[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 491642, member: 4199"] Your argument is flawed. You have to be prepared to let players go. You absolutely cannot pay everybody. You absolutely will have holes on your team, the salary cap causes that. As good Jenkins was, and as useful to the Packers, he was not a game changer. A superstar. Let those guys walk so you can give your game-changers and superstars, those people who are (currently) irreplaceable, the money required to keep them. Also minor nit, Neal wasn't a rookie, but a second year player in 2011. Now compare the Jenkins/Neal situation to the Favre/Rodgers situation. Neal: As a high-draft-pick rookie, plays a little, has a great game against the Redskins. Ends the season on IR. Penciled in as a starter in 2011 and Jenkins is released for cap, age, and injury reasons. By your 'Rule,' this is a bad idea, because Neal is largely unproven. Rodgers: As a high-draft-pick rookie, barely plays. As a second year player, he barely plays and ends his season on IR. As a third year player, has one good game against the Cowboys. Penciled in as a starter, Favre is traded away. By your 'Rule,' this is a bad idea, because Rodgers is largely unproven. [/QUOTE]
