Was it posted?

Jamal williams to the saints

 

[Pkrjones]

Ezekiel Elliot cut!! He'll land somewhere but probably 1/3 of his last contract. 27 yr old, high mileage runner. Buyer beware.

You mean ewok?

I knew it. JUJU is a half mill of guaranteed better than Lazard.

 

[Deleted member 6794]

I wonder how much is guaranteed. IMO JU-JU is a bit better than Lazard. If you are one of those guys who likes to believe in the talking heads reports this is a surprise. Word on the street was KC planned on keeping their WR corp minus Hardman in tact.

22.5 guaranteed

Actually according to several report Smith-Schuster received only $16 million guaranteed money.

Oh wow shefter missed that if so, lot less than Lazard

 

[Schultz]

Big difference if correct.

Tonyan to the Bears hahahaha!

 

[Pkrjones]

Tonyan is a Bear on 1 year deal.

 

[Dantés]

Tarvarius Moore, S, 49ers visited Green Bay. No deal yet.

9.24 RAS guy coming out of Southern Miss in 2018. Special teams stalwart. Earned significant playing time on defense by 2020. Tore his Achilles and missed all of 2021. Came back in 2022 and had been supplanted on defense. Was still very good on ST.

Clever target imo. They need both starters and depth. If he’s only a ST/depth guy, that’s useful. But his past means there could be more to him.

Yeah....they are all excited to pick his brain on how to beat Rodgers!

Absolutely the type to target for our situation.

Actually according to several report Smith-Schuster received only $16 million guaranteed money.

In a race to be first the people that can loosely be called reporters always use the contract total but the truth is in the guaranteed money. It's basically a two year deal for $18M (Salary + Guaranteed) per Spotrac. Spotrac & OTC have not shown details for Lazard yet.

 

[tynimiller]

Jalen Mills released, he played some safety for the Eagles and did so decently well…he could be a decent target depending on what it would take.

 

[Schultz]

What about offering S Ryan Neal 2.8 mill or so and see if Seattle matches it?

And boom we signed him!!!

Packers re-signing S - Rudy Ford according to Pelissaro.

 

[milani]

Today is the deadline for Franchise Tags. I doubt the Packers tag anyone.

Around the league, so far these are the tags.

- Commanders franchise tagged DT Daron Payne
- Cowboys franchise tagged RB Tony Pollard
- Raiders franchise tagged RB Josh Jacobs
- Jaguars franchise tagged TE Evan Engram

Will the Ravens tag Lamar Jackson and then let another team set the salary that the Ravens would have to meet?

Pollard is important to Dallas.

The Jets can move on from Lazard after two seasons as well with him having made a total of $22 million.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Don't get me wrong, I do love having Aaron Jones, but sometimes I wonder if the Packers should have just stuck with Jamaal Williams and used the money saved elsewhere. AJ is definitely the better RB, but at a cost of around $8M-$9M more per year.

Good to see Williams get a decent deal with the Saints. He signed a 3 year, $12 million deal. He's coming off an incredible season in Detroit where he had 1,066 rushing yards and 17 touchdowns.

Williams described the offer he received from the Lions to stay in Detroit as "disrespectful".

Those numbers are a bit misleading as Williams had a lot of rushing attempts with 262 but averaged only 4.1 yards per attempt.

In addition 10 of his touchdowns came on runs from the 1-yard line with another three from two yards out.

He wouldn't be an adequate replacement for Jones though. I would have been fine with the Packers keeping him back in 2020 instead of using a second rounder on Dillon but the team decided to go with a younger, less expensive backup.

 

[coulomb]

Thielen to panthers 3years/$$$?

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Thielen to panthers 3years/$$$?

$25M three-year, with $10 million in the first year.

I hope Jimmy G. wasn't looking forward to some hot wings and a beer at this Chicken Ranch. I think they might only serve thighs and breasts.

Here I always thought that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas?

Jimmy G is worth about $200mil & he gets offered freebies for life (without needing to get married!!). What about Joe average, who might appreciate it more?
