Sounds like Guter has acknowledged the Packers might not get a first round pick after all. So probably they have the outline of a deal in place and now must negotiate who's picking up how much tab. And there may be some compensation tied up in that - if we take on X number of dollars of the contract we get a first rounder, if we pick up X - minus Y we get a second, and so on, and probably they're negotiating the parameters. Sounds like Gute doesn't want to pick up as big a chunk of the tab as it would cost for that elusive first.
Hi everyone, I'm new to Packer Rats. I'm wondering if anyone else feels like the team is giving in by not getting that pick 13. Maybe it was wishful thinking, but I was really liking the idea of having both 13 and 15. It is possible we get a 1 next year but only if they do well enough if what I have read is correct and that would mean a much later pick in the round. With the Jets not having a whole lot of other QB options and continuing to invest so much in this season, I figured they would cave and give it up.
I kind of agree
I would make those shitbags sweat. And if they don't part with 13 hold out for a 2nd this year and a 1st next year.
If Karen does NOT play the second year take their 1st and give them back our 3rd cause Gutebag always drafts shit in round 3 anyways :)
Greetings!
It's kind of a funny situation, Packers want him gone and Jets want him but he's 40 and stated in public he was 90% ready to retire so no team in the NFL is coughing up the 13th pick. Jet's QB situation is dire but GB doesn't want to eat that contract either. Green Bay can't feasibly cut him.
I suspect we'll get a second this year and a conditional that could go as high as a first next year We'll also pick up a good chunk of cash.
I think a second this year and a conditional 3rd that could turn into a 2nd next year. I don’t see a first in our future at all. He’s a 40 year old, declining, entitled prick with a horrible contract.
Rodgers would have played another 3 years if they didn’t draft Love. He only wants out because of how drafting Love changes his situation with the team. I think they should have drafted a WR instead. Love might be good, but I personally don’t think it was worth wasting a pick on a Qb when your hall of famer still has 5+ years left and hasn’t hinted at retirement.
That's the real Captain Obvious.
As for the trade, they should get pick number 13. That’s it, no other picks. I don’t understand all the BS about getting a pick back if Rodgers plays only one year. Talk to him and ask him. If he doesn’t give a straight answer that’s your risk. Why do you want him so bad if you aren’t sure he will play more than one year? Maybe give your first round pick more than one year to prove himself?
So you can waste a first round pick on a Qb and move on from him after one year but you can’t give up one for one year? Why not…
