I wasn’t too far off, Florio says he will receive 32 million over the first 2 years, I had him making 34 with the above numbers. So those cap numbers should be pretty close, give or take a million each yearOriginally Posted by red

Once the bigger name WRs get extensions Davante's will look like a bargain.
One down. One to go.
Perhaps Burnett should be in this group as well?
Yeah, that alone makes him a #1 WR.
HOFer
Let him walk
Yet if we let him get to FA (like Lang) and someone offered him 4yrs for $60million you would bitch at TT for letting him hit FA.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
I can only think of one short stint where we struggled at center. TT has drafted/developed 3 starting centers currently in NFL.

The truth will set you free.
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.

Yes, but you could say that's the point. The loser teams pay Rodgers money for Flacco or Luck or Stafford - and in most cases, regret it later. Are we glad in hindsight that the Packers paid that much to Nelson and Cobb? Could we maybe have combined that money and gotten a real superstar like Julio Jones or A.J. Green - I'd take one of them over the two we had any day. The comparison isn't Jeffries; It's whoever is the best FA WR coming available this year or next.
What I really want is for Ted to sign Jimmy Graham. I hope breaking the bank on Adams doesn't prevent that.
On a positive note, though, Aaron Rodgers supposedly wanted Adams re-signed - sooner rather than later. I just hope he wants Graham also, and communicates that.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
You don’t think Sea will tag Graham and let him just walk in FA. The GM must be a TT disciple letting “good” players walk in FA.

They might tag him; I read one story that they will likely let him try free agency. Their GM in fact IS a TT disciple, right? Getting a star quality TE for Rodgers to throw to would do wonders for the Packers. There are a few other good ones around, but Kelce - who ain't available now - is the only other star quality I can think of. And TEs tend to last longer than WRs or some other positions - e.g. Tony Gonzales, Jason Witten, Antonio Gates.

the going rate is the going rate. you pay it or pay the franchise tag price which kills you (see kirk cousins) or even worse lose that player. cobb and nelson have been great with rodgers on the field. julio and green were resigned early like adams was. they were never going to be allowed to hit free agency.
graham is interesting. we should kick that tire.

This is usually true. I'd amend it by saying that difference makers will never be allowed to leave until their 3rd or 4th contract, making them over 30 years old. The old saying that "you'd rather let a player leave a year too soon rather than a year too late" is very true. The biggest exception to this rule is the difference making RB that may not make it to his 2nd contract because of shelf life.
3rd contract...much iffier.
true. tex was referencing jones/green's first contract extensions so that what i was referencing. when their next extensions come up we'll see what atl and cin decide to do. at this point i can't imagine they'll be allowed to go then either. they both two years left.
Correct, but he usually lets them walk.
I donno. The communication on defense is better when he is back there. If we get a new DC - god willing - his leadership would be welcome.
HOFer
He’s been back there all year and the last and the last
The communication with him is bad
If there is a new DC, Burnett will be a probowler.
No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.
He missed a couple games this year and it showed. They are bad with him and worse without him. Jones is a tough tackling moron. If he gets astronomically smarter between now and August you can let him go. That’s a pretty big if.
