Z Gone for a bit

That makes the Gary draft pick pretty important! This team is playing for January but they have to remember they need to get to the tournament first.

Boy, we really need some of that Berry enthusiasm.

Sorry guys. Times are looking tough at this particular moment in space and time. The best I could conjure up on short notice is some Halle Berry enthusiasm:






It's horrible news in my opinion because I am not confident that Gary or anyone else on the roster is close to as good as Z.

Preston better stay healthy and the Dline better come through. The team could really use the offense to be the bread and butter and sort of carry the day for a while. Maybe even carry the whole season.

In a year Gary will be better then Z.

[George Cumby]

In a year Gary will be better then Z.

I was thinking by the end of this season.

Howzabout some Drew BARRYmore enthusiasm??

[George Cumby]

That's one.

Where's the other 39?

I felt suspicious that he got IR'd right after the captainship snafu.

I'm not sure at whom Z would be pissed, as I think it's his teammates who vote for the captains.

Could he be mad at Gutsy for not surrounding him with teammates who would vote for him?

[smuggler]

I'm not saying he's mad at the organization. But he might not be good zen in the locker room.

I guess we never really get out of junior high, do we?

Interesting thought you have, though. A Cooling off period for his ego and his back?

[smuggler]

Maybe so. Just a thought. Hopefully it's not nearly to that point.

Didn't he just get an extension?

Not an extension. They restructured it lower the cap hit in 2021. The contract runs through 2022 with a cap hit in 2022 of 28.1M. Packers could save 15.75 on the cap by cutting him in 2022. They would eat 12.4M of dead cap.
