Ok. I'll first say....these are the deals you do to win da Title.
Your team was really good last year.
You won 12 games iirc.
But.....1-5 in da division.
A fingerNAIL away from 75/25 chance at going 0-6 in division.
I will concede we don't know if Santos would have made the FG.......
Youre close....def a top 8 team in NFC(division winners, and second place candidates in each division.... I believe almost everyone could make this argument...) because we all have to avoid injuries, regression and be rewarded by the football gods w/just a little bit of luck.....
But you and da Lions have to now be neck and neck to win division.
I give the Bears a 2-3/10 shot to win the division. Vikings 1/10.
This is a gamble. That cannot be denied.
If the salary cap did not matter, as some people claim, there's no reason that Kansas City would've traded us a 31-year-old future Hall of Fame guard for a fifth round pick iirc.
It basically made Ben Johnson throw out any play that requires Caleb Williams to hold the ball for more than three seconds against your team.
Your run defense is going to be key and you just lost the anchor of your line.
I made my feelings known that it would be very nice to get Mike Parsons but I also wouldn't be sad if we didn't get him because of the future investment of pics and the money required to do so..... and that is with a rookie quarterback on a rookie pay scale.......your QB is one of the highest paid football players in the league.....
We will see if it works out, but I just wanted to put this out there as a discussion as to which of you believes it is worth it and who really is worried or because of the implications of the future...... Khalil was amazing for us for one year and then he got hurt and was a shell of himself afterwards.........
Because of the knee injury that Prescott suffered....Jerruh....couldn't live with the possibility of that happening to 2 players in a row.....with that much money on the line.
This trade just made our already ridiculously tough division much more difficult for 3 of us.
But....winning and beating you guys will be much sweeter with Micah Parsons on your team.....
Feel free to discuss.......
Hey Caleb. So initially for myself, it was absolutely shocking. It’s so unlike the Packers to do a “Khalil Mack” like trade. NOW we’re getting into the contract structure and it’s very interesting. So it’s basically what Rodgers would call a
1-3-1. There’s actually an “out”. After 1 year. If my math is correct it’s a 1-yr $44Mil if released by March 2026. However that’s including the $9.97Mil we applied already. So another $34Mil. He’s on a 1-year trial in some respects. Yet it’s highly unlikely Micah doesn’t jive or perform, but I’ll through that safety net out there because it’s important.
Now. If Micah is NOT traded before starting league year 2026? The Packers own his butt for like 3 more years. So the 1-yr engagement turns into a Marriage.
What’s also cool is GB would have the ability to trade him when he just turns 30yrs old. Assuming he never peaks (the bulk of Edge players do after year 4) and if just performs about similar? What do you think a team will trade for a premier Edge Rusher that just flipped 30yrs old? Two Day 1’s? A Day 1 and a good Starter? A Day 1 and 2nd Rounder? A 1st/2nd/3rd?
This was an absolutely positively brilliant acquisition. Don’t let ANYONE fool you. The ONLY reason Dallas traded Micah is because it got personal. My personal belief based on each interview? Jerry asked Micah to fire his agent after his agent told Jerry to shove it! It got nasty between Agent Vs Owner.
By total coincidence Mulughette just happens to be at Jordan Loves wedding and there’s some behind the scenes talk. Gute stews up and makes a reasonable offer probably a pair of Day 1’s and a Day 2 pick swap or similar. After consideration Jerry asks for a player also. We consider it and counter including player but retracting the Day 2 selection. Preseason ends and Micah Camp holds out. To avoid publicity comes the fake story (with a thread of truth about a crappy Run D) and voila. Here we are with possibly the best Defender in the NFL this side of Myles Garrett for at least 1 to 4 seasons.
