He had a sweet offer from footlocker as a shoe salesman - profit sharing, bonuses for meeting sales quotas, even free shoes every three months.
Fritz 06-03-2024, 03:15 PMHighest paid WR, and highest paid non-QB. He's a great player, but wow...that's a lot of money.
run pMc 06-03-2024, 02:43 PMI believed at the time that Lazard's contract was just further enticement to or comfort for Rodgers. I mean $44M for 4 to Lazard????
I
Technically correct. Lazard doesn't get offered that contract if the Jets aren't working hard to get Rodgers and pretty sure they can get it done. That
sharpe1027 06-03-2024, 01:29 PMDo you believe Lazard ends up taking all that money from the Jets irrespective of Rodgers direct involvement brokering the deal?
Rodgers
It was clear where Rodgers was going. The Jets were the only team interested, which is why there was all the debate over who had "leverage".
Joemailman 06-03-2024, 10:09 AMYou still can't follow someone who hasn't gone yet. Besides, Rodgers' desire was only a factor. GB and another trade partner could have convinced him
Patler 06-03-2024, 09:38 AMI think by March 17 it was pretty clear where Rodgers was going. Rodgers announced on March 15 his desire was to play for the Jets.

Joemailman 06-03-2024, 08:28 AMAbout former Packer Alan Lazard, and the Jets' predicament with his contract:
To "follow" his qb to NY? Really?
I guess I've fallen into the trap of drinking the extreme homerism Kool Aide like many in here after watching him play about a really good "half
Bretsky 06-03-2024, 03:11 AMThe way I see players paid, it does not seem to matter where in the hierarchy of greatness a guy is. He just gets paid based on how recently his contract
smuggler 06-03-2024, 02:10 AMAllen has done it for a longer time, but he's become more turnover prone the longer he plays. 47 INT's over the last 3 seasons. His best season was in
Joemailman 06-02-2024, 11:49 PMYou'd really prefer Jordan Love over Josh Allen? That's bananas IMO. Love has done it once. Allen has shown consistency over a long period of time.
call_me_ishmael 06-02-2024, 11:22 PMIf you're talking about guaranteed money, I would take Love over Burrow because of Burrow's injury history. I think Love is as good as Herbert or Stroud.
Joemailman 06-02-2024, 03:36 PMIt's idiotic to say Love over Burrow at this point.
Has Love shown more than Stroud ?
Has Love shown more than Herbert
Awesome post, Patler.
I get a kick out of how most people argue that those guys couldn’t play today. Have human beings changed so
Stokes will never be the same. There's hope for Watson.
smuggler 06-02-2024, 10:27 AMYes and no. Many (most) of those older players, playing as they did then, if inserted into todays game, would get destroyed. Some (e.g. Jim Brown, Willie

Poll: Did UW fix Watson and/or Stokes?
Even most serious injuries run their course in a couple of years. I tend to believe what Stokes says about how he feels and how he can do what he did
