Message: <blockquote data-quote="Pokerbrat2000" data-source="post: 869244" data-attributes="member: 7261">Great point.Again, depending on the contract, I think this is another Kirksey like signing.  Gute felt that he was not only addressing a positions of great need, on a limited budget, but in the process getting a player for a lot less than that players price would have been had they both been coming off of a non-injury season.  I'm not a doctor, but I don't view either players 2019 injuries as ones that will hold them back or prevent them from returning to what they did when healthy.  In Kirksey, I see a young ascending ILB, that has a higher window than Martinez.  In Funchess, I see a young WR, that will probably never be a Pro Bowler, but if he and Rodgers can mesh, could be a 60+ catches, 800+ yds and 6+ TD's kind of WR.EDIT and add to post:  I just found this quote from Kirksey and why he chose Green Bay, love it.“I just felt like a winning presence,” <a href="https://theathletic.com/1691097/2020/03/20/green-bays-gonna-love-me-a-qa-with-new-packers-lb-christian-kirksey/?source=rss" target="_blank">Kirksey recently told Matt Schneidman of The Athletic</a> . “I went to the University of Iowa and it kind of reminded me of that, like the atmosphere. The town had similarities, and also Mike Pettine. I had a great relationship with him. Just seeing how he coached then, he drafted me. It just felt at home. It felt like it was the right decision. Sometimes you can’t stray away from your gut feeling. That’s what I went with was my gut feeling and also just a winning organization. The culture there, I wanted to be a part of.”I read something like that and no offense to the Cleveland Browns, but I cant help but wonder how a players attitude and motivation changes when they go from a team like Cleveland to a team like the Packers.</blockquote>
