JJ Watt being released

[RashanGary]

Word is the packers and browns at top of the list. Gute should sit down with 12 and see if they can make this happen.

Good Points Tex but Aaron Jones is a different story. His deal has already been offered and he wants to test the market which will pay him more and in his situation as a late round pick RB and not getting paid all that much with this probably being his only big contract he is in a different situation. Aaron Jones is Gone!! Not sure why we are even talking about him coming back anymore. He refused the deal.

I’m also losing hope they bring Lisnley back. Not sure that will happen this late in the game with nothing even offered thus far.

They drafted a RB in the second round and 3 OL later. Have to believe that’s the plan.

Aaron Jones or his agent rejected the Packers offer because it had too little guaranteed money. As I explained in another thread, what I'm talking about is just the opposite - a huge bonus i.e. guaranteed money with a tiny first year salary, similar to Bakhtiari who made $1.75 million first year salary after the big bonus. It's a slight gamble that Jones doesn't get badly injured or just fades away, but I think that's a gamble worth taking.

I'm just saying what CAN be done, also what I WOULD do. It will piss me off extremely if we lose Jones who I see as second only to Rodgers in importance, oh ok, tied for second with Jaire and Davante.

That was be dam team friendly

How about we guarantee the deal and then trade the motherload of stupidity pick in da Love Machine ))

When I Googled "Packers salary cap", the chart I saw showed something like a $7 million cap it if we cut Love. It's a helluva lot cheaper to keep him whether or not we get any use out of him, I'd try the guy at wildcat, kick returner, and WR.

You’re correct that cutting Love would cost $7.3m on this year’s cap. Love at WR and KR is just dumb. The guy ran a 4.74 40 at the combine. He isn’t Taysom Hill—who ran a 4.48 40. Love is slower than Robert Tonyan.

I ain’t sure what’s more fucked up: Tex being racist and asserting that yet another black QB should be moved to WR, or you being sloth-ist and asserting that slow players can’t play wideout.

You know, Bretsky’s boy, ex-Badger great Cypress Hill ran 4.7 at the combine last year. While I am glad the German Shepherd didn’t draft that sloth, that slow time didn’t handicap ole Cypress from making the Kittens 53.

Would you take less money? I am a consummate team player but no way in hell would I take a pay cut and I demand to be paid top dollar or I go elsewhere.

The only salary cap for you is income of the org. It's not exactly the same thing.

We’ll get ready to get “Extremely Pissed” cause he ain’t coming back for any deal that the Packers haven’t already offered other then maybe few dollars more in Guaranteed $ which still won’t make a difference.

Cleveland being a place I noted as “Willing To & Being Able to Pay the big contract”. If that’s what JJ needs or wants then it’s a done deal.

Rodgers makes multiples more in pay from hocking products than he does playing football. He stands to make even more in that regard if he wins another Super Bowl. It is in his best interest from a financial standpoint to take LESS money from the Packers to help them achieve a title, which would earn him tenfold what he can possibly get as a salary playing football.

The primary reason for choosing the Browns is the proximity to the Cleveland Clinic to deal with all his injuries.

Would I rather they use the $ and sign WR Corey Davis and Trade up in the draft and get DT, Iowa, Daviyon Nixon? YES!!!!

Do I trust Gute to do that? NO!!!!

This is probably our best chance! Which is a better chance then “Team Northwestern”

Wasn't the dude a freak athlete ? I'm sincerely asking; I thought that's why you pick a guy who's not near ready to play and needs development.

[GB-Brandon]

We could trade J. Love to the Redskins right now probably for their 1st!!! They are so hard up they would do it!!

I’m not even joking!!

This tells me you know nothing about the guy—yet dislike him. Nobody knows how long it will take for him to develop. He’s a good athlete—like a Mahomes or Rodgers, not Lamar Jackson or Taysom Hill. He has a strong arm. Pretty accurate and nice touch. Can throw off platform. He had a great sophomore year, but made a lot of bad decisions his junior year—after most of the offensive starters at Utah State had graduated. I attribute it mostly to him pressing—like Favre in his bad years when the talent surrounding him wasn’t good. Dude was a first round pick because of his arm talent—not his athletic ability.

Here’s why he was drafted in the first round:
