    Bretsky, what's with you carrying the torch for all these bitter ex-Packers?

    So the Raiders gave up a 1/2 for Adams, who is 30 now, paid him absolute top dollar. We paid Jacobs near top dollar for a RB and gave up nothing as he turns 26. One is a smart organization doing smart things. I'll let you decide which.
    I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.

    The youngest team in the league and the only team that got younger after participating in free agency.

    We might bring back Crosby yet, which would instantly make us the 2nd oldest roster in the NFL.

    Trading high picks for the right to sign/extend a player to an expensive contract is a bad idea. Especially when they are nearing 30.

    Jordy was past his prime and I think GB is the sort of team who won't even offer an aging player on an expiring contract a deal that both matches the expected production and the player's asking price.
    Great Packer in his prime but by 2017 he didn't have much left in the tank - he had 482 yards on 53 catches that last year in GB. Granted, some of it was with Brett Hundley at QB, but 9.1 ypc is not good for a guy lining up outside.

    If GB had better WR depth or had signed someone better than Jimmy Graham the next year nobody would have blinked an eye.
