Don't know if you homers saw this about Dillon's contract. GB used a little known clause in the NFL few utilize. They signed Dillon to a minumum wage contract for a 4 year veteran so he roughly counts about 1.3 MIL against the cap, even though they can pay him up to the 2.5 MIL range. I asssume they adeed bonsues that do not count against the cap regardless.
On the other side, it's reported that Guters offered Jones 4MIL per year for the next 2 years to stay. I can see why Jones are a bit hurt by being Jordy'd
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 posted about that rule they used on Dillon several days ago.
As for all this relief among the cap panickers, like shit, this sort of thing happens. Gutekunst has indeed done a good job, but it's the kind of thing that happens without really trying for the teams that do NOT get all panicky and start stupidly unloading good players. The thing he has done that is so great is not fussing about the cap, but finding a bunch of really high quality young players.
With the probable huge Love contract coming up, they have the option of not prorating a big bonus i.e. not minimizing the cap in the first year. Handling the cap is not always a matter of pushing things on down the road. It's a matter of doing what is smart to do in a variety of ways.
Don't worry, ya'all, in a couple of years, there will be a LOT of big money contracts needed for the young star quality players we have. Gutekunst will do what is necessary to keep everybody worth keeping, and ya'all will be back stewing and whining about cap hell.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
WHAT are you doing posting facts ; you tend to ignore the factual data and and evidence and draw your conclusions without them

Yup.
Gotta believe.
Yeah, and I tend to ignore the media pukes too, but I came across this little article by somebody describing the rule.

So the "media pukes" that you hate, make fun of, and don't pay any attention to are just fine when they say something you agree with.
For the most part, people don't whine about cap hell. They just disagree the cap can be ignored without consequences.
Supposedly the Packers have enough now to sign another free agent, but we're at the bottom of the barrel here. Guter and his scouts are going to have to pull a Rasul Douglas/Devondre Campbell out of his hat.
Plus, ideally, you'd like to structure deals now so you're not always binding yourself up down the road. More upfront money. Like, say, for a certain QB who has no hate - only Love.

Might wait now to see what players get cut after the draft. De'vondre was a June signing. Rasul was taken off a practice squad in October.

Fritz, with all due respect, I realize that you’ve been a die-hard Pack fan since you disavowed the Redcoats in 1963 for refusing to draft Jim Brown. The Packers and cheese go together like Coldplay and awesome.
But c’mon, man! You’re a professor of English, yo! Enough with the cheesy puns. Give us some elegant homophonic/homographic/homonymic puns! (No homo jokes, please.)

I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
According to Eric Wilson's IG account, he's back with Packers. Linebacker depth and key ST guy.

Not a bad signing. Probably an inexpensive contract for GB and he's solid depth. He's better than Ty Summers.
The Packers are serious about challenging Anders Carlson. Per Bill Huber at SI.com, they worked hard to get an unidentified veteran FA, and both sides had agreed to a deal. Before actually signing, the kicker changed his mind and signed with a different team.
The only veteran FA kickers who have been signed are:
Wil Lutz
Nick Folk
Brandon McManus
Joey Slye
Seemingly, it would have to have been one of those four.
HOFer
vet kickers can be signed during the season or any other time if need be
we should have signed one during last season
we at least need to have a real competition for the spot before next season
I cast my vote for Nick Folk.
At the least he'd show our green kid what it means to be a pro.
He only missed one FG last season.
29 of 30. He missed two XP's.
Our youngun was last in the league in missed XP's.
Bring him to camp and lettum fight.
Actually our youngun was first in missed XP's.

When you miss the most xp's, you are last, bitchActually our youngun was first in missed XP's.
I wonder if said kicker knew he was competition for Carlson, and if Carlson kicked well, the vet was gone. So off he goes to a team who makes him the undoubted #1 kicker guy dude.
As to whether Anders Carlson was #1 in the league in missed extra points, or whether he was last in extra point conversions, the answer is, well, yes.
I think Daniel Whelan needs to bring Carlson back to Ireland this offseason and have the kid play some rugby over there. Somehow, I think that'll straighten the kid right out.

I'm going to Ireland in May. Will take in the Heineken 7's rugby tournament.
Planning on partying hard.
If I see Whelan I'll give him the word.
