Man, Tex, if I lived in your world, I'd be shacking up with Drew Barrymore.

Man, Tex, if I lived in your world.....

This, alone, is such a frightening concept, I think I'm done with the internet today.

Man, Tex, if I lived in your world, I'd be shacking up with Drew Barrymore.

She's how old? How much younger than you? Welcome to my world hahahaha.

[Fritz]

She is fourteen years younger than I am.

In 1962, that would've been just fine.

Red, I try to keep my fantasies in the realm of age-appropriate. Why? I'm not sure, since they are only fantasies. But yes, I sure have heard of Margo Robbie. Whew. She is fine.

: #Packers star WR Davante Adams has informed the team he won’t play on the franchise tag, and the sides remain far apart on a long-term deal, per sources. It’s all coming to a head. Something has to give.

Could we see a trade? And is this what is holding the Rodgers contract up?

[Joemailman]

Looks like Preston Smith signing new contract.

@TomSilverstein

#Packers OLB has signed a five-year extension worth $53.5 million of new money. He can make $75 million total. By signing the deal, the Packers will save $8 million in salary cap money. He'll make $14 million in the first year and $27 million over two years. Signing bonus of $12M

Smith's deal is 4 years of new money, 5 total. His $8 million reduction in salary cap leaves the #Packers about $36 million over. If they release Za'Darius Smith they will get another $15M gain. Aaron Rodgers' deal has not been submitted but will lower the cap considerably.

Yeah, perhaps AROD is using his influence to get his friend resigned? It may get interesting..

A lot of news today.

The Green Bay Packers are expected to retain veteran cornerback Rasul Douglas in free agency, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly. Douglas and the Packers have mutual interest in extending their working relationship following an outstanding season, per sources.

So to summarize:

Preston Smith signed to extension, creating 8M of salary cap room.

Davante Adams reportedly will not play under the franchise tag.

Rasul Douglas reportedly expected to stay with Packers.

Z is gone. Saves 15m

[Joemailman]

Z and Billy Turner gone. Turner saves 3M. Packers have created 27M in cap space today.

[Fosco33]

I liked Billy. Reliable and not a huge cap relief. Is the belief that we’ll have Jenkins and Bacteria back that we’ll just draft a backup for cheaper? Cap casualty for sure.

I think they feel pretty confident in Nijman. Van Lanen could be in the picture as well. It's a pretty strong draft for O-linemen this year.
