      Yea or nay?
      Nay. I wish you could wait until the end of the year to make the decision,
      But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

      • Yay. I don't think you can afford NOT to do it. He's still very young, and you've invested a lot of time and money and effort into developing this guy. You can't let him walk away after this year. According to the ACME article, 10 million is the going rate for a backup EDGE (Enagbare was the example), so why wouldn't you pay 13 million for a guy who will be a starter at the minimum and has a reasonable chance to have a breakout year?

        • What was invested in him is irrelevant. He really hasn't produced much in 3 years, so the only case that can be made for keeping him is what the staff sees in him. Maybe there's something there, but I'd say no from what I've seen.

          • Split the difference, offer 2 years with $13 mil guaranteed.
            Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

            • IF LVN believes in himself, he might prefer free agency. With a good year, he could be signing a 4 year deal worth 15-20M per year.

              • This is why you don't draft as many projects in todays game (my opinion). They perform just in time to pay them. And if thats the case why not pay a free agent but get 4-5 years of production out of a more ready player?

                    He let Quay Walker go. Let Hobbs go after 1 year. He is capable of cutting his losses.

                      He is still quite young - as young as a few of the guys the Packers just drafted. Presumably, he's advanced from where he was when they drafted him, yet is still young. He's primed for a breakout year - why wouldn't you keep him? He's young and talented and apparently $13 mill a year is not all that much for an EDGE defender. Enagbare got $11 mill a year.

                      Do it, Guter!

                      • I originally said Nay, but I'm starting to shift a bit. He's not yet 25, and the 5th year option isn't as expensive as what I originally thought, before I went all crazy and looked it up.

                        • Is the 5th year a team option? If we offer it, LVN does not get to decline it to play for another team, correct? I've never heard of a player declining the rookie extension, and surely there would have been one whose opinion is higher than the 5y offer.
                          I believe in God, family, Baylor University, and the Green Bay Packers.

                            It's a team offer. The player can't decline it, and it's 100% guaranteed so the team can't change their mind.

                              He's a year older than the oldest draft pick and 4 years older than the youngest. Age is not the thing, production and projected production is. The reason not to keep him is if the Packers think they can replace what they expect out of LVN in 27 with someone cheaper. I don't know what he's like behind the scenes, and I don't have any clue what the Packers' evaluation of him is. So far he hasn't shown much and he's been inconsistent.

                              I won't be upset if they do pay him for year 5, because the Packers know a hell of a lot more about him than I do.

                                Have you went insane on me ?

                                You don't offer Lucas Van Ness because he sucks

                                No production, and a horrible decision by an overrated GM

                                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
