Trade for OBJ??

[Dirty Sanchez]

You don’t know me...nor have you ever met me. So don’t try to speak on my “character” based off a thread, bro. I simply asked a question so you need to calm down with that.

Simmadonnah!

 

[Dirty Sanchez]

he's said he wants to be the highest paid player in the league. elite qb money. even if he'll take reg qb money ($20-25m) that's too much for the Packers without a major salary dump, plus a (rumored) trade, and our first round draft pick. forget about it.

I don’t like when players make these types of statements. It says so much about their egos and what they MAY bring into the locker room. Of course it would be fun to have him for Rogers to throw to.

I can’t think of a single player I would NOT want to pay 20-25 million dollars per year to more than OBJ. Maybe Hundley, but OBJ is not far behind.

 

[HardRightEdge]

GB is probably the only place he can play and not get into trouble haha.

Beer, hunting rifles, a casino and cheese curds. If anybody could work up some trouble with those ingredients it would be Beckham.

I would definitely be excited about the Packers adding an elite talent like Beckham. Unfortunately he would come with a lot of baggage on and off the field and would cost too much to acquire as well as pay him. Therefore the team should pass on him.

I'm sure he can still find a private jet to take him to Miami for weekend parties.

It might work if the Packers might force Austin Straubel airport to close business the week before a playoff game.

There's no chance any team offers Beckham that kind of money though.

Just read that even though he's not on the block , that if he were to someday hypothetically be available for trade, that the bidding begins at 2 1st Rd picks.

There are very few players I'd give 2 1st Rd picks up for, and he sure as hell isn't one of them.

While that is probably what they are starting the asking price at, it is more likely that a trade could be made using our first, Randall Cobb, and a future mid round pick. Which honestly doesn't sound that bad until you get to the point of making 2 players on your team the highest paid players among their positions.

¿e most likely outcomes however are he resigns in new york

Don't think they'd trade for Cobb knowing he'd be cut to pay for beckham

Ya he probably does resign in New York. However this offseason has been a bit unpredictable. I don't think it is a for sure thought that we would drop Cobb in order to pay for Beckham. They could restructure or extend Cobb to create more space. To us that seems like the logical choice but the Packers do seem to really like Cobb. So if they didn't use him in that hypothetical trade, that would seem like a pretty steep cost for Beckham in draft picks. I don't think it will ever come down to 2 firsts. But without a player there will probably be plenty of picks being used in that acquisition.

Would seem like a long shot anyways even if the Packers were pretty interested. Seems like a number of teams have quite a bit more to offer than us while also being in huge need for a WR of his caliber to start for them. But it is still fun to think about.

Injury prone?

Missed the entire preseason and first 4 games of his rookie year. Only missed one game the next two years and then missed 75% of last season. He has had multiple hamstring tears and is not exactly built like a horse. He is wiry and wound tight which lends itself to tears and tweaks. The guy is a phenomenally gifted and I would never say otherwise. The fact is he's missed almost 1 in 4 games over his first 4 years.

Bit of a stretch to call him injury prone when most of those games missed were a freak fractured ankle last season.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Yeah, when Brett Favre's streak of starting 297 straight games ended in 2010, some Viking fans started calling the 41 year old "injury prone" I am sure.

 

[gopkrs]

I wouldn't want him.

You can word it however you want bro. The kid missed 1 out of every 4 games for his career and has had hamstring issues, stretch or no stretch.

I mean obviously your narrative is set based on one season ending injury. I mean he didn't even have any nagging injuries in college for you to refer to.

 

[hallzi43]

We should probably trade away Aaron Rodgers now. Dude is so injury prone no way he makes it through this season.

Once the Packers sign Rodgers to an extension it would actually be three players to top their respective position in average salary per season.

If the Giants really liked Cobb (which I doubt) they might be inclined to trade for him as they wouldn't have to compete with 30 other teams in free agency for his services.

I don't think it is a for sure thought that we would drop Cobb in order to pay for Beckham. They could restructure or extend Cobb to create more space. To us that seems like the logical choice but the Packers do seem to really like Cobb.

The Packers would definitely have to release someone to fit Beckham's salary under the cap. Cobb would be the obvious choice.

 

[thequick12]

The Packers would definitely cut Cobb they can't pay 4 pass catchers over 10 million a year especially when one Beckham would be getting closer to 20 million per than 10. Add in Aaron Rodgers 30 million per and that's roughly 80 million per year on 5 players leaving roughly only 100 million to pay the rest of the roster. Also there's only one ball and between graham Adams and Beckham there wouldn't be many targets left for Cobb definitely not enough to justify a 12 million cap hit. And I guess you're right if they really wanted Cobb they might trade for him and sign him to an extension that significantly reduced his salary. Judging from what slot receivers got in free agency Cobb is a 6 to 8 million per year receiver not 12

Maybe it's too early in the morning, but who would the third one be? OBJ, AR, and...

 

[thequick12]

Still I've now seen 2 articles one from CBS sports mentioning green bay in the top 10 and top 5 most likely Beckham destinations respectively. The CBS article specifically stated the Packers could make a Beckham extension work

I'm thinking he meant Graham at his annual average, not his cap hit for this season.

Jimmy Graham at 10 million per is the highest paid te. Somehow Gronkowski is only at 9 million per. And I can't think of another te who would make more

 

[Half Empty]

Graham will do it. With the multiple ways to evaluate contracts, I didn't have him on top, but, using average, I concur. Sorry for doubting you, Capt.

 

[PackerDNA]

Rumored the Giants want at least two 1sts for him. Everything else about him aside, that and his contract wants make it a no go for this team at this time.
