First take at predicting the offseason:
Jones, Linsley, King leave in FA.
Tonyan signs his RFA tender if they don't sign him to a 2-3 contract. My money's on the RFA tender though, with both his value and the cap going up next season.
Jamaal comes back on a modest 2year deal. Maybe 2y/$6M. I'm not sure Dillon or the HBs can pass-pro like he can; I noticed he got more snaps vs. TB to help with that.
Marcedes Lewis hangs it up and (this part is wishful thinking) becomes a GB coaching assistant, unless Rodgers talks him out of retiring.
Kirskey, Lowry, and Preston are cut.
Mt.Adams is not brought back, to RG's chagrin.
They bring in a OT, DL, RB, WR, CB via the draft.
Rosters experience roughly 30% turnover each year.Comment

Nice try, run pMc, but I'm gonna disagree with you on most of that.
I think they lock up Tonyan with a nice backloaded contract. RFA runs the risk of another team offering him a poison pill contract that would hit us too hard in a bad cap year.
I think Marcedes still has enough in the tank to come back and play for another million or so. The coaching idea ain't bad, though, for when he does hang it up.
I have a hunch M. Adams does come back - no significant demand elsewhere for him, and the Packers still see him as better than L and L.
Kirksey, Lowry, and P. Smith you probably got right, although as I have said, I wouldn't be surprised (or disappointed) if Z. Smith goes instead of P. I also wouldn't be surprised if both are kept and restructured. I'll make that third one my prediction.
King goes, and good riddance. 50/50 on Linsley - I'll go with a backloaded contract to keep him. Despite the crappy last game, I really think they keep Aaron Jones - a slight hometown discount and a big bonus and backloaded contract.
50/50 also that we keep Jamal Williams, but I'll take the negative on that - figuring some team will offer him starter pay or damn near it. I'll go out on a limb and say we finally make some use out of Dexter Williams. It makes more sense - to me, anyway, that if the top two are A. Jones and Dillon, the third guy is a speed back.
I predict we also do a major restructuring of Aaron Rodgers - both to keep him long term and to help with the cap problems.
The Draft: in approximate order, Corner, ILB, OLB, DT, OL, Kicker, WR/kick returner.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

What Makes this Offseason so Great is Rodgers finally has All The Leverage that he so so so greatly deserves. He has been so misused and under appreciated. The way he played this thing from A-Z or where we are at at this point is a thing of beauty. He truly is a GENIUS. He has completely outsmarted and out-leveraged the Packer brain trust and they know it!!!!!!!!! LOL. You can hear it when they talk and what they say!!! Talk about “Back-Peddling!!! Things went off-script and they are stuck!!! They look like total fools and either way they can’t talk their way out of it.
Either FiNALLY GIVE INTO RODGERS and give him the support which will work and make them look like fools for not doing it sooner or trade him away and even look like BIGGER FOOLS!!!!!
I LOVE IT!!!!!!!Comment

The Media just POUNDING IT & POUNDING IT & POUNDING IT for the foreseeable future. This is what I talked about when the “Big Pick” was made and the potential BACKDRAFT!!!
Was it really all worth it?Comment

+ 1 - when you're right, you're right. The difficult cap situation actually does give Rodgers leverage by making it very cap-advantageous to restructure and greatly extend his contract.Originally posted by GB-Brandon View PostWhat could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

Rodgers is in the middle of a contract that can't be traded. He doesn't really have much leverage IMO.Comment

Have you not seen what is going on in Houston? I’m not saying Rodgers will go that far with it but he certainly could. And if he did do you don’t want a player that’s disgruntled contaminating everything and everyone all season? Probably won’t be a successful season. Not saying this will happen but Rodgers could certainly leverage himself out of Green Bay if that became his choice.Originally posted by run pMc View PostComment

This is 2021!! This isn’t Brett Favre 2008 Shit!Comment

With how players are beginning to get and able to leverage and have more control I don’t even know that within the next 5 years the Packers will even be able to run their show like they do now. They better figure something out!!
Russel Wilson basically picked his own OC in Seattle. The “Packer Way” is gonna need some Tweaks.Comment

You got Tom Brady running to Tampa and basically telling them who to get him and going to a Super Bowl his first year. Russell Wilson getting his OC fired and approving the new OC. Desean Watson calling the shots in Houston!!
You think Rodgers is just gonna play along playing “Small Ball” with Gute in some “JAG-FEST”!!!!! When his career is winding down and urgency is at its highest level. See, the Packers don’t give a fuck about no urgency. They can go draft QB’s to develop for 5 years and punters and whatever. Rodgers does care. He wants a Another RING BAD!!!!!!!!!!
More then Fucken Gute Does!!Comment

Good-bye for now old friendOriginally posted by StPaulPackFan View PostYep, the ultimate lurker. My first instinct is to refrain from posting unless I have something useful to add to a thread. So in most cases I just sit on the sidelines.
Regrettably, I went against my instincts with my last post to Brandon
See you in a few months or so when you have something to say again
