He needs to come back quicker. I was surprised how unexplosive he looked last year. MLF made reference earlier this year to "what kind of shape Amari Rodgers shows up in". At the combine last year, his 40 time was just okay, but his 10 yard split was terrible, and his agility times were poor. He'll never be a burner, but again, he needs to get quicker.

For 5'9", I would think they want him quite a bit thinner. I am really surprised they drafted someone like that. Doesn't seem explosive at all.Comment

Right there is where you're wrong, Bretsky. Invisible? See that short, chubby guy on the sideline? That's not the towel guy - that's Amari Rodgers. Yeah, that overweight guy. Hard to miss.Originally posted by Bretsky View Post
On another topic, while I obviously do not have inside information, such as how much money the Packers thought MVS was worth, it's interesting that Aaron Rodgers thought publicly last offseason that the Packers didn't utilize him to keep or attract good players in or to Green Bay. He said he could help.
Davante Adams clearly did not want to stay. MVS did not feel compelled to stay (admittedly it could be that the Pack did not offer him nearly as much as KC). ESB, while not a great player, couldn't wait to get the hell out of Dodge. So when are we going to see some of that Aaron Rodgers recruiting magic?"The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Tip of the hat to those who said we could keep everyone. All we lost was both starting WR, starting RT, and our slot cb. Of course some are well aware that thise guys are all easily replaceable, but it makes me wonder why all these other teams are willing to pay them....what rubes.The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

Hey I just checked, Keenan Cole is still available. I take back my fuller is our best option comment earlier.
I think Cole was held back by his qbs. He will be a solid #2 we for us.
Plus he has kr pr experience and even played a few CB snapsAll tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.

Any or all of the above could have been back in the Packers wanted them back, though. This post is disingenuous at best. One could argue they were overpaid and not worth the money and the assets they will get in exchange for them exceeds their contributions at their costs.Originally posted by bobblehead View PostComment

Sure we could have kept davante, but would then have lost rasul. We could have kept any 2 of Turner mvs chandon or all three, but would have had nothing for more important playersOriginally posted by call_me_ishmael View PostAll tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.

We do not have nor can we create enough space to keep everyone. Choices had to be made. They made as much space as they could and kept as many as they could.Originally posted by Upnorth View PostFormerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

We did, we do, and we could have - at least everyone except maybe Z. Smith. Davante would have been affordable either with the franchise tag or on a contract like he signed with Oakland (oops). MVS could have been re-signed for about what KC is paying, but I guess the Packers decided he wasn't worth that much. This offseason is far from over, but IMO, we could win and be near the top even with no help other than what we get in the draft, but I'm fairly sure we sign either Fuller or D. Smith or maybe J. Jones, maybe even land Metcalf or some other big fish.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

So there are cap casualties. And past choices are impacting the capOriginally posted by texaspackerbacker View PostAll tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.

I meant to say D. Parker, not D. Smith (DeVante) in my post above.
What cap casualties? Zadarius maybe, but more likely they just chose not to pay him big with the bad back history. Adams and MVS easily could have been signed for what they got from the other teams, except Adams supposedly wanted to go for other reasons and MVS was not deemed to be worth what it woulda cost to keep him. I think Davante does ok with the Raiders but worse than he did here with Rodgers, and I think MBS goes on to have a good career with the Chiefs. I wish we coulda kept him, but Gutekunst and LaFleur know better.
The cap can always be defeated by smart accounting practices i.e. cooked.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment
