Kip Smithers Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Must’ve been no chance he would’ve gotten a new deal after this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even then, you could get a 3rd round comp pick. Maybe, but the league has really devalued the Safety position over the years. Not sure what team would sign him to a huge deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coffee & Contemplation Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 I mostly liked HCD. He wasn't spectacular, but he was reliable and solid, similar to AJ Hawk in that sense. He was only going to be on the team through the end of the season, but only getting a 4th seems a little short. I would have expected a 3rd. I'm not a professional GM though, so what do I know?

N4L Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Wow, a fourth is very good value for the skins. Crazy that it was to an NFC team as well because this potentially hurts the Packers playoff chances. Packers must be contemplating a tear down?

My guess is that they decided to take the best offer right now. They probably weren't going to re-sign him, so didn't want to risk not getting the 3rd round comp pick. The issue is that we have literally nothing at safety right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a good move if there is no hope to bring him back and a 4th round pick is received, which is about the same value of a 3rd round pick in two years when they'd be eligible for a comp pick. The assumption of a 3rd round comp pick is generous and GB will likely be players in FA next year so it is a pointless comparison anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean....not really though. What about the last off-season or two gives you the impression that any team would sign HCD to the sort of contract you're implying?

ET80 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Wow, this is crazy. HaSean and DJ Swearinger might be the best tandem in the league now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My issue is that teams like Green Bay have an elite QB RIGHT NOW. Not a potential one in a year or two. But right now, they have Rodgers and he's on the wrong side of 30...How is a mid round pick in 2019 going to help you guys win a SB with Rodgers any time soon? It's egregious that GB accepted a fourth rounder for any young above average starter (let alone at a position that they are weak at like GB at safety) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
