Packers sign kicker Dominik Eberle. He was on Raiders PS in 2020 so Bisaccia is familiar with him.

Eberle is a former college teammate of Jordan Love. This signing is an obvious attempt to get Jordan Love to return to Green Bay.

The Packers have created $10.892M in 2022 cap space by restructuring the contract of NT Kenny Clark, per source.

Green Bay converted $13.615 of Clark’s 2022 compensation into a signing bonus and added two void years to his deal.

Chipping away to create some space...

Beat me to it. The cap space process has begun and I expect more news like this over the next week.

Excellent Article - pretty much what I've been saying all along but with more detail. I also saw a YouTube video by a guy name Basaraki saying very similar stuff. It obviously can be done. It obviously should be done, and it obviously will be done.

I am kinda off packers stuff for now, but you think losing Z, Campbell, Adams and Douglas while kicking a mountain of cap to next year is the way to win next year? We will have a weaker team going into 2022 and a even bigger cap problem in 2024. This is a perfect recipe for getting slowly worse while destroying chances at a quick turnaround.

This team went one and done in the playoffs WITH those guys.

I'm just wondering, Joe. Your point is well-taken. I don't keep up as much as you do, so I think you are probably correct.

As for the Packers and offseason, IF they end up trading Rodgers (or he retires, God forbid - worst case scenario), and not re-signing Adams, do they start cutting expensive players left and right and starting over, or do they, say, keep Turner, try to re-sign MVS and Prestone Smith and maybe Campbell, and try to be competetive next year, fielding a team with better ST and a good defense, with a good offensive line, then run a lot while Love manages things?

For my taste (it will never happen) you trade Rodgers, Adams, and later Bak (after he proves he is healthy). Even Jones midseason if you can get anything for him.

You still have the core of a good team. Really good OL (with Jenkins playing LT). 2 young stud CB. A young stud OLB pass rusher. You can build off that. If Love isn't the answer sign a game manager and build a monster roster around him. Again I state that high paid QB are having trouble making it back to the Owl.

I believe in relentlessly churning through QBs until you have a stud. If you don't have a stud, you are unlikely to win anything that matters. I would churn through them every year, or every half season, until I find a superstar. Call me the NFL's Daryl Morey.

Did you even read the article? The only one the guy is talking about losing is Z. Smith. No way on Campbell, Douglas, or Adams, and it goes into detail why and how to keep them. The only thing I didn't exactly agree with was the guy says franchise Davante, he says for $19 million. There's no way the team will be weaker in '22 if they do that, and '23, '24, '25 and beyond should continue to be great too.

Some fools who whine about one and done in the playoffs seemingly would prefer to have the whole season turn to shit. I'll take 13-4 or whatever, myself. Fuck the playoffs. They're a half step more relevant the Pro Bowl.

The offensive line will be better in 2022.

Bahktiari better than anyone we had at LT
Jenkins will eventually be back at LG. He's younger than Bakh and should heal better
Meyers should be much improved
Newman should be much improved
Turner or Yosh at RT should be good

The special teams should be better in 2022.

The secondary should be better in 2022 with Stokes improved and Jaire.

I like the idea of pushing the cap forward and getting the last couple good years out of Rodgers.


Once the ride stops, you get off and have a bad year or two and get your QB. For now, just ride it out and take another shot with the improved areas of the team and bringing most people back.

[call_me_ishmael]

I would be 100% shocked if Elgton isn't playing tackle next season. Probably right tackle with Will Turner at LG or RG. Gotta make the yute happy 'cause he is gonna get PAID in a mega extension next year.
