LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?
But I thought Ted was cheap?
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Does this take into account how Ted often uses current year cap money for future contracts ?
Always decent, never great. That's what I think of when I consider Ted's use of he cap. He nearly almost always finds a way to use it up.

Channeling Yogi Berra I see.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

The soon-to-be 37-year-old Peppers is heading into the final month of his contract with the Packers, and admitted he’s been giving thought to playing again next year.“I’m not saying that I don’t want to play next year,” Peppers said, via Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette. “I’m not saying that I do. I’m just saying that right now, I don’t know. And I’ll figure it out at some point.
I think his time is up on this team.
Depends at what price.
Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.
Yes. His days of playing for 10 million a year are over. But he can still play.
Their plan was to save Peppers for the end of the season. He has had a sack in each of the last three games. Maybe their plan is working?
Sure, but can you afford to pay a guy 10 million for 6 games? Guys making that kind of money need to be helping you win all season. I'm open to him returning, but the Packers have some salary cap issues.
Of course not. Wasn't meaning to suggest that he has earned another contract as big as the last. Just agreeing with you that he still can play. The trick is fitting what he can contribute into a teams roster structure and salary cap limitations. A lot of older guys continue playing for quite a few years at a couple million per year. Spot/situational duty seems to work best for DL and LB types. If he wants to play, there are probably a few teams that will be interested. He could end up with 8-10 sacks again this year, and could even lead the Packers in that category by the end of the season. He should be at least their second most productive pass rusher.
The ONLY way they should bring the old man back is if it were an extreme bargain. Like a million a season.
that's the vet minimum for next year for a guy with his tenure. don't know if he'd go for that or not.
Since it's "random thoughts" is there any random interest in bring BJ Raji back next year on a vet minimum, if he's interested?

I'd take him over Penal if he's interested.
I may be in the minority here but I'm bringing Peppers back and I'm not afraid to pay him 4-7M per year for another year. He's one of the few things working on D

BJ has always been about the money; he won't come back cheap

I'd pay him 4. 7 might be a bit steep. He does seem to have the ability to stay healthy. Probably because he's a great natural athlete. Played basketball at North Carolina. His size is natural, not a result of bulking up.
Maybe 5 mil for peppers..... one year deal.
