I'm not sure what is up with Thomas; he sure looked good on his first team but he was invisible after. Wonder if his attitude/work ethic is junk.

I'd take Jenkins for what he signed over Thomas

He looked great with Manning. Without Manning's talent, he looks like less.

Now only if the Packers had a comparable talent ...

One UNSAID is the fact that GB is trying to extend Rodgers...and from what is sounds like his agent might be asking for

That is going to damage our flexibility in Free Agency so I think GB might be hesitant.

They have had 3 years to prep. And months since JG signed. Either they are ready or they are not.

No need for a discount.

They have only leveraged one vet to clear space and that vet was almost retained. They are ready and the only thing screwing up their plans are the overheated CB market and Cousins level of guaranteed money.

The Cousins Deal REALLY screwed them

Also, being reported they may be working in some verbiage allowing AROD to stay at top of QB salaries through some or all of his deal. That complicates things as well

And the CB need for everybody is making all challenging

You give Arod a contract comparable to Cousins for 3 or 4 years. He needs to give a little bit to ensure we can sign people down the road. Other QB's have done this, and he can too.

We could always use the tag down the road to retain or apply pressure to him . Thing is, I don't know if we want to keep him until he's 40 like Brees or Brady.

Why in God's name wouldn't we? Brady is playing as efficient as he ever has at 40. Rodgers has had a few flukey injuries, but takes care of himself and I have no reason to think he won't be a top tier qb in 5 years. He seems to have the makeup for it.

And agree with PB. Aaron has carried scrubs for a few years all while being roughly the 8-10th highest paid qb in the league. Its his time to get paid. If the Packers are ill prepared due to poor financial planning and terrible drafting that's not A-Rod's problem.

I'd like to have a conversation here.

Why give in to ARods demands? Seriously. He's going to turn 35 in 2018, 36 in 2019. We can exclusive rights franchise him and keep him around for the season he turns 37. What, is he not going to play? Okay, he's already pretty darn old at 37. I bet he could go out and land a fat contract if he wanted still at 37, but if the Packers wanted to go the replacement route, they have a couple years to get a person in the position to be ready.

Is anyone going to hold out the season for 22M and cost themselves more than that in endorsements? No way. It would be a financially ill-advised move for Aaron to sit out.

I don't get it. We have all of the leverage here.

Could this be why they brought in the kid from Cleveland? So he could be ready to start year 4 like 'Rod did?

Okay, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Poisoning the well. Also possible he would not show up for work under the tag. He has the leverage to pull that off. Cousins, who had never received big money, did not.

You would also be encouraging him not to play the Rodgers extended offense, which sometimes, against good defenses, is the only offense.

Leverage? If Rodgers doesn't show up until Week 6, no one on staff will be safe. Goodbye McCarthy, goodbye Ball and Gutenkunst.

One top QB has done this and reportedly he regrets it because the help at WR arrived 3 years late.

I'd love to know who else is signing below market deals for the hometown team. Its not up to the player to make this happen.

If he sits out 6 weeks, all the coaching staff needs to do is say he is being a troublemaker and bye-bye ~20M in endorsements in addition to 6 weeks of salary. Would not be a smart move financially if he is made out to be a diva.

FWIW, I don't think they should do this, but this notion that he deserves to constantly be the top paid player, a full guarantee, etc is silly. The Packers have all the leverage right now and his deal is effectively guaranteed anyway.

That would be a very TT thing to do. TT isn't in charge anymore, and I doubt the new brass has the brass to take that PR hit for "treating ARod bad after all he has done for the franchise".

Incidentally we could franchise him for 2 years and control him through age 38.

Also consider this: The QB franchise tag is $23.189 mil. But ...


Bleacher Report[/B] (http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1960713-how-the-nfl-franchise-tag-process-works)"]The exclusive tag amount is pretty simple to calculate. It's either an average of the five largest salaries at the offered players' position at the end of restricted free agency this season, or 120 percent of the offered player's current salary—whichever is greater.

Rodgers salary alone is $20 mil in 2020 (if his likely to be earned bonuses are included, its $21.1 mil). At a minimum (franchise QB number may exceed this in two years) he will earn $24 million in year one of the Franchise tag. In Year 2, he earns $28.8.

That is $52.8 mil in cap space and cash. The team does get year by year protection. But zero help in getting the cap number down.

Why hamstring yourself this way for injury protection when you can give him a longer deal and then bury the acceleration of the signing bonus in later years when the cap is higher.

This tag would be reverse Brady. Or reverse Belichickism if you prefer.

On one hand, I am dirt poor so I agree with you.

On the other, Aaron has so much money and makes so much already and his future earnings will be tied to his legacy. With that in mind, maybe keeping the salary 8M lower for the next three years to ensure much greater future earnings via a legacy may be a smart gamble on his part. Not sure.

Green Bay is in a tough spot with ARod.

If he wants another Ring and to shoot for a greater Legacy!? He needs to be like Tom Brady and leave CAP Space to strengthen the Roster.

I'm going to predict a minimum New Contract in the min. $35 Million/Year to 38 Million/Year Range for four Years with a Minimum $100 Million Guaranteed.

I predict that the minimum Contract that Aaron Rodgers will sign will be handy to 145 Million - Four Year Contract.

Aaron Rodgers Agent will push for his client to get the highest contract in the NFL as he's considered generally as the NFL's finest talent.

It will now be all on the Packer Brass to make up for lost time and retaining Ted Thompson as the Packer GM. It's not going to be easy but within three Seasons we might see the Packers in another Super Bowl Game.

My guess since the Cousins signing has been 5 years, $150 million with $100 million guaranteed. $30 million per basically. Not sure how to tie a percentage of the cap into that. But there are much smarter people out there than I to figure that out.

Why aren't you living in Vegas? If I had your kung fu and your bankroll, I'd be in Vegas grinding it out at the tables.

Not sure about PLO, but the popular NLH is mainly a game of chance. Say, you're playing 5/10, you have $1000 in front of you and you're in position. A chick with a stack of $700 acts first with QQ and raises to 50. The guy next to her, sitting with a stack of 2000, calls with 5, 7 of clubs. You have A,K off-suited, and since you're in position, you decide to re-raise to 120. The chick with QQ calls. The guy with suited cards think for a bit before calling. On the flop, you flopped the nut straight. Chick with QQ hits her set and goes all in. Suited guy, hoping to force you to fold, re-raises all in with a flush draw. What the fuck are you supposed to do, fold? You shove all your chips. The turn is a blank card. The river doesn't pair the community cards, but lo and behold, it's a club, even tough the chick and you each hold a club.

Except over time you will win money. The percentages are in your favor. You may lose that time and the next but over 100 hands you will have a nice stack in front of you.

Poker is about 'common sense'and Math Skills; and some decent luck (you need good Pockets).

After that it's a Marathon not a Sprint.

^^^ If you guys are all such awesome poker players, where the hell are your private islands, jets, and yachts? Lets see some pictures! :)

I assume that playing poker for a living is a terrible life. No one I have seen on TV playing professionally looks happy.

Most football or baseball players exude some kind of joy, unless you are Steve Carlton. Poker players seem full-time miserable unless they are not playing and are just commentating.

I had 2.5 million frogskins to my name in cyberspace, but it was seized by Dubya when he shut down online poker in ole USA.

Actually, unlike Woodbuck and the Thunder, I'm a losing player, despite studying the game on youtube rigorously, cos I'm unlucky and cos I have penchant for tilting after a bad beat. Fuck it, I've quit poker. It's been almost 2 weeks since I last played a hand.

Poker faces. I mean, the shark is not gonna look all jolly whenever he's dealt pocket aces. Sure, losing players do look miserable. It's a terrible game if you're not profiting.

To be profitable and able to set your own schedule, show up whenever you want, leave whenever you want. And exploit your fellow men greedily. That, my friend, is the essence of whatever junk Adam Smith preached.

She's looking 40ish; but to emphasize a more important fact it's pretty obvious her ancestry is made up of 'physical genetically inferior'all white Caucasian Genes.

She also likely has too much money to waste eating chocolate and candy.

Its not just while playing, its after the game. Some even seem jolly during the game to throw people off and then get depressive when its over.
