Rodgers already said that he doesn't want to be part of a rebuild and that is probably a rebuild.
Yeah, my list is different. It is projections of players cut and kept. But whatever, not going to make a big deal. Just wanted to chat offseason football as painful as it is.
I know the FO means well with recent statements through Matt. However I can’t help by speculate that part of these public gestures about keeping Rodgers have several motivations.
I just don't see how both Rodgers and Adams can stay in Green Bay and the Packers avoid a rebuild, or at least a mini one. Yes, both Rodgers and Adams can still get paid, extended and secured with deals that lower the cap hit in 2022. However, that is still a massive cap hit we need to make up for, fix issues and sign players. Let's put it this way, I don't think their is a hat magical enough to pull enough rabbits out of it to keep the 21 roster in tact. Especially, when you consider Douglas, Campbell, Amos and both Smiths.
I agree. It’s an animal. I will not disagree with that. It would likely send 3-4 key players out to pasture similar to the move we made with Linsley. Call it Linsley X 3
The more I think about this, the more I am back to how I felt before this last season, plus I have this season to back it.
All this band talk should get you banned. Or maybe banded or at least on the run.
It doesn’t really make me all that nervous…. I expect this team to suck for a while if/when Rodgers is gone. I really don’t care of they go 1-17 or 6 -11… both are bad. Personally… I’d like to see a complete all in right now go for it for 1-2 more years and then pay the price big time… be in cap hell for a couple years while we start over. I have no interest at all in all this talk about value for draft picks trades…. whatever … I expect to suck for a while anyway… Our best chance is with retaining Rodgers and pretty much everyone else for one more year… future costs can be made up pretty quickly if you are willing to accept the fact that you have to suck big time for a year or two while you pay up.
If Rodgers is willing to play why not. If he’s not… well the it’s time to start sucking lol.
I propose you take that to the board of directors. Don’t change a word it’s a thing of truth and beauty to the core
Indeed i meant that if they were to extend, they potentially could free up cap room for '22. If I am not mistaken this has been addressed by people well-versed in the cap.
Agreed btw I was wrong about the 'trade Bak' to get room in '22 It indeed makes it worse. A restructure could buy room for '22 but make for cap issues later.It doesn't make any sense for the Packers to trade Bakhtiari as it would either result in an additional cap hit for the 2022 season or they would have to pay him his roster bonus of $9.5 million which is due on March 20. Therefore it wouldn't make any sense to wait after June 1st to trade him either.
No, I don't have a Twitter handle I use to post information like that. You need to come here to benefit from my wisdom
As soon as the Packers trade Bakhtiari they aren't on the hook for any guaranteed money which will be paid after that point. They would take a massive amount of dead money counting against their cap at some point though.
DA17 is a free agent. There is no trade option unless it's a tag and trade.
Not a fan of Lock and his contract #. Also, tag and trade DA (if it can be done) was an assumption in what I shared. Moves to make it possible under the cap would be needed but I suspect could work. If even, trade one, knowing you will tag and trade the other in essentially the same deal. Trading 12 means you could tag 17 I suspect... so... work out the process. If that is happening under good terms, suspect 12, 17 and DEN would oblige. And the Pack gets their picks. I'd rather have Carrol, the picks, and Mariota on a prove it than Lock.
