(Thunder and Lightning: Funny quote from Lee Roy Caffey about Hornung and Taylor being replaced by Donnie Anderson and Jim Grabowski: "We used to have Thunder and Lightning, now we have Cloudy and Drizzle.")
Speaking of Thunder and Lightning, what would be the perfect description for the combination of Jones, Williams, Dillon and Ervin?

All About the Money:
I also have been waiting for this moment. Considering camps are supposed to be opening in a few weeks, I dread that this won't be happening.

Random Thing I Didn't Know:
I honestly didn't know that part either. Perhaps that is why they are purchasing as much land around there as possible?

Restructuring Contracts:
While I agree it would be great if they could rework some contracts to gain cap space, but honestly there aren't that many players that are in their 2nd contract with the Packers. The majority of the roster is made up of guys on their first contracts. Out of the guys who are on a 2nd contract, Billy Turner is one that I could see them trying to rework a deal especially next year.

Save The Kettle:
During this time of struggles there are so many businesses on the verge of going out of business. It would be great if we could find ways to help save them. I have never been to NY, but if I make it I would love to visit this bar.

As much as I have been a critic of Lowery (and Lancaster), I doubt his contract gets reworked a la Taylor. Taylor was under pressure coming back from an injury and facing three sixth round draft choices. Lowery is a starter with little pressure from the reserves since M. Adams is likely gone, Lancaster is likely the first starter replaced, and there were no high dollar free agents signed or high draft choices added. Just don't see why he would agree to a restructure.

I see the big changes coming in the offensive line after this season. The Packers have a lot of money tied up in their O-line and it is aging. I expect 2-3 new starters on the O-line in 2021.

Dean lowery, Try Devante Adams. RUN TO Win is back. Paying 15 mil. a year for a Wr doesn't fit. So what are the Tax breaks if the city owns lambeau turf. Not to mention the legal part. 35%? What were they thinking?

I'm an embarrassed Packer fan. I lived across the Hudson a majority of my life and never went to this pub. I give partial blame to a mutual fan. When this pandemic is over , I'll take an Uber home from there.

Restructuring: I see no candidates. GB paid roster bonuses to Lowry, Turner and Amos of $2M, $3M, and $4M back in March. Too late now. Ditto for Preston and Z.

Pay Cuts: This might be possible if GB played hardball. No one wants to be a FA right now since teams don't know what the cap is going to look like in 2021. Oliver Vernon just took a $4.5M pay cut, though in his case he has missed 4 or 5 games in each of the last three years. This seems like a bad idea for the long-term credibility of the franchise. I don't see many candidates again. AR is ineligible since he already restructured and he already has been paid, with just $1.55M left in cash to earn this year. Linsley? He might be able to get $7.65M (his current base salary) on a one year deal plus a GA bonus.

Extensions: GB could extend Bakh, Adams, and Linsley. A modest signing bonus to compensate them for 2020 and an option bonus to mostly compensate them for 2021, thereby pushing the bulk of the cap hits to 2022. Risky. GB could also extend Clark but it would be hard to generate any cap release given his big pay increase.

35%: That's high, but one generally during negotiations starts at the higher end of the range. Assuming the games are played and the NFL gets its TV money, there is still the loss of local income. If GB can get to 30% of seating capacity (22,000 fans in the seats per game) then the loss in local revenue might be $147,000,000. True, the cap would go down in 2021 by about $55M, so eventually owners would recoup that amount by presumably lower future salaries, though the present value would be less than $55M, so a loss of $92M, plus about $15M in benefits. Total might be $107M loss over 2019, when the Packers made $724K. 30% of capacity sounds optimitic to me since there would have to be 6 feet between each fan sideways and the two rows in front and behind that occupied row would have to be largely denuded of fans.

35% of $200M in salary might be $70M but I don't see how the NFL could get back money from the players that's already been paid.

Was Kettle Of Fish always a Packer-Backer bar, or is the affiliation to the Packers only through the most recent ownership?

Will's Northwoods in the heart of Chicago has to be in the running for high profile out-of-state Packers bars, too.

I always cringe at the description when some people say, "...Adams has a history of concussion issues." At least two of those concussions came from blind-side cheap shots - and- Adams recovered more quickly than expected even after those cheap shot head hits. So, I think describing him as "concussion prone" is a bunch of baloney as anyone who was hit like that would likely have gotten a concussion. The fact that he recovers quickly seems to me to indicate he's no more likely than most WR's to get another concussion. Heck, Rodgers has had two or three himself but no one calls him "concussion prone". And, yeah, I know just getting a concussion will increase the odds of getting another, but Adams works at his craft and seems to know just when to juke out the defensive guys to protect himself. His footwork is the major part of his game which makes him so hard to cover. Just my two cents.
