DAVANTE ADAMS---THE FRESNO FREAK

[red]

I don't think using the ball as a prop in a celebration (might be the only one) is a penalty anymore.

Just a fine for throwing away team/league property and taking a risk of poking Grandma's eye out.

maybe so, but i have to think that if there was a fine, then there could have/should have been a flag on the play

this is whats wrong with the NFL imo, and why people are leaving. they keep muddying the water, and each year we know less about the rules of the game

I'm with the majority here RE: His Value.

If I was in TT's Role.... I'd sign him ASAP. This is a quality WR and I'm not allowing him to test his market value if I can sign him soon.

I'll be surprised if TT does that.

Pay him 9/13 mil per and ask Cobb to resign around 5 mil per. Cobb still knows what to do when Aaron scrambles. When healthy this is the best unit top to bottom in the league. I say keep all 3 at least into next year and then reevaluate.

I love Adams but he's not a top wr in the league, regardless of what his stats say. Anything over 10m a year would make me wary.

A good WR with a great QB. Lots of good WRs.

I'm going with the 6-9, but the high end of that. I think about 9 is right. Rodgers has a way of making his WR's look better than they are. Can you imagine Adams playing with Winston or Flacco? I don't think the 8 inches of separation he gets would be enough. He has come on. He is good. He isn't Jordy good and he isn't a top 20 WR.

I went 6-9. I read his catch rate is 57% .add that to the Rodgers effect and I don't see him as elite.

But some WR needy team will offer him big money to lure him away so if we wanna keep him we have to offer more than 6-9.

I’m with you, he’s pretty good, he’s not elite.

The question was "fair market value", not what we should pay for him. Somebody will be willing to pay $9-13 million for him. We probably shouldn't. Whatever Adams is, he is because of Aaron Rodgers being so damn good. He isn't a Julio Jones or A.J. Green who are so good that they make the QB seem better than he is. It's the other way around.

As for restocking WRs, we have untapped resources at that position right now, and it seems like it isn't all that hard at all to pick up players who will be quality players with Aaron Rodgers throwing to them. Now if we could get a superstar - Julio or A.J. or whoever quality, go for it - but determining that in advance of the draft seems unlikely.

the problem is that we set the bar for wr's that were pretty good but not great two years ago when we gave cobb 10 million a year

I love this kid. I hope he stays around for a long, productive time.

Interesting chat with Davante Adams today. Used 'when,' not 'if,' when mentioning Rodgers' comeback: "It's about making sure we put ourselves in a position where, when 12 is back, he’s back for a reason."

He sticks up for himself, but doesn't complain about being treated unfairly. He believes in himself and is willing to ask QBs to put it on him. And he occasionally lets something go that gives a clear picture of what the players are actually thinking.

[mraynrand]

with the Packers familiarity breeds contract.

Packers prob slightly overpay him, and then Cobb either signs a team friendly contract or is gone.

Are you sure? I mean, I've only been to 2 of them, and it was never made clear.
