He's Back

The Packers will bring Aaron Rodgers back on a four year, $200 million deal.

Aaron Rodgers will return to quarterback the Green Bay Packers after agreeing to a four year, $200 million deal, per NFL Network. 

We will obviously need to wait and see on the exact details regarding the cap number and how the next three years of the contract actually break down.

But for now, the Packers will continue to attempt to win a championship with Aaron Rodgers under center. 

Next up - getting a long term deal done with Davante Adams.

They're coming no doubt. The FO would trade him if someone threw a stupid offer at them. I suspect that stupid offer isn't coming and the Packers will continue to develop him.

Imagine AR gets hurt and misses a couple weeks. In come JL and tears it up. Rodgers returns and continues his HOF career. What is JL worth then ? Remember Matt Flynn :)

That is possible.

Rodgers' agent has been negotiating terms with Chiefs, Steelers, and Titans. The Packers agreed to let Team Rodgers do this in case he asked for trade.

Rodgers will be back...his desire for a "cap friendly deal" tells me he is working closely with Gutey to give him cap for the roster decisions. Rodgers did say he was "not interested in a rebuild" in GB. Now he seems interested. Huh.

This will be a busy week for the GM.

Why would Rodgers be negotiating with the Chiefs?

And as far as not interested in a rebuild. If he does a cap friendly deal, there won't be a need to lose all the core players.

No time for Accountants. This is the Love verdict. The only reprieve would be a Tag and trade of Adams and that will not happen. They may live with a one year Tag and spin the wheel for a SB appearance, or they may fry the rest of the collective's wiring with a extended deal. Looks like defense with the high picks.

I signed back in just to reply -

I want a franchise that has an effing clue as to how to run a business, not one that spends all of its time on its collective knees making sure a certain QB is pleasured.

I'm going to treat this team just like I do the Brewers - I'll be happy to hear they won, and not surprised at all when I hear that their God has choked yet again in the playoffs. No hate involved here, because I don't bother myself about despicable people, which is one reason I'm not on any social media.

I will promise you that I'll be back when they flame out again.

The Packers management just signed their termination papers. Welcome to the worst deal in football history: Hadl has been surpassed. Perhaps in the 2030s we will be back.

I thought the Packers might inflict considerable self harm, but this goes well into the realm of insanity if the contract details are remotely accurate, and that assumes he stays healthy.

Unless, of course, this works. Maybe this is what All In looks like....it's not just one season, it's this season and next. We're going to push money down the road; they apparently think this will work . They are a helluva lot more knowledgable about this than I am.

I don't like it. I don't think it'll work. It violates so many things that I think are important regarding old QBs and old WRs. This feels a lot like being in debt to me and I don't like that feeling. I'd have preferred to see Gute make the trade.

That said, we live in an imperfect world, and that's why bourbon was invented. I'm going to do some thinking and drinking and tomorrow morning I'll try to take all this in. In it's way, this thing is crazier than the Favre stuff, which was the craziest stuff I'd ever seen.

I'm an optimistic guy, but I'm having some trouble finding a silver lining in all this. I'm feeling kind of like the wind was knocked out of me and it's going to take a little while before I get past it.

Looking forward to reading the opinions when we all start breathing again.

Seeing what Seattle got for trading Wilson to Denver gives us a very good idea. And...consider AR was Denver's 1st choice (not Wilson)...so they might have done more!?!

The only thing I can think of as to why Green Bay didn't make this trade would be that AR said he'd retire and not play for Denver. Otherwise, I'd've taken a comparable trade package to what Denver offered 8 days a week.

I'm also sick this bails Seattle out. Yes, they need a new QB, but they have options.

Yes, Denver wanted AR:

A 41 year old throwing to a 33 year old, a 34 year old LT filling a quarter of our cap. Better get extra physios on staff. Only Murphy approaching retirement could possibly see this as a winning career move.

"Nope. Round 1 has to be a wide receiver. You haven't given me ANY tools to work with, ever!"

"Hey, Aaron...? Can we draft DL in the second round? You know, Kenny could really use the help?"

To win a super bowl in the NFL you need to have a top 10 QB, and maybe Jordan love will be that guy, but when you have the back to back best player in the NFL you’re not going to get better if that guy walks out your door. Multiple first rounders? You could make 20 first round picks and never find that level of talent again.

Now he is completely in control with those guarantees, if they are even close to those floated.

I guess a lot of people will be happy we just paid one guy about a 5th of our cap and ensured a weaker roster around him. More so if Adams is tagged or signed. Well, it’s been a fun ride since Favre took over. Now we are taking the fastest route to 2018. Enjoy the mistake that can’t be fixed for half a decade.

Just amazing how much 'dislike' there is for AR. You would think the Packers were spending our personal money.
Next year is one year. After that cap is supposed to go up significantly so it will be less of an issue.

Just maybe, he takes this chip on his shoulder a little further, ST becomes a positive and we stay healthy next year.
And MLF improves as a coach (can you tell I'm still ticked off that he's gotten a pass?).
That's a win. So we are all in for 4 more years. There are worse things in life.

Very true.

Maybe Russ Ball can structure $153M in guaranteed money into something that is not a steaming pile and he can make this $200M total looks smaller. It reminds me of going shopping for bathing suits with my wife looking for something that is slimming. Worked better for her than for me, by the way.

Maybe the numbers are a little off. I'd expect the cap number for 2022 will be low and 2023 number will be decent and then balloon into something not nice. Maybe that two or three year window will be worth it.

So, you are right about getting the actual numbers first. I feel mostly dread, maybe it won't be so bad thing from childhood.

Lol. At least you still want to buy a bathing suit.

The key to me is how this is structured and what are the outs ( both for the Packers and for Rodgers. ) I don't see Rodgers putting himself out there if feels he can no longer perform at a level that doesn't reflect what he is being paid. Not to mention the effects on his legacy.

It is obvious to me that Rodgers truly wanted to finish his career in Green Bay. I think that was why he was upset when all the contracts but his were being restructured a couple years ago.

I have to believe that this contract is set up in a way that frees up significant cap space this year while allowing an aging QB to ride the wave as long as he is productive. Once he feels he is no longer playing at a HOF QB level, they part as friends and the financial pain is minimal.

I couldn't agree more.

That said, the only way to get a low cap number in 2022 is to use a signing bonus. And a signing bonus always results in higher dead money (i.e., more painful outs in the out years) than other structures, such as using a lower signing bonus up front and then giving a guaranteed roster bonus in year two or a straight option bonus in year two.

When the numbers are released, CHTV will publish them and give the information about the outs. Some of that might be unknown: if he retires, how much if any does he have to refund is often not publicized.

Real question is how much did he give back. (Did Rodgers do a Brady?) Let's not forget the Packers are still pretty deep in negative Cap land. My gut says 2 year upfront with the rest depending on if or when he retires. Either way at the end it's a complete hard(very hard) rebuild.

Red Cross is a bad example of money to "charity". Check into the Red Cross you'll find that after putting up people in hotels while their housed are burning, destroyed, whatever, the Red Cross comes back with a BILL for reimbursing them for the money spent among a number of other disgusting things. Check out the United Way and you will find they are even worse: I personally know people who had there unemployment garnished (yeah, that's a CONTRACT you sign, and if it's a percentage of your wages they will go after when YOU have lost your job.) I was threated 3 times with being fired for refusing to give "The Milwaukee Mafia" one dollar on principle. Eventually I WAS fired for my stance against giving them my money. Their stated b.s. about "you can designate which charity the money goes to" is bogus and the executives get their salaries "off the top". Sorry to go off topic but your analogy is wrong.

I don't personally dislike AR. Never have, never will. I like Rogers as a player. Always have, always will. But for over 50 years I've cared a hell of a lot more about the Packers than I have about any individual player. I don't think AR gives a damn about the team. I think he cares about AR, period. And I think that is harmful to the team. I also think it is only a matter of time until he starts the whole drama queen act again. I hope I'm wrong. And if I am, I'll be perfectly happy to be wrong.

Pat McAffee is reporting that the 4 year, $200M number is wrong. But that $153M guaranteed is an odd number and seems more likely to be correct. Guaranteed is something agents want out there.

Waiting to see how bad the contract is going to look. Can't even put a guess on it right now. It just can't be $50M AAV. It just can't.

What they are saying on tube - AR's cap number is way down - not for one year but for 2 years. And now that AR is done -with a reduced cap number expect a LTD done for Davante - and that will need to have a lower than normal annual Cap number. Then they can focus on the other guys. Now I agree with you TGR - I am not a fan of AR's antics - both the last few seasons under MM ( maybe somewhat deserved) and last year with the leaks and the Covid thingy. But as far as the team is concerned - there is nobody other than AR who can still lead the team to Division titles - and hopefully home playoff games. Getting to the dance is the Most Important Thing - despite what people say about winning the Superbowl - one cannot win the Superbowl without getting into the PLAYOFFS. Even getting to the playoffs and the Superbowl - doesnt mean that you will WIN - ask Jim Kelly, Fran Tarkenton -even Elway only won 2 of 5. Peyton Manning Brett Favre and Tom Brady all have lost more playoff games than
AR. And as I have posted before - as far as the team is concerned - each playoff game even away games is big money both for the team and for the City of Green Bay - so as long as one doesnt have a whole bunch of dead cap money ( aka Vikes and Detroit) and GB is 28th best in that category - the money is there in one way or another. Now lets get back the pieces that we need to get back to the playoffs again next year.

Certainly. See Pace, Ryan for an example in our own division - it's all about keeping their jobs. If they followed fiduciary guidelines like they're supposed to, then this contract would never have happened. This is all about short term game, long term (after they've left/been fired) pain.

How many times are we going to bang our heads against the wall of AR choking in the playoffs? The details remain to be seen, and I'd love for TGR to do the math when AR and DA are both signed, but I'd bet that, adding $20m for 23 and $30m each for 24 and 25 , we'll be expensing 15% of the cap or more on ghost players, and that's not including the OTHER extensions that have to happen.

We've delayed the rebuild to post -2026, at least. And instead of the "soft" rebuild that we could've had with an AR trade or even just by cutting him, we're stuck with a "now picking first in the 2027 draft, the Green Bay Packers" type of rebuild.

How many times? Well, let's use Favre as an illustration.

After falling short a couple of times at Dallas in games where he threw multiple INTs, he finally made it to the Super Bowl and won in 1996. He returned the next year, but lost. Then he had another 10 years of relative mediocrity punctuated by some horrendous playoff games.

The loss to the 49ers on the Jerry Rice Fumble game he threw multiple picks.
Missed the playoffs two years running.
Returned to the playoffs in 2001 and threw SIX intereceptions to end the season.
2002 Multiple turnover game in a home loss to a warm weather dome team.
2003 A disastrous overtime interception
2004. A multiple turnover loss at home to the Vikings.
2005. 4-12
2006 No playoffs
2007. A disastrous overtime interception.

Rodgers hasn't been anywhere near this bad, and probably never will be. No one will. So "how many times?" Probably a few more, at least.

We can still field a team who plays better situationally, even if the personnel aren't quite as good.

I like your optimism. I was a very passionate Packers fan for decades (yes, even the 70s and 80s) and took the TB NFCCG loss very hard. Too hard. Probably the worst since the 07 Favre Pick game - but with Favre, you never knew until the final gun whether you would wind up winning or losing, so crap like that was kind of expected.

I stepped back a bit from the team this past season as a form of self-protection, but I see no point in continuing to closely follow a team that has its collective head up its ass. Following the fortunes of this team is too stressful, made worse by the cringing fealty of our coach to his douchbag QB.

Winning the division has never been my goal for this team. "Just get into the Dance - great things might happen!" Yeah, it happened in 2010, but under AR I don't see it happening again. Too large of a sample set, now. When winning the division becomes your goal because you might get lucky and get to the SB, then you've already lost. 1985 is calling, and it's laughing its head off.

We've tagged Adams now - great, Linus has his security blanket. We ALL know how the 22 season is going to end.

His problem,next year he is 31 and his skills will be deminishing in a market with a lot of talent out there.
We all saw that he lost a step this year, next year maybe worse

No way to know. His first year cap hit has to be somewhere between $21M and $35M. I'd guess $24M or $25M, which provides $21M to $22M in cap relief for this year. That allows GB to tag Adams, work something out and then perhaps sign several of Campbell, Douglas, P, Lazard and MVS. Perhaps Tonyan, I suppose. No clue how this is structured, so 2023 could be anything.

In one of my articles I did a mini-survey of the cap and cash other elite QBs are scheduled to get between now and 2025 and wondered if GMs know that the salary cap is going to explode, and sooner than we fans think. I hope so.

My guess is the deal is really for two years with voidable years, hence $153 million up front. To put this into perspective, my guess is if you put the lifetime earnings of everyone on this board into a pot it wouldn't total $200 million dollars.

I'm glad he's back and this should end the bellyachin' that's been going on. I doubt he would have signed unless Adams was willing to do a deal as well.

If those two pieces come into place, the next real question is 'who goes?'. I'm thinking Jordan Love might be on the move and they'll bring in a cheap backup.

This is a move to doom us for 10 years. Instead of trying to win for the next 10 years with a ton of young talent, a great defense and a serviceable QB, we can all rejoice in drafting Love. I could not be more disappointed in the leadership. I hope everyone is happy with 8-10 winds and out at best.

The Packers win another undistinguished Division Title.
The Packers get a home-field playoff game.
The Packers may or may not win to advance to NFCCG.
The Packers, and mostly Rodgers, fail to show up for the NFCCG.
Packer fans begin another off-season debating if Rodgers is the best chance to win what he hasn't done in 12 years and counting.
The last remnants of the 'all-in' years are gone without success, and many wish Rodgers, MLF, and Gute be gone.

Well the whine baby made up his mind. Now this makes the Love pick look even worse. I guess after 5 to 7 years total he could be ready to play in the NFL but I seriously doubt it. Now to see who

Hey guys, don't jump out of the window and crash to your gruesome death on the pavement just yet. You haven't even seen the contract yet....

Years back, I never thought I'd see the day when the Packers were anything more than a laughingstock, and the Washington Generals of the NFL. I'm pretty sure we're all gonna survive.

The other day, somebody in this forum wrote, “I’ll believe it when the paperwork is filed with the NFL.” Words to live by.
According to MacAfee, who says his source is Rodgers, there is no contract. Rodgers wants a cap friendly deal and is not looking for the kind of money Rappaport is reporting. Rap’s source probably is someone with the team and that probably is what GB offered. Rodgers want room under the cap to keep Adams and others on the team. It will be interesting to see what the actual contract eventually looks like.

Got very mixed feelings about this. On one hand excited that we have a top flight QB which makes us an annual contender. On the other hand, the impact on the salary cap from a 4 year/$200M contract could be problematic.

Back to the first hand, glad most of the "will he stay or go" drama is over and you likely can't get to the playoffs without decent QB play. Back to the other hand, there's the likely possibility of recent playoff history repeating itself. But then again you never quite know, right?

Time will show if this was a good decision or not. At least for now I'm glad that at least the QB position is set for a few years and our chances to win remain high.

Glad you're not in charge. According to that rational you'd be throwing the baby out with the bathwater every year we didn't win a super bowl.

Perhaps there is a middle ground somewhere between "CRUCIFY HIM!!!!" and "All hail King Rodgers!". One wherein we acknowledge that at the end of the day some things could have gone better but we had a lot of success along the way. I don't know, maybe I watched too much Sesame Street when I was a kid.

These numbers just get bigger and bigger every year.

50 mil out of a cap of 208 is 24%. How does this compare to other teams? Because of all the cap magic teams use, answering this is not as straight forward as it seems (not least because I get lost quickly in the variables). As near as I can find, the high end is around 22% of the cap going the starting QBs around the league with some starters at half of this or even less.

This is a crude measure, I know, but it seems to me that even a few percent of the 208 million is a lot of money that could be used to top off an otherwise OK offer to a free agent or two and get them to stay. Devondre? Rasul?

I said all along he never wanted to go anywhere else because he wouldnt rule the roost. He knew what he had in GB and just wanted to make sure some of the band could stay together.
My take, the pack told him this am they would tag Adams so he cant leave and Rodges said fine, put the deal on paper and I will sign it.
I'm one who thinks no one was interested in him at the kind of money it would take to get him plus giving up picks to a guy who is 39? Ya that phone wasnt ringing.

It will be interesting to see what happens with other players and what other dominos will now fall.
For example, do they trade Love? Do they now resign some guys they didn't know if they were going to be able to? I'm really excited to see what happens next!

Laughable. If the contract terms are 200 mil for 4 years then the Packers are about to terminate their chances to win a Super Bowl. They will probably drop ARs cap hit to about 25 mil for next year but that will leave about 175 mil to divide up over three years which is an average of about 58 mil per year. Even if the cap jumps the way they say it will the percent of cap hit is still going to be enormous. Add in Davantes new deal which will probably be a low hit this year but higher hits over the remainder of the deal. Now consider all the contracts that are reworked to add cap space this year and not only are the Packers still going to be cap strapped this year but will also be moving forward. Bad move especially if they cannot sign some key Gus like Campbell and maybe some receivers.

One more thing- other GMs must hate GB right now, not because of the contract but because they just gave the star player NBA like control over the team. Bringing players in he wants, keeping players he wants, hiring coaches he wants, even ithey are not the best players we could have in those positions but because they are ARs buddies.

But it's kind of funny how just this morning so many people were convinced that the Broncos and the Titans and the Steelers and the Raiders and God knows whoever else ... surely ALL of them would be eager to trade away handfuls of high round draft picks and possibly also young, ascending players, AND that these teams would also be willing to negotiate a new, extended deal for Aaron Rodgers, But now that the Packers have signed that same extended deal WITHOUT giving up any of the draft capital, suddenly now the rest of the league, who all desperately wanted to trade for Rodgers this morning, are laughing at how stupid the Packers are for re-signing him.

Terrific take, Marpag!

Like you, I was for trading Rodgers, but looking at the big picture now, we have a pretty pretty good team. All-pros all day. Besides Rodgers -- Jaire, Adams, Clark, Bakh, Jenkins. Amos and Cambell, if they are resigned, which I believe they will be now that Rodgers cap hit goes down. Potential All-Pro in Gary. Good young talent in Stokes, Myers, Nijman, Runyan, Slaton --

The Packers are one of the strongest teams in Football. Add a good DL and WR, bring back Douglas and Campbell --and they're a top-five favorite to win it all. What's not to like?... oh, the postseason.

Well, short memories are good to have. Allows for hope and we as Packer fans have more reason to hope than most.

Forget the past Rodgers drama. Stop thinking about the salary cap. Thinking only football, the Packer team in 2022 will be exciting to watch. Go Pack!

I 'm a huge Rodgers fan.
There are few true superstars - even among QBs - who play their whole career with the team that drafted them.
Informal Top 10 of the Super Bowl Era:
Rodgers - (presumably) Yes; Brady - No; Montana - No; Elway - Yes; Peyton - No; Marino - Yes; Favre - No; Young - No; Brees - No; Staubach - Yes.

I don't know how this will play out - and let's at least see what the roster coming into the season will be - and also, what the cap hit(s) will be.

But for those mindlessly just crying, "He's a terrible postseason QB", I think you either don't know football or are blinded by a dislike of the guy for whatever reasons you hold. Or possibly both.

I assess it very high - as in a much higher passer rating and PPG than Brady, the putative Goat. If other phases of the game played close to his level over the years, we'd have several more Lombardi Trophies.

Yes, I know that the lasting impression is a shot of AR ignoring a wide-open L:azard to throw to a double-covered Davante. Not a good decision, and possibly, his worst postseason game...though a banged up O-line and spotting them 10 points on Special Teams did not help.

But overall, he has been a terrific postseason QB in what he can control. I don't have the time or patience to pore over every game. For what he controls, he has obviously been the main reason that a lot of so-so teams got into the postseason and did damage once there. And yes, the two-time-running MVP will fetch a high salary. We-ll see how it plays out from here, what the salary cap hits will be, etc once finalized.

Four more years of bitching and whining by the Rodgers haters.

ROCK ON REAL PACKERS FANS!!!!!!!

Real Packer fans are more concerned with the overall health and future of the franchise as opposed to "owning" the Bears and the pathetic North division.

I'm so confused.

I always heard the "real Packer fans" saying that the front office needed to be fired because they DIDN'T say, "To hell with the cap consequences, we're going ALL IN!!!"

Now the front office is saying and doing exactly that, and "real Packer fans" are saying things like, "Woah... wait! We need to consider overall health and the future of the franchise."

Damned if you do and damned if you don't, I guess.

So far in they fell out the other side. The point of all in is the overall roster. That peaked last year. After that, chasing ghosts at the cost of the future and of the kind of harvest the Seahawks just reaped apparently and doing so at an unparalleled price and cap percentage for a 39/40 year old QB. That’s not all in it’s daft.

Totally wrong but the proof will be in the pudding as they say. Wilson versus Mahommes Herbert and Carr - think that Wilson will play better than Carr - but there is competition there for sure - but he left a tough division. I think that probably played into AR's mind. Now for those like you that think that AR is an aging QB - as I said before - he has 3 years less on his body than Brady, Rivers, Big Ben Manning etc remember he sat. So close to the same body age as Wilson - and one needs just to look at his stats. And unlike Brees - AR can still chuck and and move in the pocket - so RELAX - and remember you gotta get to the dance to have a chance. ""What Rodgers has accomplished over the past three seasons has arguably been one of the best three-year stretches for a quarterback in NFL history. Rodgers has completed 67.1% of his passes for 12,416 yards with 111 touchdowns to just 13 interceptions for a 109.2 passer rating. Rodgers has thrown 85 touchdown passes to nine interceptions since the start of the 2020 season with a 116.7 passer rating, all first in the NFL. """"

marpag,how many all ins do need "the best QB ever played this game" to win it all?

Tom Brady 6 SB. That is all you need to know.

All in should be one and done, not every year. Packers did all in last season. And, if numbers are correct wont be able to do so for decades.

If you do not understand that, I can not help you.

All you need to know - most playoff losses by quarterbacks - NFL - Peyton Manning Tom Brady Brett Favre. You got to get to the playoffs in order to get a W or an L - But that is beyond your comprehension. You are nothing but a spoiled Packer fan. Which is OK but when your obtuse criticism without looking at the facts spirals into vitriol against Management, Coaches and Players - need to draw the line somewhere. Do Iike or did I like AR's leak last year NO - do I like his Vaccine BS - absolutely hated it - Do I like his on the field demeanor ( especially the last few MM years ) NO - but one takes the good with the bad and when he is good he is very very good and that is what matters in this league that is about winning and getting to the DANCE.

Ugh. A good 20-25% of the cap for a guy more known for what he doesn’t do (like throw to open receivers, win playoff games or get immunized)? For a guy who can “own” the Bears, beat the Vikings and the Lions but folds against the toughest teams in the toughest games? Makes no sense. I’m thinking there was just no market for this chump outside the GB front office.

I’ll be happy to do something else on Sundays until he’s gone.

This day will be talked about for years. Either for what could have been or GBP Superbowl winners. Bring out the Raiders Of The Lost Ark meme "You chose wrongly... You chose wisely meme. Anything in between will be failure. And the failure rate is high.

Reportedly what Broncos gave Seattle for Wilson shortly after report on Rodgers. Packers would have got at least that much for Rodgers.

@AdamSchefter
Trade package:

Seattle gets QB Drew Lock, TE Noah Fant, DL Shelby Harris, two first-round picks, two second-round picks and a fifth-round pick.

Denver gets Russell Wilson and a fourth-round pick.

The Denver/Seattle trade hurt both teams.

Denver gave up two fairly decent players and a ton of picks, which will weaken them during the Wison era.

Seattle got a ton of picks but don't have a QB and we know you can't win without one.

Neither of them will be better than the Packers over the next four years.

It helps that their president/CEO doesn't meddle in personnel and coaching decisions like ours does....Who would you take--Schneider and Carroll, or Tweedle Dee (Murphy, no I don't care about his net worth) and Tweedle Dum (MLF)?....I love the deal Seattle made, and right now I'm kind of bitter that we didn't make that kind of deal, which probably would have even been better with Rodgers involved.

That's a valid point, but I think Denver is going to need more than Wilson to wrest control of that division. Wilson may not be able to use his legs the way he once did as he gets older, and we saw a little bit of that last season.

That didn't take long.......Who do you think has the better GM Denver will receive the nine-time Pro Bowler and a fourth-round pick in exchange for two first-round selections, two second-round choices, a fifth-rounder, QB Drew Lock, tight end Noah Fant, and defensive lineman Shelby. That's a lot of talent at a low price and we would have been set for years. Is all this code for we "f'ed" up with Jordan Love? We got an aging stat master, and Seattle got the prize. Aaron the coward steps down in the big games on the big stage just like an old past his prime golfer in a major. Sure we'll see 30 TD's if he's healthy and some nice stats but why in the hell would you think he'll play big on the big stage. Ah........Murphy just wants no pain since he's in the 9th inning of his tenure. He had us over pay for Cobb and Big Dog, who's next Jordy?

Yes, they'll have to eat their words if #12 actually does a reasonable deal so his buddies can be back. I mean at this point, why not? He can get offered the largest contract in the league and get the respect owed him and then say, let's make this work for the team, so this isn't a rebuild. It's the only thing that makes sense if he wants to play in Green and Gold and finish his career with one team. He's said a number of times that was important to him.

Those of you who are regulars will know my posts and are probably bored shitless by my rants, but here is my final post for awhile. I posted most of this above as a reply to an optimist post by someone whose opinion I respect, so pardon me for the repetition.

Why pull back from supporting the Packers?

I was a very passionate Packers fan for decades (yes, even the 70s and 80s) and took the TB NFCCG loss very hard. Too hard. Probably the worst since the 07 Favre Pick game - but with Favre, you never knew until the final gun whether you would wind up winning or losing, so crap like that was kind of expected.

I stepped back a bit from the team this past season as a form of self-protection, but I see no point in continuing to closely and/or rabidly follow a team that has its collective head up its ass. Following the fortunes of this team is too stressful, made worse by the cringing fealty of our coach to his douchbag QB. IMO, the future looks bleak because of the incredible short-sightedness of Murphy and Gutekunst, whom I believe has set this franchise back 30+ years.

Winning the division has never been my goal for this team. "Just get into the Dance - great things might happen!" some of you say. Yeah, it happened in 2010, but under AR I don't see it happening again. Too large of a sample set, now, and a total resistance to change by the QB - remember "Illusion of Complexity"? As has been noted, that disappeared when AR was given more input into the offense. When winning the division becomes your goal because you might get lucky and get to the SB, then you've already lost. 1985 is calling, and it's laughing its head off.

And now we've tagged Adams - great, Linus has his security blanket. We ALL know how the 22 season is going to end.

As you know, I have similar views. My gut reaction is that I can’t invest in a franchise that is so badly managed that they would not only mortgage the farm but massively overpay for it I suspect. We are assigning an incredible amount of cap two aging players based upon the past and paid for by the future. Generally a lousy bet and lastingly painful.

Im going to let it lie fallow for a few days, but right now following this leadership off the cliff seems a bad idea. I genuinely believe that this will prove ugly and get there sooner than people think. Hard to get excited about a few draft picks in this mess at this point.

It's only money. Rodger's would have retired. We now know Love was the wrong pick. And this draft could fall the same way per 2020. The top guys will be gone by 25. Mix in 3 OL. 3 Wrs. And that leaves Gutey with a reach. We need to stretch the Field. The only way to change a dismal future, is get more weapons.
