I’m going on record as being very excited about this signing. Rodgers is gonna put the fun back in Funchess. He will be a beast. Packer fan will enjoy to the tune of 900 and 8 TDs.

Funchess probably signed a minimum contract. I'm not convinced he makes the squad.Comment

I hope you're right, CMI, but a 26 year old coming off a $10 million contract and an apparently non-debilitating injury, it seems like he could command more than a minimum contract.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

I’m actually with Tex, a guy that made 20 million last year was injured, and is young, isn’t going to be playing for the minimum his year
I bet it’s a lot closed to 10 a year then people thinkComment

Last year Funches was on what amounts to a prove-it 1 year $10M contract. He played one game, so he didn't prove much. The contract will be well under $5M. I'm guessing it's in the $1-2M range which is what Allison got last year IIRC. Like the others, it's a stopgap signing designed to give the team flexibility going into the draft.Comment

Anything less than 4 is a bargain imo. In that price range this signing has high upside.All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.

I hope ya'all are right ...... but that then would beg the question, what's wrong with him that his market value would drop so much?What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

Maybe he realizes that his best chance at a long-term contract is by going somewhere he can succeed. Rodgers does have some appeal, in that respect.
He hasn't been reasonably productive in about two years.Comment
-
The beat writers and bloggers all thought it’d be a minimum or close to it. Certainly nothing prohibitive. He’s not a very productive player but I do like his stature and athletic numbers I guess. Time will tell.Comment

I honestly don't think his production has been that bad. He was a TE for much of his college career, so most thought there'd be a learning curve for him. He's still only 25. If he stays healthy, I'd be shocked if he wasn't one of our top 3-4 receivers (depending on how Lazard progresses).
First two years, he didn't start much. Produced about 400 yards and 5 TDs. Kind of what was expected.
His third year was the only year he started 16 games, and he had 840 yards and 8 TDs for a team that didn't even throw the ball 500 times on the year.
2018 there were a lot of mouths to feed. D.J. Moore was drafted and got a lot of targets. Curtis Samuel came into his own. Greg Olsen was still on the team (although he missed almost half of the year). Most importantly, that was the year they started throwing to McCaffrey. McCaffrey caught 107 balls that year.
Last year he played one game. Supposedly, he looked in good in training camp and had locked down the WR2 spot.
"Here's a guy who is big and long; typically you see that kind of receiver, you don't think of him as being a great route runner," Reich said. "But what Devin has shown me in the first week is he's got a skillset where he's an excellent route runner, he can run all the routes — he can do it all."
...
"What is unique about Devin is he can create separation," Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni said. "He has that, 'Hey, I can create this length away from the defense. Or I can get space away from the defense and then quarterback – not only that, the defense is in my back because I got out of my break so quick. Now you can put it wherever you want because I am so long.' So that is a very unique thing that Devin has."
...
"I couldn't be more pleased about Devin," Reich said. "(I'm) just very excited about incorporating him into what we do offensively.""There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted ThompsonComment

It'd be amazing if he could put up 800/8. I'd be happy to admit I was wrong.Comment

It's a low risk solid signing. He's way better than Allison and Whitewater Jesus. He might be our second best WR on the current roster when healthy. I think we should go WR in round one; a whole slew of WR's are going off the board by pick 60 IMO and we'll be stuck with another projectTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD.
