In the past, everytime when we have been "in the conversation" to add a great player, via trade or FA, it's "we won't pay him" or "yeah, we are always in the conversation, but we never get the player". For at least a week, we were in the "Conversation", and yesterday, we came out on top, and added an elite player. Now people are pissed because of what we gave up, or the size of the contract. I couldn't give too $hits about the contract, or the Draft Picks right now. The cap is the cap, it goes up every year and is munipulated by every team with void years, pushing $$ out to future years, etc. so they can sign players. The Packers "will" find ways to sign guys, and they "will" also cut guys to do it, we do it every year.
We haven't won a Super Bowl since 2010, adding Parsons gives us a better chance to get there. I'm tired of losing in the NFC Championship Game, or the Wild Card round every year, and hearing "Well, hopefully we will do it next year". I want our team to try and do/be better, I love that we are all in, and that's what this acquisition is all about. If we don't make it to the promised land, it will be disappointing, but at least we finally shot our shot, and took the chance for once.
Be Happy, "You" and "I" have no control over what the Packers do, so try to enjoy the ride...I know that's what I'm going to try to do. This is the biggest trade to acquire an elite player that we ever did, this is new territory for us. Prior to this, we were always on the otherside of it ( Favre, Rodgers, Adams), and I like the taste of this much better.
