[QUOTE="tynimiller, post: 1058693, member: 6578"] Khalil Shakir just signed a contract extension before entering the original final year of his rookie contract...and it just crystalized some of the fiscal decisions on Packers horizon by it... Drafted in 2022 Shakir has been solid but I wouldn't say incredible. He's never started more than 10 games (2023), although has been active in 14 or more each of his three seasons. He's averaged 531 yards a season, with his best season being 2024 where he put up 821 yards / 4 TDs. To me one of Shakir's best traits is his hands - dude is a vacuum cleaner to the ball and rarely has drops (3 over his three years). His 3 year career stats are below...and inserted with his are two Packers drafted in his same draft we all know: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1740580546612.png"]21272[/ATTACH] Shakir's average depth of target (ADOT) is INSANELY short. That is incredible to see...no wonder he has such a high completion percentage and low drop numbers. The dud barely gets off the line most of the time for his completions. Added as it comes up in comments...here is YAC stats: [ATTACH type="full"]21273[/ATTACH] The Bills and Shakir just agreed to extend him with a four year extension worth $60.2M - $15M AAV. $32 Million guaranteed. A few of us already said, Watson and Doubs BOTH if able to be signed (Watson before his injury) by the league in this off season would get $15M a year likely...Shakir just set the level it would take if GB wanted to keep Doubs AND Watson if Christian comes back this season and his contract doesn't toll a year. If Doubs goes out and locks up another 800 yard year with 5-8 TDs...what does GB do? What should GB do in your opinion? If I'm Doubs...I've already told my agent - call Gute tell him I'll ink that same or very similar deal... Everyone knows I'm a Doubs guy...but even I think Gute would have to say let's see what 2025 shows us...or IF I'm Gute and I see Doubs as a guy that is always going to provide 750 yards a year, solid blocking and a great WR2 then I get the logic behind trying to work something out....but I'd want to personally see what FA brings and the draft prior to it. Either way, both Doubs and Watson (in a different way) LOVED to see the Shakir deal. Another way to look at it...would you rather hear the news Gute gives Darius Slayton $15M/year deal or Doubs? Would you rather you hear Gute brings Diggs in for $13M/Yr or Cooper for $14M/Yr...what about Godwin for $22M/Yr.... [/QUOTE]
