[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1028494, member: 7261"] While I agree with both of you about the possibility that Savage could turn out to be a solid player, in the right situation, I would be very cautious if I was a team signing him. I can't help but think about 2 recent Packers that fit that same scenario, Damarious Randall and Ha Ha Clinton Dix. Even Josh Jackson to some extent. We as Packer fans wanted to believe that it might not be the player, as much it was the situation, that influenced a high draft pick to not perform at a consistently high level. The fact that the Packers exercised the 5th year option on Savage in 2022, leads me to believe that at that time, they felt they had a solid player. Conversely, his play in 2023 and the fact that he is most likely hitting Free Agency, tells me that the Packers have had second thoughts. Now maybe they just could work out a deal and Savage wanted to test the Free Agency waters, but any contract the Packers offer him should be structured around his 2023 play, with few guarantees and lots of incentives. If you sat down with Gute and MLF over several beers, you might get their full and honest opinion as well as some history on Savage. However, until that day, all we can do is draw conclusions from their actions or inactions. [/QUOTE]
