That's one way of looking at it. What I would say, though, is that we had super QBs who made mediocre O Linemen get overrated all that time - outstanding

Joemailman 06-08-2024, 10:11 AMThat simply wasn't the case though. And if you are "all in" trying to win, you still overpay him. Face it Tex. Linsley was a cap casualty.
bobblehead 06-08-2024, 08:30 AMWe’ve drafted OL well for 30 years. This is a bit of a privileged Packer fan comment here, but I don’t like paying guards and centers too much.

bobblehead 06-07-2024, 10:15 PMLindsley was still a pro bowl center. The ONLY reason you let that guy leave is because of cap concerns. You never let a guy like that go otherwise.

MadScientist 06-07-2024, 03:21 PMTHAT is precisely what I was referring to by defeating the cap. As you say, it happens every time it needs to happen.
Campbell was cut because
They happen all the time. Nearly every season “restructure” moves are announced that convert current year salary into a bonus where the cap hit gets
Scott Campbell 06-07-2024, 01:42 PMAgree. He’s a good DT, there aren’t many good ones so he should get paid. But top dollar…. No way.
RashanGary 06-07-2024, 12:52 PMYou want to make this thread about the cap too? ok, I'll play.
Obviously, the cap is not a "myth". It exists, just like the speed
He had a pretty bad heart attack in the process from what I read. I would say in likelihood his career is over. In a vacuum I don't think Hamler would

Joemailman 06-07-2024, 09:50 AMBut was that Rodgers or was it fat mike? I guess fat mike developed Rodgers so chicken and egg.
bobblehead 06-07-2024, 09:49 AMYes and no. LaFleur is running the time proven Shannahan offense that gives Ds fits. It relies on a solid run game and as you said, previous plays setting
bobblehead 06-07-2024, 09:48 AMYes. The entire point of the debate is that Tex thinks the cap is a myth and we can sign whoever we want. I was pointing out that he was a cap casualty.

Corey Linsley released, retirement coming
bobblehead, if you want to call Linsley a cap casualty, fine, as he was a good player. The fact is, though, they were as well off without him as with
