Butkus gets head OL job. Looks the part.

Next order of business: fire Drayton, hire that Italian dude. Ballsackia?

As someone who managed that Cap for ten years, ignore the drama. They've had a plan for months to deal with the overage. They'll figure it out.

I'm with you Joe. There is a way to keep the band mostly together for another 2-3 years, and Rodgers knows it. He also knows he would have to work his ass off if he left Green Bay and went anywhere else without any guarantee it would be any better. The Packers aren't going to let him move to another NFC team, and the AFC is becoming loaded at this point.

All signs point to Rodgers putting in a lot of effort to stay in Green Bay and make the final push to getting that second title that he needs to secure his legacy on the Mount Rushmore of QBs. There are a lot of moving pieces and it might not work out in the end, but I think the chances are greater that he stays at this point.

Based on the latest reporting, I agree it sure seems that way.

I would like to think that MILF made it clear to him how dominant he'd be in the SF play action offense.

Good luck with your hopes but it looks more and more like Rodgers is history.

You're nothing if not consistent - a total idiot and shithead in whichever part of the forum you are in.

The best advice I've heard for a while.

Edge rushing is a young man's game where as receiving is a veteran's game, so I wouldn't be shocked if the Packers move on from Z and Prestone and add an WR.

Especially given this:

My top 50 prospect list comes out in a few days. 7 of my top 25 players are edge rushers.

And it's not just the top 25. Draft Network recently had 17 edge rushers in their to 100. So there could be good prospects into the 3rd round. I still think Packers will try to keep one of the Smiths though. Probably Preston.

I'd keep Prestone over Z.

So assuming our wr position gets fucked what are the chances of Cedric Wilson being an affordable #2? I think that him Lazard and mvs would be an ok combo.

He is not anywhere near Adams but might have the ability to be a #1. Low end #1.

I think we’re gonna have to draft wide receivers if they don’t plan to keep Adams. We should draft wide receivers if we do keep Adams. It’s one of the positions of need, regardless.

If we can hang onto lizard and mvs it won't be a disaster. We still need to draft a couple but that would dull the pain.
Lewis is old tonyon will miss a big chunk of the seaspn, deguara and Carney are question marks. I think our highest needs are te nose tackle ilb wr.
Oh and a 4th rd all pro tackle, but that's just assumed at this point right???

#Packers announce coaching changes: WRs coach Jason Vrable to WRs/passing game coordinator, Luke Butkus to offensive line coach, Connor Lewis to assistant quarterbacks coach and Ryan Mahaffey to assistant offensive line coach. LaFleur needs a QBs coach.

Connor Lewis was SPECIAL TEAMS ASSISTANT/GAME MANAGEMENT SPECIALIST. In his current role, Lewis works closely with special teams coordinator Maurice Drayton and assistant special teams coach Rayna Stewart with a focus on opponent scouting and game-plan preparation.

As an offensive quality control coach in 2020, Lewis worked with offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett with a focus on coaching the offensive line, a unit that allowed one sack/zero sacks in 13 games on the season, tied for No. 1 in team history.

Mahaffey was OFFENSIVE QUALITY CONTROL COACH.

Time will tell. It does seem though Rodgers is trying to see if there is a way for he Packers to keep him (and maybe Adams) without gutting the team.

Hey, if Aaron can see past his ego and realize his legacy will not be built on the size of his contract, maybe he'd consider a team-friendly deal that would allow the team to re-sign Adams and possible a couple other guys.

But if Rodgers couldn't get them over the top the past two years, how will him being another year older help? Better special teams, so the Packers win that game 13-6?
