I've been through the Gory Years, not much is going to scare me.What are you guys going to do when Rodgers sprouts some Gray hairs and adopts a limp? Go hide in the bathroom ?
Quit being a scaredy cat
And a few others that made it in league still last year. EQ was still lining up in playoffs for us
Do you honestly believe Gutekunst would publicly lie? Don't you think that would anger Aaron Rodgers thereby jeopardizing the Packers chance of bringing him back??? As far as I am aware, Gutekunst has been honest in his statements as GM. I would love for there to be lavish offers on the table, but the folks that I tend not to believe are the ones talking about it...the media.
Not really. As long as the Packers work out a long term deal with Adams, their cap hit for both him and Rodgers could be less than last year. What they will be doing is once again pushing more money out into the future.
Rodgers is a much better QB though and for the length of a 3-5 year deal, that really is all that counts.
You're exactly right. I think GB would get the draft picks, or two firsts and one second. They probably wouldn't get Noah Fant. But who knows, eh?
That's another way to look at it Poker. I don't care how Denver performs, I care about GB. With Rodgers back in the fold, and almost certainly Adams, you can probably put the Packers down for another 13 wins, maybe 12 given the schedule this year. But it seems every year that line comes out about the schedule, and the Packers plow through it. Now if they can plow through playoff games and win a Lombardi, mortgaging the future will have been worth it.
I expect the Pack will win the division and the conference. Having said that, the salary cap issues really concern me. They need to improve their special team play. And the need to add a few players to get to the big game. Specifically, a quality defensive lineman to combine with Clark and Lowery. A tight end that is a serious red zone threat, and another receiver that can stretch the defense. We need Brian Gutekunst to have a big off season.
Hey Joe - that's a nice summary of GB's biggest needs this off season if they are to be serious contenders for a SB. I'd add the return of Jenkins - and that Gluten may need to add some rookie depth for the OL until he returns (although that seems to be a need every year, to varying degrees).
Yeah they have to do something with Alexander or he's a $13 mil cap hit this year. Time to extend him and that'll happen soon.
He's decided on vet. minimum
Not sure if anyone was watching the Pat M. show yesterday, but they joked about just how funny that would be. I did get the impression from both Pat and AJ Hawk that money was low on the priority list for Rodgers and that the numbers first quoted by Iam were not close. Pat M and AJ said that both of them were in contact with Rodgers and I doubt they say much if Rodgers said "well it will be close to those numbers, but the deal isn't finalized."
I don’t doubt a team or 2 attempted to reach out to Gute in some manner. However I don’t believe those conversations took place about Rodgers at all and they would’ve been shutdown quickly after the first time Gute said we are not interested in talking about trading. He wasn’t going to jeopardize Rodgers offer by entertaining calls about a fictitious trade that wasn’t going to transpire. It’s called two timing and that would’ve made our FO look terrible after all we’ve been through.
