If true I really hate this move. He's young enough and been our best CB since coming to town (mainly cuz Jaire looks like Estus Hood lately).
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
How do you know if you hate it until we know what we got back?Originally Posted by bobblehead
3rd for Douglas and a 5th round pick

Because I knew it wasn't a 1st and he should be a guy in the future plans to win.

Meh, he's no spring chicken anymore. His current contract is a nonstarter for 2024 so he'd have to have been agreeable to a sizeable restructure. Move ahead with the youth movement at this point in time.
A gm that would give up a first for Douglas would be tarred, feathered and beheaded before being burned at the stake.
Why would any competent GM’s include a 29 year old, slightly above average, cornerback in their big plans for the future. This team is probably 2-3 years away from being decent. That’ll put Rasul at 31-32 years old.
He is the 10th best CB in the NFL according to PFF. $11.6 for his last year is a nonstarter?? Man, who should we pay then?
Yes, I know no one would give a first which is why I knew I hated this deal. Duh...exactly what I was saying.
With an added year together and a new LT in the draft this team could make noise in next year. This isn't 1989 where rebuilds take years. It can be fast. See Lions, Detroit.
And he isn't slightly above average, he is top 10 based on metrics. He is not 29, he is 28. He is also a relentless studier who taught Jaire how to film study. I can see where thats not the guy you want around younger players. Maybe sign Antonio Brown to build the locker room.
Thats a lot of mistakes in one post. I'll cut you some slack and assume post #8 will be more accurate. At least get the age right. Thats easy to google.

HATE IT MORE
We got a F'CKIN 3rd round draft pick back
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 ?
I might have kind of expected this if Stokes was back and playing. But with Stokes out, we're looking at Valentine. Been a while since a Packers season appeared to be over before it was half over.

I read we got a third and gave back a fifth with Douglas. That to me is pretty hateable.
If we got the fifth plus the third rather than giving back a fifth, then it isn't quite so bad, but still a negative thing.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
I just updated my post after reading another site. Considering Douglas is 29 and was a FA pickup, I think it is a good trade.
Do we need to outline Gutebag's 3rd round picks again ?

Now Preston?
Pretty sure that's it. Trading deadline is here.

They redid Preston's contract this year and made it look like he'd be here at least this year if not next as well. I think with Enagbare's issues in run defense, plus LVN's and Brenton Cox's inexperience they want to keep him around. Trading away 2 starters on defense would be tough.
Huber reporting the same over at SI.
Rasul is a good player, with another year on his deal so he has value.
As others have pointed out he's aging and by the time the next window opens for GB (2025) he'll be gone anyway. I'm fine with the move, they should either sit still or be sellers this year.
I don't think it's a bad trade, GB will have 5 picks inside the top 100 and they get him off the books capwise. Valentine will see time and he's not ready for primetime but I think it will be good development for him.
He was a tough fit with Stokes and Jaire being boundary corners as well.
He'll be missed in the locker room and on the field. He was a good interview from what I've seen. Gets to play for a contender in the AFC, so good for him. The losing was wearing on him. Enjoyed watching him play for GB and I wish him health and luck going forward.
Given Packers recent draft history, should have given Bills their 3rd and taken a 5th.
