  • If Boykin took that I would be happy as well.

      This Packers WR room of Deebo Samuel, Terry McLaurin, DK Metcalf, A.J. Brown, Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb is gonna be fun to watch.

        SO MANY WR's asking to be traded because they want a DEVANTEDEAL

        I don't want any of them for 25 mil/year
        TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

          I agree. When you're paying your QB 50 million a year, you shouldn't need to pay a WR 25 million.

          • The dream is over. Boykin claimed by the Steelers.

                Would Butte be putting up MVP numbers if he was throwing exclusively to the likes of Sloth Allison, Jarrett Boykin, Jared Abbrederis, Tori Gurley and Brett Swain?

                Hotshot QBs still need someone to catch the rock. Y’all like to hate Prima Donna wideouts, like, TO, Ocho Cinco, Randy Moss, Dez “Tyrant” Bryant, but they do excel at inflating the stats of QBs. Gotta be Wu-Tang (skillful) to be a Prima Donna.

                To paraphrase the great Arizona Cardinals rock catcher, Rod Tidwell, show ‘em Donnas the fucking money!

                  • In 40 games with 24 starts, Boykin has caught 33 passes for 470 yards with seven TDs.

                    They're not missing much by not bringing him in.

                      • So how cheap would a trade for hopkins be now? Cardnials just got another wr and may want to distance themselves from hopkins ped suspension. Plus most of the cap hit would stay in Arizona.

                          Hopkins has a base salary of 19.5M in 2023. How much do you want to trade to have Hopkins for 11 games this year?

                          • Kupp and Adams are better but Hopkins is still pretty good. I wonder if the PEDs were to help heal up injuries or get back into shape faster (totally admit to not reading any clickbait on it)

                            He's a very good WR but I wonder if he's officially on the downside now. You could throw out a trade offer and maybe convert base salary to a bonus to save cap room, but I can't see GB doing that with how crowded their WR room is and how tight they are on the cap. I think Russ Ball wants to survive this year and then they have breathing room next year when the cap goes way up and they have room to eat some of their dead cap hits.

                            All these WRs wanting to get paid, I think it's made teams wary. I imagine it's hard for some to justify paying someone $20-25M for 6-8 touches a game. But if you don't...
                            I think the preferred model is to find 2-3 good WRs vs. an elite one. Less risk to injury, easier to spread the ball around, probably cheaper for the amount of production.

                              A 2 and a 3. He plays with arod has a career year and we trade him away for a 1 and 2
                              ....
                              Profit!!!!

                              Seriously though, I feel like our team is much better thos year than last (with an assumption bak is back). I fully expect amari to be better, watkins is better than anyone else outside of adams from last year and Watson (who is very smart) is an upgrade on mvs. I though we had a need at te, but outside of the waller rumors gute has done nothing, not even in udfa. That says to me they are better than I think. I wanted a safety, Fritz and others have pointed out what our new ilb means so thats not a weakness. Patrick Taylor has another year of experience so rodgers might be open to him and he looked great last ps. Our secondary has #1 potential and I believe Wyatt is going to make our dl shine.

                              Im seriously optimistic about this year.

                              • The Green Bay Packers added to their tight end depth chart on Wednesday, claiming Eli Wolf (6-4, 238) off of waivers from the Indianapolis Colts.

                                Wolf, 25, went undrafted out of Georgia during the 2020 draft. He signed with the Baltimore Ravens and spent much of the 2020 season on Baltimore’s practice squad. In 2021, Wolf spent the final two months of the season on the Colts practice squad.

                                Indianapolis released Wolf on Tuesday.

                                To make room for Wolf on the 90-man roster, the Packers released receiver Chris Blair.
