    Or maybe he is, and he posts on Packerrats in his spare time.

      TRADE!
      The Minnesota Vikings are moving up in the draft. They will trade with the Houstons Texans. Minnesota will get the 23rd and 232nd pick….Houston will get the 42nd, 188th and 2nd in 2025
      Speculation is Vikings will package 2 1st round picks to move up in 1st round to draft a QB.

        Yes Fritz, ya'all are under my spell. And you're all invited to a nice Jones Kool-Aid party. Drink up, and you'll never be negative thinkers again. I wonder who is old enough to get this hahahaha.

          Not something to laugh about, but your haha was aimed more at who of us are old farts I assume. Thoe old saying about an idiot being born every minute. Who would of thought 918 of them would gather at the same place!?

Every single one of them.

            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.
            No Frozen, it's not that I'm smarter than all of them (although I wouldn't rule that out hahahaha). It's that the GMs who do things the smart way tend to be winners, while those who do things the dumb way (ya'all's way) tend to be losers. Clearly, the Packers are in the former category - pushing the cap to the limit and realizing that we're better off that way. I recall a few years ago, people were talking about cap hell for the Niners, and they're doing all right. And the Cowboys certainly do what needs to be done cap-wise. I suppose others too. Then you have teams like the Chargers almost giving away an all pro WR cuz their panicking over the cap or the Giants over most of the past few decades or a few others who make stupid moves in the name of cap problems. Dumbasses talk consequences? Having consistently losing teams is the worst consequence of all, and that's the consequence of ya'll's dumbassery.

              What? I was talking about Aaron Jones hahahaha, not some other guy who brought 918 (was that the number?) of presumably cap-conscious people together.

              I wonder how many young'uns in here are wondering what this is all about hahahaha.

              • Aaron Donald retiring. Devondrre Cambell signs with SF.

                DET signed DJ Reader, who is a pretty good DL.
                The MIN trade for another R1 is interesting - my first thought was it felt like MIN got the better of the deal vs. HOU, although most trade charts show it's a fair deal that may favor HOU. MIN packaging both picks to move up gets them to about 4 or 5.

                CHI is a head scratcher. Getting Keenan Allen for a R4 seems like a good deal, until you realize he's about to turn 32 and this is his last year on his contract. Also note the CHI paid 24M for D'Andre Swift and $15M for an aging Kevin Byard. CHI could have tried to sign McKinney or Jacobs. They're making signings like they are a few players away, when they are likely restarting at QB and still have issues on the OL.

                • Aaron Donald retiring at just age 32? I don't recall much history of injuries either. Good news for the rest of the league.

                  Good points about the Bears. They don't still suck for no reason hahahaha.

                    Donald has been pretty banged up the last couple of years. His sack numbers have been down. Missed 6 games in 2022. Can't be easy getting double-teamed as much as he is.

                        My favorite part was reading "The Steelers decided to move Pickett after he poorly handled the arrival of veteran Russell Wilson, sources told Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette."
                        I believe in God, family, Baylor University, and the Green Bay Packers.

                            • Retiring at 32 isn't that early for NFL, until recently 35 was incredibly old in the NFL.
                              Some DL can last a long time in the league but Donald is undersized and constantly doubled. There was talk last year and possibly the year before that about him retiring. I'm not that surprised.

                              Pickett had to know he was on thin ice after his performance last year. He was going to be a backup in PIT or PHI, I guess it's PHI. They didn't get much for him.
                              With that in mind, if the Bears think they are getting much for Justin Fields in a trade they are delusional.

                              • As I said in one of these threads, the Bears say they are sticking with Fields as their QB1 - a surprisingly smart decision by the team famous for suckage.
