Yeah i don't get the hate i thought he took a couple good steps forward last year. Kid has room to grow obviously but I think he could be a nice player still.

skibrett15 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I need to re-frame my point. I want thomas. Have wanted him for a while. Wanted to trade our 3rd round pick pre-injury last year for him. i want him at 2/30. If we had signed collins at 6/84, we would all be talking about that contract how I just framed it. It's not an overpay. It may even be a fair deal for both sides. But it does seem fairly flexible from the team's perspective if I'm reading the Rapoport tweet right (and I might not be, could mean 45 mil paid over first 3, but that's not the 45M gtd).

He can get 30 mil up front without it being prorated over the course of the 5 years that a signing bonus is. Unless it's structured in a rather unique way, it's not a tweet you can read too much into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid has room to grow obviously but I think he could be a nice player still. He's kind of like King, they haven't produced...yet. But you don't give up on guys on rookie contracts. Low risk to the team. I think Jones still has upside. Like a ton of it. Never understood why he wasn't played near the LOS more last year. But yah...you wait on guys on those rookie deals.

Leader Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 2 minutes ago, vegas492 said: Rookie contract. You don't give those guys up. Generally I agree - but it depends on how far along on that rookie deal they are and what they've put on the field. Eventually - with some guys - they reveal their ceiling before its time to re-up them and you move on. Ex: HHCD - who in a performance sense had far out performed JJ - to date. Hope springs eternal.

CWood21 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 3 minutes ago, Green19 said: No not my point at all. Im saying we clearly value positions differently under Ted. Gute is not going to spend on safeties. He WILL on edge. Hence Mack, Ford, etc. If Green Bay “over spends” its more likely on edge guys this off season. Thomas is a pipe dream... CB, Edge, OT, QB... these are the positions Green Bay will give up premium captial for. I don't know how you can come up with that based on one offseason plus a few hours into the second offseason. He didn't spend on EDGE last year, what makes you think it's going to change this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can agree to disagree on that point. Street free agent safeties vs. Josh Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
