2021 predict the offseason thread

Another good move. If they keep going and get to the bigger restructures and then re-sign Aaron Jones and maybe even Linsley and/or Jamal Williams, great. If not, these lesser moves are meaningless.

Once the WR market is reset with Golladay and Godwin I could see Adams resigned. And Zadarius extended. And maybe even Turner extended if we don’t draft an OT high. I’m curious what 2022 will look like for the cap. We have Tonyan, Lazard and Alexander coming up shortly. I hope the draft is a really good one with several players being rock solid hits at positions of need. And I hope for some really good development from last years first and second year players.

Packers would be Milli Vanilli not to pick up J-Alex’s 5th year option. In other words, J-Alex mostly likely will be donning the Green and Musta Yella for the next 3 seasons.

Tonyan has a 98 catch rating on Madden, so fuck yea, re-sign the redneck.

I make the minimum-wage flipping burgers b/c burger flippers are expendable. Likewise, there are plenty of “neutral gray” Lazards on the streets of Baltimore. I’d let Lazard walk the walk of life.

Not everyone can snap a rock, but there are plenty of fat guys on the streets of Baltimore with the Kung Fu to snap it well enough. Lucas Patrick comes to mind.

Let Linsley walk the walk of life.

TRUTH................DID YOU LIKE THE BACH CONTRACT given the cap going where it is ?

It seems a rarity that GB borderline overpays for it's own guys. Seems like we did there

They didn’t just overpaid Bak, they also overpaid Cletidus Clark. JJ Watt would be donning the Green and Musta Yella today had they not overpaid Clark.

Packers not tendering Boyle. The Love machine will be getting some pt this year.

Forthcoming summer will be an interesting one, for sure. Call it the summer of Love, if you will.

My pal Harlan is reading this, and he’s like, lame. I was there in ‘67. Did lots of acids and made lots of love.

This may be heresy for a Badger fan, but I saw a lot of Watt the past few seasons, and I'd take Clark over him any day. Both have suffered from double teams, but Clark has handled it better in recent years for Watt anyway plus, we should have a lot of quality years with Clark long after Watt is retired. In general, though, I agree with you about "fat guys", especially in the O Line. My point about Linsley was more about finances and the cap - if things are handled right, we could certainly afford him.

Well put here.

People were whining about the Packers' not offering an extension to Aaron Rodgers's key protector, one of the best left tackles in football. Then the Packers did sign Bakh, and all of a sudden everyone was whining that he was overpaid because he got hurt.

I prefer to be on both sides of this fence just so I can be right later. I think we probably could have not given bakh that big deal and signed Trent Williams for less in FA. However all the things Harvey said are true. Bakh has been a good team mate, a great player and deserved to be extended.

My hot take. This is very possibly the last year of Rodgers in GB. Without knowing who is holding the line, bottom line is that we got under the cap WITHOUT the Rodgers restructure. That makes trading him after next year very easy. If its Rodgers being difficult it might push management to moving him. If its management just not doing it, its tipping their hand as far as their intentions. Of course if Rodgers does the restructure in 2 weeks so we can sign Cory Davis then that calculation is out the window.

Cletitdus can’t play the run nor the pass. Last season, he was pretty much just a fat milksop occupying space on the field. Hell, Adams and Keke made more plays ole Cletidus!

As I wrote in the Watt pun thread, Watt might not be DPOY Watt anymore, but he’s still a force at rushing the passer as well as stonewalling the runner. Still can tip passes, too. And play TE.

To paraphrase Coldplay, give me Watt over Clark.

You're talking like somebody who doesn't care if the team goes in the shitter - which is exactly what would happen if Rodgers was gone after this year. And Corey Davis? Sheeeeesh! Not only do we NOT need a WR, but there are a lot of better ones probably for less money than him.

And APB, I'll stick by what I said about Clark.

No way rodgers is gone next year even if he is pure crap this year. He needs 1.5 years of suckitutude before there is any chance he is gone.
