RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Duuuuude. packers piss ofF Rodgers by drafting Love and all that stud does is roll back to back MVP Seasons and cashes the fattest check in NFL History. Now Packers brass just need to figure out how to psychologically mind f**k Rodgers in January and they will win the next 2-3 Super Bowls. 1 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockpile233 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Not surprised at all. All the talk about going to an AFC team made no sense whatsoever to me, especially Denver. Guy wants to get to another Super Bowl then joins a division with Mahomes/Herbert plus Allen/Burrow/Jackson/probably forgetting someone in the conference? Staying in Green Bay seemed very obvious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 This is good for the Bills. Raises the price for other QBs (lamar) and likely keeps Adams from FA reducing the number of receivers when the 3 other teams in the AFC East need WRs badly and two of them have a lot of cap space. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaw66 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Wow. I'm not a contract or cap guy, but this seems to me to be a big mistake by the Packers. I think Rodgers is something of a loose cannon. Certainly a prima donna. He's a spectacular player, to be sure, but I'd bet that by his second season under this deal, he'll be a problem. Pack can't start Jordan Love in 2022, or in 2023. After the 2022 season, Pack will have to decide whether to extend Jordan Love, and after 2023 they'll have to decide whether to extend him. Have they already decided that Love isn't the guy? Maybe they'll trade him. I don't know. Just seems like there are a lot of problems built into this deal. Great deal for Rodgers. $143 guaranteed. Nearly $80 million after tax. He doesn't need a nickel of it, so his children and grandchildren, if he ever has any, will be set for life. And if he's unhappy after a year, he can force a trade to a team that needs a QB to make a serious Super Bowl run. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I'm not saying these decisions are easy. But, as we see with other positions, sometimes you just have to decide to move on to your future, instead of overcommitting to try to relive the past. It's interesting that Ted Thompson, the Packers' former GM, when faced with an aging HOF QB and a first-round pick on the bench, made exactly the opposite decision. It took courage to say to Favre and the fans that one era was ending and an unknown new era was beginning. Current GM didn't have that courage.

They're lucky they didn't get rid of Rodgers. When Favre kept them hanging, they said go away and went with Rodgers. Obviously young Rodgers showed a lot more than young Love. 😀 3 minutes ago, Shaw66 said: Well, I'm not saying these decisions are easy.

My point is more heading into FA there were farrrr more options that a lot of teams were eying. I would love Robinson but we can't afford him. Cooper is a bit older now but still very good. But teams that want to upgrade WR room will be in far more battles now that things are tightening a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll trade him. All Jordan ever was - was a safety net. The Pack protected themselves and now in a bad QB draft year - they can work to trade him to a QB needy team. They lose a bit of capital, but it protected them in case this played out different. In a deep WR class - this might get them another potential WR to help. This is the perfect year to try and trade Love - lots of open jobs and few viable legitimate options. As for the Bills - so glad we got Allen in before this off season. This deal should drive up Carr, Cousin, and Stafford and by extension - Lamar, Mayfield, Burrow, and Murray. 🎉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya but I doubt NFL teams actually expected these guys to hit the market. It’s been known for awhile now that Godwin wasn’t going anywhere for example. Adams almost certainly wouldn’t have been let go either. Teams knew Robinson was probably going to be the top guy available and that Cooper might be available.

I wonder if we let Beasley go if Kirk even is an option as he is a pretty good talent himself and if we would get priced out. I know we have been spoiled with two years of really good WR's, but I would do everything in my power to have a truly superb WR1/2/3 group, WR4/5 I am fine with projects or vets with upside.
