Raiders will reportedly release Hunter Renfrow and Jimmy Garoppolo. Looks like it will save them about 20M in cap space. Davante must be feeling lonely.I can't run no more

Jon Runyan got 17 mil in his NY bank account to go play for the Jets. Crazy. Dude is not very good IMO.Comment

I think Packers fans are a bit spoiled by the offensive lines the Packers have had. Runyan isn't great, but he's better than what most teams have at RG. Guards have been getting very good money this year in FA.Originally posted by call_me_ishmael View PostI can't run no more

Agree we have been a bit spoiled by some above average OL. The signings speak to how hard it is for some teams to field a passable starting five.Originally posted by Joemailman View Post
As it is, GB's starting five could use some reinforcements - Walker-Jenkins-Myers-Rhyan-Tom has some weak links at C and RG, and no depth unless you think Newman counts. Depth in the draft that lines up with GB needs basically starts and stops with OL, so I expect a significant investment there.
I don't expect GB to sign an OL in FA.
JRJ is an ok player, but I don't think anyone here would want to give him $10M/yr.
I'm surprised he got that much from the NYG, but their line has had problems for a few years now. If they hope to get anything from that crazy Daniel Jones contract they'll have to keep him upright and unbroken.Comment

True. I like Runyan, and I wouldn't pay him $10 a year. I still hope we don't take an O Lineman in the first round, but ideally we can find a couple of good ones about 3rd, 4th, and 5th.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

Chargers trading WR Keenan Allen to Bears for 4th round pick. Quite the fire sale Chargers are having even though the cap isn't real.I can't run no more

Really. The Bolts need to get hold of Tex and Tank. Those two will obliterate their cap woes with their bullshit.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostComment

How did a team with so much talent and THAT QB not win anything? Coaching must matter for something.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostComment

As I have said, it's real for those dumb enough to think and act like it's real.Originally posted by Joemailman View Post
I read that the Bears have decided to keep Fields as QB1. That, getting Keenan Allen, and a couple other deals, if they aren't careful, they might actually stop sucking.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?Comment

Tex... please, dude... your entire argument about the salary cap is based solely on the premise that you're smarter than every single general manager in the NFL over the last generation, every single VP and director of player finance/football operations or whatever, every single expert analyst who makes a iving studying the financial complexities of running an NFL team. Every single one of them.Originally posted by texaspackerbacker View Post
You know a secret that not one single one of them has ever been able to figure out, about one of the most critically important elements of building an NFL franchise that is a legitimate Super Bowl contender?
I'm not saying you're not a smart guy. I'm not saying you're dumb, at all. I'm not saying you're naive, or anything like that.
But I am suggesting that maybe there are some things you're not seeing, some realities about how the process works on the real-world level, some things that they've learned during the years they spent preparing for their jobs that... mmmm... maybe you don't see.
Does it really never occur to you that maybe you're not quite as knowledgeable as you want to think you are? Does it ever even cross your mind? That maybe there really are some good reasons those people do the things they do the way they do them?
How do you explain that? Seriously.Comment

What I’M saying is that Tex really missed his calling. He would’ve been an incredible cult leader.
Or maybe he is, and he posts on Packerrats in his spare time."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

It's a throwback to Norman Vincent Peale's Power of Positive Thinking. If I see something I don't like, especially if it's cumbersome or complicated, I'm going to get angry at its existence, declare I want something else, and then figure out a way to make that happen.
Sometimes you can beat the system (Uber).
Sometimes you can't (gravity).
The salary cap isn't a rule of nature; it's a human construct designed to not have teams overspend on players (and as a result, put some amount of drag on salary growth). This is most definitely a copycat league. If there were a surefire way of "legally" overcoming it or outright killing it, Jerry Jones would have perfected it and a whole lot of teams would have followed suit to not be at the end of the talent line.I believe in God, family, Baylor University, and the Green Bay Packers.Comment
