He was a all pro player just last year and has seemed to indicate interest in the packers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he could push 4 years, $48M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was based on rep, not production. He was excellent in 2016, solid in 2017 and average at best in 2018. So, if he wants more than $8M a year, I hope it's not with the Packers.

You think he's got enough in the tank to be productive at 34 (?) or just figuring some sort of contract structure that makes the tail end worth eating if/when his game declines?

n8ghee Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 If we can get ET, I will be super happy with Gute. Regardless, if he lives up to the contract or not. I will still be appareciative of the move. He’s worth the risk. Our young DBs need a real leader getting their backs in the deep half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd anticipate if he's shooting for a higher AAV, the guarantees are going to be a bit low or it's going to be structured where that 4th year is an easy out year.

I don't see a dramatic decline given how good he is. Thomas isn't a normal player. At 29 last year, he was still the best safety in the game until he got hurt. Offenses still have to game-plan around him. Will he be a lesser player at 33-34? Sure. At 33 do I still think he'll be as good or better than most 26-year old safeties in the NFL, yes.

Honestly, at this point I think I'd rather have Tre Boston for half the price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I'm not hot to trot for the guy to be honest - because of his health / cost - not so much his play. But I dont think theres a whole bunch of 34y/o SS in the league these days - so that last year better be half priced hot dogs at Lambeau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not as familiar with Boston’s work the last few seasons as I am with ETs. If Boston is 85 percent the player ET, for half the price, I’d be down for that too. Definitely would like a Veteran back there, who the youngins can trust. i reaaaaallllly just don’t want to have some Rookie patrolling the back end.

Come on...make up your mind LOL Agree - he's a good player - but he's broken his leg (the same one?) two of the last three years and while he may not be your usual Safety - age has a way of reducing guys down to a common denominator.
