgers, much less get an even better offer. Wilson hasn't been as good in the recent year or two as Rodgers to be sure, but he is still young enough where you can build around him. Same with Stafford last year. Rodgers could be a 1 and done. It's basically year to year. The 4 year contract is meaningless. Huge risk.
-
I don't think the Packers trade Love for just a 2nd (particularly one not towards the top of that round) even if at this point many would view that as good value for him, so we'll never know...he's too valuable as a backup QB option in his 3rd year of development in this system with a ~$3.4M cap number for 2022. Meh. If you can get any 2nd I'd absolutely take it. You can get Cam Newton, Tyrod Taylor, Jacoby Brissett, etc for around the same cap number as that. I don't see how Love has shown he's a better option than any of these guys as a backup QB.
-
Can you quote anyone who said tagging Adams was impossible? Being difficult and having to have A, B, C happen for it to be possible isn't the same as being impossible.
-
A Rodg and Braun are both "love em if they're yours, hate them if they're not" type guys. Giannis is generally quite likeable. Yelich is very likeable too, although I'd like him much more if he didn't suck now.
