Man, it's going to be a real letdown if Rodgers retires. Not only will we be in for some rebuilding years, we won't get squat for compensation for him leaving.
-
This was his defense for him and his friends nearly killing a person. Wow, seriously Kamara? They called your friend "ugly?" I was hoping for at least some reasonable defense. Maybe "they kept getting overly physical with a female acquaintance and we defended her." I could at least see his perspective if that were the case. At LEAST give them something to work with like "they called us a racial slur." They called my friend ugly? Really? Lock the thug up.

Unpopular Opinion - I like Rob Manfred
adambr2 replied to edfunderburk's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
I try to keep an open mind, but if you're going to offer a contrarion opinion, I would think you'd at least back if up with some examples of what you think makes Rob Manfred a good commissioner rather than just saying "I like Rob Manfred." -
I'm sorta shocked that Monroe is only 31. Feels like he's been around forever.
-
Meh. Ibaka is a good fit, but clearly DDV didn't really have the trade value that we has hoped for. It makes us a better team for this season, though.

Curious, why do the Lakers suck? Shouldn't they be good?

The Simpsons actually began in the 1980s. Wild how long that show has been around.

That was one of the craziest drives in NFL history. They tied the game after this: For some reason, GB completed the first hail mary and then decided not to spike it. Really never understood what Rodgers was thinking not spiking the ball, especially after all his linemen just had to run 70 yards downfield. Not totally sure why there wasn't a 10 second runoff either. Very fortunate they were still able to run 2 plays after this. Always wished they had gone for 2. Given how down they were on weapons, I probably would have lined up shotgun 3 wide, handed it to Lacy, and whatever happens happens.

Jeff Janis had 101 receiving yards on one drive. Can some historian confirm or deny that that is an NFL playoff game record?

The franchise tag is for their 2022 salary which isn't effective until 3pm March 16th. The reason that Rodgers is deciding before March 8th is so that Adams can negotiate a longer/more guaranteed $ deal than a one-year franchise tag. He's doing it so that Adams doesn't get tagged on a one-year deal, not because he has to in order to tag Adams. The article you linked says nothing that supports your stance. Ok. I guess you'll find out next month. They have to have the cap space to tag/trade Adams. They can't literally trade a player at the same time as tagging him while simultaneously being able to do it because now they have enough space to tag him after trading him. Its not a stance, its the actual facts and reality of tagging/trading Adams. I'm not going to continue posting every link and going on with this back and forth. If you'd like more information on it, go follow Ken Ingalls on Twitter who does much more research and reporting on this kind of thing than you and I.

Is MVS really getting a good payday? He does not seem like something worth breaking the bank to me, but I think Robby Anderson got like 2/30 and Nelson Agholor something similar and JuJu got like 1/8 so I couldn't even begin to try to gauge the receiver market.
-
Can you please provide evidence of this? Everything I read says that teams have to be under the cap at 3pm on March 16th and all transactions (trades, restructurings, taggings, etc.) are processed and effective at the same time (3pm March 16th) to assess the cap space. The period for applying the tags is from February 22nd thru March 8th. The player can sign them at any time, so a team has to have the space to make the offer. https://www.upi.com/Sports_News/NFL/2022/01/26/Aaron-Rodgers-decide-Green-Bay-Packers-future-by-March-franchise-tag-deadline/9701643207614/

They absolutely can trade to clear cap space. The Rams traded Michael Brockers and the Saints traded Malcom Brown last year effective 3/17 to clear space to get under the cap. This article is talking about how the Saints may have to trade players to get under the cap. I'm not trying to be snide, but I don't understand how you got any of that out of what I said. I never said nor implied that they couldn't trade to clear cap space. Again, they can't use a Rodgers trade as a mechanism to free up space for an Adams tag because the space for the Adams tag must be available BEFORE Rodgers is traded. There is not a possibility for a simultaneous transaction here. They have to find the space to not only get under the cap but get far enough under to tag Adams, tag him, and then when the new league year starts they can complete a trade.

Well for one it's larger because they've made more moves. They've signed reserve/future contracts which has increased their amount in the hole. Two, the amount they're actually in the hole ($51.5M) is different from the amount they actually need to tag Adams, which is that plus an additional $20M or so. So the $70M I stated was actually an understatement. Conversely, I think the opposite of what your position is here -- there is actually such a "cap don't matter" attitude on this board. Yes, it matters. Yes the salary cap is fluid and not really a hard yearly cap, and there are ways around it but there are also limitations and potentially big consequences. I never said tagging Adams was impossible but I'm amazed how many people seem to think we can just do a couple restructures and cuts here and there, slap the tag on him, get a king's ransom and we're good to go.
-
Go back 14 posts in this thread Yes I read it. You can't trade Rodgers as a move to clear space to to tag and trade Adams in the same transaction. The space to tag Adams needs to be available first.
-
It's already out there in multiple media properties that if the Packers don't sign Adams to an extension before the tag deadline, they are 100% going to find a way to tag him. If Rodgers comes back, it would assuredly be under a restructured deal to free up space. If Rodgers retires or is dealt, that frees up money to tag Adams. But if that happened, Adams would likely be tagged and dealt. Absolutely no way they let him get to unrestricted free agency and allow him to walk for only a 2023 compensatory 3rd. Having Ian Rapoport leak that they intend to tag him, which can be nothing more than a negotiation tactic, and actually finding the means to actually do it are two entirely different things. I'm not saying it's not possible but they literally have to find a way to clear about $70M from the cap in the next month or so. You are talking about adding a LOT of voidable years into veteran contracts and pushing a LOT of salary out to future years.

1) Still don't have even close to a good enough cap situation to make this feasible, and won't have a chance to get there, unless 2) Rodgers frees up a ton of 2022 space on a restructure/long-term extension, in which case 3) We're talking about signing Adams to an extension, not tagging and trading him

The 49ers are just shooting themselves in the foot.

"There was a hush that came over the stadium" Yes it started at opening kickoff.

Honestly thought the 49ers were gonna go for it and thought they should have.

What in the world McVay

Controversial question coming here, but did the Bengals demonstrate today that a good offensive line isn't really all that important?
-
At this point it's sadly just expected this time of year. It's hard for me to even look at it like a blown opportunity knowing all too well that they might very well have blown it against the Rams or blown it against the Bengals.
-
Yeah, I am sure you are right on the room needing to be cleared for the tag before the under the cap time, I just wasn't clear when that was. I guess the work around here might be extending Rodgers and Adams before that time to help with cap with the worked out trades in place. It seems easier if the NFL did allow a window to get some things done though before cap time, I mean every $ paid counts eventually anyway. They do. That window is between now and March 16th.
-
Getting far enough under the cap to franchise Adams for the purpose of trading Rodgers and Adams in a deal just isn't very realistic. Restructuring/extending Rodgers, saving a great deal of cap room for that and then making other moves that allow us enough space to sign Adams to a backloaded deal with a smaller up front cap hit is a far more likely possibility.
