I'm a little surprised at the level of angst from the fan base. Bringing KK back isn't the move I'd have made but returning essentially the same group that was so close to the Superbowl PLUS new draft picks should lead to optimism not fury imo. Go Pack!

Standing ovation on presenting your case on FA and how the packers made AR as he just didn't magically appear and become great. Coaching, Development, Oline, Receivers etc.
The packers current short and long term cap situation meant all along that there was little chance of FAs this year and in truth next year unless the Cap Limit goes up drastically. Even then they will start off with a competitive disadvantage.

CoachDino....as I read it, we could make dramatic changes to the team after the season ends.
Rodgers, Adams, Z.....all gone and replaced with cheaper players and high draft picks. I’m not saying it will happen, or should happen, but it certainly could happen.

Thanks for sharing the info! That certainly does clarify why there might be so much angst. That said, this isn't Madden where you simply acquire the top rated dude for the lowest money possible. Otherwise, these gm jobs would be pretty easy. I would posit there's a lot more that goes into these decisions regarding tape watching, talent evaluation, scheme fit, lockerroom fit, etc.

My man TGR, you know I give you mad props but lets be fair, Do you really think its a 1 yr 6 mil guaranteed Contract? I left what I wrote here but, to be sure , I went to check if details are out, I'm once again being swayed by TGR. and shocked by the deal.
3.75 Signing Bonus
1 salary
Plus 1.25 incentives
He's most likely going to get most all of it. I also need to apologize to the guy who was upset about Fuller at 9.5 vs 6 at 6 and I ASSUMED it wasn't that close. Dang if it isn't.
Ya, they were able to push money out and got a great cap hit but they could of done that with anyone.
Thanks a lot TGR for pissing me off...lol... about this contract. Ignorance is bliss....
Bright Side... If he plays like 2019 he's worth it. What kills me - Sure Fuller wanted to run with his old DC but man for 3 Mil more or so to have a JA and KF tandem, forget about it.....
