he went to butte comm college...lol
From what I've read, it's essentially a three year, $50 mil/year deal. Yeah there are cap adjustments and deferrals. But Cap has a point in that there are essentially two more years. If Rodgers plays three years, and I think he will, there's no money to defer to years 4 and 5, right? I may be wrong on this and maybe Cap can clear it up.
If that's the case then the Packers will have made an expensive mistake. I fully expect a SB in this timeframe. They have a talented roster around Rodgers. Time to make it happen.
Well said. I actually think the Adams trade will work out well for the Packers. They need a veteran WR and one from the draft, and they can resign MVS, Douglas, and Tonyan now. I'm optimistic.
I agree. Adams' discontent almost surely goes back to last season when he very likely wanted an extension and was probably given the cold shoulder. He was classy about it and stayed the good soldier and continued to play at another level. I'm sure he's known for at least a year he was never coming back to GB, and if he felt that way, Rodgers most certainly knew. I know Rodgers isn't happy about losing Adams, but they were both treated pretty poorly by the FO considering their talent and importance to the success of the team. Prima donnas? Sure, but they earned that right too.
Maybe the difference with Rodgers was that he's older, he's been here longer, he's more comfortable, he's more settled in. I never got the vibe that he really wanted to leave, just that he felt unappreciated.
We might have beaten the 49ers this year if Dillon hadn't gotten injured and couldn't play the second half. I wouldn't say they can't win a Super Bowl, but I'm done expecting them to. I know, someone said you should never expect a team to win a Super Bowl. But they had the #1 seed two consecutive years, you'd think they could cash one of them in to at least get there. Especially since under the new rules the last few years, the #1 seed is the only team that gets a bye. But they couldn't leverage that into a couple of home wins.
I like your thinking. My hope is that they don't lose Tonyon. I don't know how the knee injury will affect his play and his marketability.
Sounds like they resigned him.
Thanks. Yeah I hope they resign Tonyan - maybe a one year "prove you're healthy" deal. He wasn't playing as well as the prior season when he tore his ACL. Even so he looks like the kind of split-the-seam TE the Packers have been missing since Finley. They have a big, blocking TE in the ageless Lewis. DeGuarra is still an unknown but deserves at least this year. Tonyan is the offensive TE. And TEs are critical in MLF's system so they need him back. And I think that will happen.
I should have read all the new posts before responding to GB. Thanks Poker. This is the logical move. It probably works out best for GB, although his return is uncertain. He was developing very well and running great routes. And he catches the ball and scores a lotta TDs. Details, details.....Sounds like they resigned him.
As long as the price wasn't too high, I think a smart move for both the Packers and Tonyan. He can ease his way back into an offense he knows well. If he has a great year, he cashes in on it in 2023. If he can't come back strong, the Packers hopefully didn't invest too much in him.
Sources: Packers TE Tonyan stays on 1-year deal
Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan, who played just eight games last season before tearing his ACL, is staying with the team on a one-year deal, sources confirmed with ESPN.www.espn.com
Close enough. Wow. Well, I still think it was the right move. The question now is who he throws to......
And I've seen reports that if he walks after 3 years, GB is left with $76 mil in dead cap in 2025. That sounds like a 5 year deal to me, if true.
I've seen the same number thrown around and unless spotrac is wrong, that number is way off.
