    Is Rodgers 37 or 32? Do you want 2 years of opportunity or 5-7? I want talent for the duration of Rodgers tenure, not just 2 years and you are right about Sherman on the decline.

    i'm not saying go nuts, but for the next 5 years do whatever it takes and live with the consequences later. the way the cap jumps every year it's not like it would be horribly painful to fix later on anyway. my biggest concern is Rodgers getting to the point that he quits out of frustration. you ready to have randy wright 2.0 more sooner than later?

    Nothing I've ever heard from AR suggests he's going to quit bc of frustration. Even his all-in comments at seasons end were suggestively positive. "We just have to make sure....". And just recently he talked up Brady and his workout regiment to stay healthy. If AR can stay healthy he'll play, imo.

    Now don't get me wrong, I want a positive attitude from AR while he plays. But as long as TT is active in FA (which nobody can say he hasn't been, this off season), I think that'll keep AR happy. His all-in comment seems to have woken TT. Bc let's be honest, teams can't go all-in every year by definition. You can argue spending every last dime every season, but even AR knows some of that money is going to his next contract and Davante's etc, so its not realistic. As long as TT continues to utilize FA like he has done this off season, AR will be happy and hopefully play well into his 40s.

    he hasn't...but his all-in was a warning.
    like i said...i'm not saying go nuts.
    all he's done is plug holes he created with similar players. the team hasn't got better...yet.

    maybe the draft will help.

    He is already OK with the approach, even before the attempt to sign more Ego.

    On @WildeAndTausch: Aaron Rodgers tells @EvanDaniels #Packers fans "should be really excited." Are you, based on how the offseason's gone?
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
