If true I really hate this move. He's young enough and been our best CB since coming to town (mainly cuz Jaire looks like Estus Hood lately).The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince Lombardi -
I might have kind of expected this if Stokes was back and playing. But with Stokes out, we're looking at Valentine. Been a while since a Packers season appeared to be over before it was half over.I can't run no more

How do you know if you hate it until we know what we got back?Originally posted by bobblehead View PostComment

I read we got a third and gave back a fifth with Douglas. That to me is pretty hateable.
If we got the fifth plus the third rather than giving back a fifth, then it isn't quite so bad, but still a negative thing.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

Because I knew it wasn't a 1st and he should be a guy in the future plans to win.Originally posted by SudsMcBucky View PostThe only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

I just updated my post after reading another site. Considering Douglas is 29 and was a FA pickup, I think it is a good trade.Comment

Meh, he's no spring chicken anymore. His current contract is a nonstarter for 2024 so he'd have to have been agreeable to a sizeable restructure. Move ahead with the youth movement at this point in time.Originally posted by bobblehead View PostComment

A gm that would give up a first for Douglas would be tarred, feathered and beheaded before being burned at the stake.Originally posted by bobblehead View Post
Why would any competent GM’s include a 29 year old, slightly above average, cornerback in their big plans for the future. This team is probably 2-3 years away from being decent. That’ll put Rasul at 31-32 years old.Comment

Huber reporting the same over at SI.
Rasul is a good player, with another year on his deal so he has value.
As others have pointed out he's aging and by the time the next window opens for GB (2025) he'll be gone anyway. I'm fine with the move, they should either sit still or be sellers this year.
I don't think it's a bad trade, GB will have 5 picks inside the top 100 and they get him off the books capwise. Valentine will see time and he's not ready for primetime but I think it will be good development for him.
He was a tough fit with Stokes and Jaire being boundary corners as well.
He'll be missed in the locker room and on the field. He was a good interview from what I've seen. Gets to play for a contender in the AFC, so good for him. The losing was wearing on him. Enjoyed watching him play for GB and I wish him health and luck going forward.Comment

They redid Preston's contract this year and made it look like he'd be here at least this year if not next as well. I think with Enagbare's issues in run defense, plus LVN's and Brenton Cox's inexperience they want to keep him around. Trading away 2 starters on defense would be tough.Originally posted by oldbutnotdeadyet View PostComment
