Trading Rodgers first clears 20 and the 20 for Adams only needs to be cleared for a day and you get it back. Most moves outside of that are things we have to do to get under the cap anyway, there have been a few recent posts listing them I think. Edit: just thinking of my post earlier on the Rodgers trade timing which may be incorrect, do we even need to clear space for Adams if we sign and trade him on Mar 18th? How are we clearing 20 first by trading Rodgers first if he's being traded at the same time? Yes, we need cap space to franchise Adams before trading him. He will be a free agent and not even ours to trade otherwise.

I don't know if "exercise their demons" or "they compliment each other well" drives me more insane.
-
For sure. The Bengals have paid their dues and are much easier to root for than the Chiefs who have basically become the new Patriots of the AFC that nobody really wants to see in the Super Bowl.
-
I'm wiling to watch 49ers/Rams tonight where in previous years I had ni interest after the Packers got eliminated, so maybe I'm becoming less emotionally attached. Or maybe it just because I gamble on the games.
-
Watching Butker and McPherson this postseason is why I never really understood the obsession many Packer fans have had over the years with Crosby. Like ....that's just the average modern day kicker. They're all awesome and make big kicks now. The Scott Norwoods of the world aren't good enough to even ever make a roster anymore. The modern kickers check all the boxes- accuracy, leg strength, they got it all. Sure there are the ones that flop, but those are the exception nowadays and don't last long in the league Anyhow, thrilled to see the Bengals pull it off.
-
I guess my first question though would be how we managed to clear 70M or so in cap space to not only franchise Adams but do it without first restructuring/extending Rodgers.
-
Is this the same Bengals kicker that couldn't hit the end zone from the goalline earlier this year against us? He is money.
-
This is crazy. I mean it looked like the Chiefs were going to just cruise today. Them not getting any points before halftime looks enormous.
-
Ok now the Chiefs look like the Packers.
-
I wish we could just predictably dominate an obviously inferior opponent in a home playoff game like this.

Drafting a QB in the 1st round with the intention of him sitting for 3 years is kind of nuts in this day and age. Sure it worked fine in 2005 but now you're losing out on the major benefit of having a starting QB on a cheap rookie contract. Not only that but you have to decide on the 5th year option after year 3. If they never start you literally have to make a decision on an expensive 5th year option without ever even the guy play. I think they drafted Love because Rodgers was pretty meh in 2017-2019 and he looked a lot more like an old QB on the downside of his career than someone who was going to be an MVP the next two seasons. I also think what happened with Rodgers is giving people unrealistic expectations for what we might expect from a QB getting 3 years in the system before starting.
-
Sounds like Rodgers will likely be staying another year for last dance 2.0. We'll have to see how they are going to swing keeping both him and Davante. Super stoked for another upcoming 13-4 season with some sort of spectacular breakdown leading to a disappointing early playoff exit.

The Rumble could be the best PPV of the year by far, but they ruined it years ago by guaranteeing the winner a shot at a championship title at Wrestlemania which eliminates all but about 4-5 entrants. There's an old saying in marketing that "predictability is the enemy of engagement", and when you know that 25 of the 30 entrants have no chance that increases the predictability. Can't really do anything about the leaks, that's the media doing their job. If you want to make money, bet on the favorite the morning of the event. I think one of the best ones was in the late 90's when the tide was starting to turn from WCW to WWE and they grabbed a couple of guys who were just released from WCW the week leading up to the Rumble. They didn't even have entrance music for the WCW guys. Other than the times the winner wins a vacated championship hasn't it always been that way? Yeah, it's been that way at least since '94. And you've always been able to nail who had an actual shot to win it down to 4 or 5 guys and who was just there to get their hands dirty for 3 or 4 minutes and then head back to the locker room.
-
Love him or hate him, it's impossible at least for me not to respect him. A legend.
-
3 first rounders and 2 seconds for a 38 year old QB is nuts anyway. No one is doing that.
-
I still think people are overestimating the Rodgers return. We shall see.
-
Or having 10 guys on the last FG...there's plenty of coaching blame to place aside from the personnel.
-
Only issue is that Rodgers will likely have them picking near the end of each round. This year we know the Broncos pick 9th. Yeah, you definitely want #9 this year. If Love flops, they'll probably have their own high 1st to use in '23.
-
Assuming that Adams would join Rodgers in Denver which I would guess he would, the Broncos WR room would be so loaded that I think they'd almost have to trade Jeudy anyway. Both Sutton, who probably has #1 WR talent, and Patrick were both just signed to extensions. Patrick is nothing special but has always outperformed expectations. That's not even counting KJ Hamler who has 2nd round pedigree and could be a better version of MVS, and Noah Fant who would be Rodgers' most talented TE since Jermichael Finley. Oh, and they have their RB of the future as well in Javonte Williams. I actually think Jeudy makes a ton of sense in the return to Green Bay, he's a #1 type talent for Love to start with and he's 22 and on a cheap rookie deal so he works with our cap situation. The Broncos offensive room would simply be getting overcrowded.
-
There's a lot more flexibility to the practice squad and IR than there used to be, so you'd think it'd be easier than ever to keep guys employed solely for special teams prowess.
-
This is such a bad look for MLF. You made a bad internal hire, own it and move on and start a new search. Delaying it and making it look like there's a decision to be made isn't doing anyone any favors including Drayton.
-
I'm definitely taking the field if we're putting odds on Green Bay or the field. I don't think people fully appreciate the amount of cap gymnastics they are going to have to do to get under the cap. They are basically 45-50M over right now with their reserve/future contracts and that is with Adams having no contract. It isn't like prior offseasons when they could just figure it out with a few restructures, and I don't see Rodgers back if Adams isn't.
-
I get that the days of us dreaming of 70 win seasons are behind us ...but it feels like we should be better than a 30-20 team.
-
I'm actually starting to wonder if MLF is inexplicably tripling down on his support of Maurice Drayton. Surely he is smart enough to realize that even if a great deal of the ST failures aren't truly Drayton's fault, the terrible optics and PR alone would make retaining him an awful idea.

Divisional Round: 49ers @ Packers - Saturday, January 22nd 7:15PM
adambr2 replied to homer's topic in Other Sports
Yeah, Crosby is gone. He's got stretches where he's really reliable but the inconsistency and lack of a strong leg are just a little too much for the salary. I hope he just retires rather than tries to hang on elsewhere;he's made plenty in his career and I don't think he's going to have much of a market if he tries to go elsewhere, at least not on the salary he's used to. If you have to spend 5th round draft capital on Parker White, it's probably worth it.
