Gonna miss war daddy. Kid is a baller. He’s a hybrid TE/WR and they used him in that sort of role. He’ll have a long career with the way he blocks and can still be a pass catcher.

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 ?
Seems maybe WR's want out of Green Bay. Packers need to figure out why, if they don't already know.

well theres been stories printed, but because they weren't gobbling on the mighty ones donger, people said it was just made up bullshit
maybe someone will pay him, but he's a #3 or #4, not much more
The class of FA WR's is weak, so a good chance Lazard will get overpaid.

I think it’s the other way around. Didn’t he want a contract this year and didn’t get one?
Which may be why WR's may eventually want out of Green Bay. Maybe they don't feel Gute recognizes and rewards their value to the team.

Good point, it very well could be a thing. I think Lazard is not as valuable to other teams as the Pack. Lunch pail player but I like him around.

This is dumb (more the Reddit headline). He never said he was leaving, if you actually listened to the interview.

You may be right. At first listen I thought he was saying he has already decided it was his last game here. But he may have just been saying it was potentially his last game here.

Not sure I agree. He said “which it is” IIRC to it being his last game.

"I came to the realization that my first game here and potentially my last game was versus the Lions"
Nowhere in that video did he say "which it is".
"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson
He says "potentially my last game, which it is". Easy to interpret it as him saying it was his last game, but he's only, accurately, saying it potentially is his last game for the Packers. No intention or desire to leave the organization, but no strong desire to come back either. Often you hear players hoping to be back, but nothing in this case.
He's going to test the waters, no reason for him not to since the Packers won't give him a massive contract. He'll get what he can get, probably elsewhere.
Fire Murphy, Gute, MLF, Barry, Senavich, etc!
Trade Rodgers. My dream is that the Raiders want him and that the Packers can still get a first-round pick for him. Looks like trading him after June 1st is the most logical scenario, so okay - god I hope the Raider want him and will give up their 2024 #1.
The Packers can still salvage the mess from last year and start the rebuild. See is Love is the man next year. Give him the season to play and grow. IF he's the guy, great. If he's not, you go fishing in the draft.
Weird that the Lions are in a better place managing the cap and in terms of young talent and rebuilding.

Weird historically, but really not weird when you think about it.
I think CHI and DET finally got some front office people who understand what they are doing. Drafting smart, taking all their cap hits in years they know they aren't going anywhere, and in CHI case have a boatload of cap space in 2023 to sign free agents.
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.
-Tim Harmston
Lions offloaded or let a lot of players go over the last 2-3 years. Trading Stafford for Goff and a boatload of picks will turn out well for them I think. Those draft picks (if well chosen) become less expensive cost-controlled contracts for younger, often healthier players with upside.
This article went out re: options a while back, seems like trading - not cutting - would be their option.

FWIW, I think they will run it back with Rodgers next year. Just a hunch.The cap charge here would depend on when he was traded. If Rodgers were to be traded prior to June 1st the Packers would take on a $40,313,750 cap hit in 2023. If he was traded after June 1st it would be a $15,833,570 cap hit in 2023 with $24,480,000 due in 2024. This assumes that the Packers did not exercise the option before the trade. If the option is exercised then the trade number spikes to nearly $100 million. There should be no need to exercise the option until the last possible day.
When is Mark Murphy’s retirement? I have a theory that maybe they will do whatever they can to keep ARod around through that so they keep their jobs through the new guy.
I think he said he's due to retire in summer of 2025.

As somebody said, he didn't say what the title implies - I think the term for that is click bait. I expect Lazard to be in Green Bay next year and maybe beyond with a respectable but not overly high salary.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
