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.
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.
