    Generally I'd agree, except Jaire was the one shocking Jefferson with jabs and two handed shoves at the line in their last game. I think Jefferson is bigger but IDK if he's necessary more physical.
    Jefferson is the best WR in the league right now, you have to make the QB look elsewhere to throw...agree that probably means changing up the coverages to keep them guessing and I'm not sure Barry is that clever.

      What are the Vikings doing? It's Cousins last year, he has void money on the books in 2024, when Jefferson will be on his fifth-year option trying to cash in big (he will). With that, they give Hockenson elite TE money and you could argue he's barely in the top 10. Detroit was happy to give him away, and he had some injuries so you have to wonder.
      They also gave Danielle Hunter a big pay bump just for this year. Not sure about their supposedly analytics-econ genius GM.

      Next year they could have a nobody QB throwing to JJ, it would be like Spurgeon Wynn throwing incompletions to Cris Carter and Randy Moss all over again.

      I'm tempted to be really critical because they're a NFCN rival, but I really don't understand their direction.

        Do they have a rookie backup QB they like?

          I gotta think their plan is to bring Cousins back. They didn't draft a QB last year until the 5th round, and there won't be much in free agency. Cousins and Tannehill are about it.

            In their own way, the Vikings still suck just like the Bears. They had one of the top RBs in the league, and they just shitted him away, that after paying big money for mediocre Cousins. Didn't they lose "whatshisface" - that other pretty good WR too?

            The Packers are fortunate to be in a division with loser mentalities like that along with perennial losers like the Lions and of course that team that still sucks.
            What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

              We gave up Rodgers. I thought we were the loser mentality team.

                Was there a choice? If the reports were true, he WANTED to go. Loser mentality teams tear down to rebuild. Intelligently run teams rebuild on the fly.

                  I guess Aaron Jones bought a 7M mansion in Miami from rapper lil pump. Jones doesn’t make that much money. Kinda stupid.

                    You think a mansion in Miami is going to go down in value? Jones didn't make a ton of money his 1st 4 years being a 5th round pick. He makes pretty good money now though.

                      MORTGAGE OFFICER: "I'm sorry, Mr. Jones, but I'm afraid you don't qualify for a loan of this magnitude. Your income is not sufficient. And I read the Packers are probably going to cut you after this season, what with the salary cap stuff."

                        LOL yeah, that house is not losing value unless they trash it.
                        As for Jones's cashflow, recall that in February the team converted $8.52M of salary & roster bonus into signing bonus, so he had 8.5M burning a hole in his pocket. He's fine.

                        Given his cap hit and Bakhtiari's, which would you rather carry into the 2024 season?

                            Bakh seems so fragile now. They rest him an awful lot, so I wonder if he'll really even get through the season at all. Hope Nijman's ready to step in and show the NFL he's the real deal. Playing for a contract, Yoshie!

                              I don't think Chad Clifton ever practiced either. Bak is gonna be fine and I predict he starts 15 games and is rock solid.

                                Pretty sure Josh Sitton went through the same thing late in his career. Guys like Bakhtiari can pass block in their sleep. As long as he can maintain his conditioning, he'll be fine.
