He's still saying it is false (via McAfee). We'll see.Originally posted by ThunderDan View Post4 years $200 Million. Apparently not categorically false.

They got a haul. Of course, he's much younger than Rodgers, so I don't think we'd have gotten that much. If we did, I would have taken that deal.Originally posted by call_me_ishmael View PostWhoa Rustavious has been traded to Denver!"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

With Adams franchise tag, Packers 49M over the cap. They can create 56-59M cap space by:
- Za’Darius Smith release: $15M
- A. Rodgers extension: $12M-$15M
- D. Adams extension: $10Mish
- Preston Smith Extension: $7Mish
- Randall Cobb release: $6M
- Billy Turner release: $4M
- Mason Crosby release: $2MI can't run no more

Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up

Correct, CMI. If there is any accuracy to the $200m 4 year extension idea at all, the cap hit is $21m, which would be a $25m savings. I've been saying all along also, I think they cut Cobb then re-sign him for maybe a million or two. I didn't see anything on that list about Campbell and Douglas, Joe. I'm betting we have plenty of cap space and re-sign them too. I read that Seattle cut Bobby Wagner. I wonder if there would be any Packer interest in him.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

The list I posted was about ways the Packers can cut salary to get under the cap. It wasn't about salaries that might be added.Originally posted by texaspackerbacker View PostCorrect, CMI.

Let's all wait for the usual suspects to start whining when the Packer don't sign some outside big-name free agent, which would be of course because they'll have so much money tied up in Rodgers and Adams."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

Agree MVS has a nice skill set but can be replaced with someone younger and cheaper. His speed is a useful threat but there are a number of WRs in the draft at 6'2" or taller who ran under 4.45 and can run a 9 route with better hands.
If someone offers him a lot of money, you let him walk and take the comp pick.

+ Jaire extension, Lowry release or restructure, and Amos restructure could free up more.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostWith Adams franchise tag, Packers 49M over the cap. They can create 56-59M cap space by:

With the uncertain status of Bakh and Elgton, I'd like to see them restructure Turner."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
