AR wants out?!

[smuggler]

Can I be Captain Obvious here. You don't think we dicked over Jordy Nelson ? Whether we offered him the Vet Minimum, or 2.5 Million to return ...was shitty either way. He loved it here, was a leader, and wanted to stay and was willing to cut his wage by plenty to stay a Packers. But those offers...................

I'm sure there are other examples of the cut throat business......some valid...some not......but I think AROD has been playing nice for the most part

And I think Murphy should just shut his pothole in regards to all of this and let it play out

The Packers paid Jordy like $5mil to play for the Raiders. They hardly fucked him over. The fact that Jordy did the logical thing and took the money and ran is evidence the opposite was closer to the truth.

So you think loyalty led them to bottomfeed with their offer to stay with the team ?

[smuggler]

I think self- interest led Jordy to take $5 mil from the packers and $7 mil from the Raiders instead of $7 mil from the Packers. And I don't blame him because I'm not a dumbass.

I'd love to be paid to salaries from two employers while working one job.

It would feel pretty damn good.

how?

They were on the hook for the rest of his bonus? Not sure they actually had to pay him, maybe Smug just meant that was his cap hit.

What disease? Google dictionary Bretsky, it's your friend.

"in memory of the deceased"
ADJECTIVE

You underestimate Bretsky. He's referring to the conspiracy theory that Ted Thompson had syphilis and was thus suffering from disease-related dementia his last few years.

That's all I can think of is the cap hit from the signing bonus

“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 Thompson

I don't recall the packers paying Jordy anything after he left, could be referring to left over signing bonus. In any event I don't want to delve into that. What I would point out is Jordy indicated he would take a pay cut to stay but they never even approached him. Then they signed Jimmy Grahams corpse for similar to what Jordy would have been paid. That was a huge mistake from every angle and it is part of what soured me on Gutes early on. Jordy is STILL a better blocker at his current age and shape. He was a much better receiver than Jimmy, so that move was stupid from a loyalty and talent standpoint. I partially blamed fat mike for it because I was convinced he was chirping in Gutes ear about how TT never got him a weapon at TE and if he just had that he could win.

Yup, and we let Jared cook walk who ended up being better then graham that next year anyways

Jordy bled green and gold, and the fans loved him back, not even thinking about keeping him when he was begging to stay was just horrible

[Joemailman]

There were reports at the time that the Packers offered Jordy a very low contract. Maybe it was too low, given Jordy's stature, but the narrative here that the Packers didn't even consider keeping him seems questionable.
