bigKev2011 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 19 hours ago, Shanedorf said: I know Anthony Barr's name came up around here, former vike who will be a FA in March Just looked up his bio; he grew up playing multi-sports in SoCal, kicked arse in LA high school and was an All- State RB - then went to UCLA to become a star NFL prospect on defense. Those are his roots That does not sound like the bio of a guy dreaming about being a Packer At some imaginary number he'd do it, but he'll have many suitors to choose from - including his hometown Rams I share your skepticism on us being able to obtain him as well but to me I feel like we should build a vet line that could pan out this year our best player spends too much time injured because we refuse to protect him with good talent that is in the FA market such as Adam Levitre and Roger Saffold now Saffold will be a major stretch as he would have to leave the sunshine in LA but even Matt Slauson who was statistically on the best line in the league this year would be perfect IMO its time we spend money to protect our best asset Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like MN is moving on more because his attitude and scheme fit vs him wanting 12-14 million per. i think we both can agree the scheme for Barr wasn't ideal.

thrILL! Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 14 hours ago, Leader said: That - plus the stadium IMO. I know Lambeau's this iconic landmark - but times (and players) change and I think MN has a "if all things are considered even" advantage over GB simply because their "Frozen Tundra" field never freezes. never say never... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

incognito_man Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Would the Beas see more than 3-4 balls here with Adams, Graham, MVS, ESB, and Jones? Does LaFleur use his slot guy much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatJerkDave Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Beasley is the kind of WR that I would prefer to draft or sign as UDFA, not pay FA money for. I would be all about adding a WR in that mold. The closest current Packer to Beasley physically is probably Teo Redding at 6'1 176. I really like the WR talent that this team already has, and I am hesitant to add a high dollar FA to the group with a second year jump from Moore, MVS, ESB, and Kumerow; and a returning Geronimo, who should be cheap. That said, we should be able to afford it, he won't likely get more than Cobb did in 2018. We are only really paying Adams and Graham (right now) at the offensive skill positions. And just a fun fact: Kapri Bibbs is the most expensive RB contract currently on the 2019 Packers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green19 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 If we are letting Cobb walk why would we sign Beasley? Cobb is younger, has a trust with Rodgers and is/has always been a better player than Beasley. If you are looking to get cheaper because Cobb isn’t going to take a sweetheart deal... you draft and develop. The FA WR class is brutal this year. Like last year the only guy I see value in is Moncrief. He only signed 1 year in JAX and now has a connection in GB... via Hackett. He isn’t in that Beasley mold but he seems , to me, like the only value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Yeah, I see no damn sense in Cole Beasley here. Beasley is literally white Randall Cobb. If you think I'm wrong, take a look at his 2018 season with Prescott and Cobb's 2017 season with Hundley. Guess which is which: 16 games, 65 receptions, 672 yards, 3 touchdowns. 15 games, 66 receptions, 653 yards, 4 touchdowns. People wanting Cole Beasley had better not be the people complaining about Cobb. Cobb is more capable of being a Beasley than Beasley is, and with Aaron's familiarity. If you want an upgrade over Cobb's role on this team, it's Humphries or a draft pick for me. Humphries is capable of more than Beasley or Cobb, and he's younger, too.

rcon14 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 The Packers have never had a WR remotely close to as short as Cole Beasley. Randall Cobb is the shortest WR GB has drafted in basically an eternity and he was 5102. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since 2014, Beasley's second year in the league, games played: 14, 16, 16, 16, 15, 16. There's the difference between him and Cobb. I don't really want to pay Cole Beasley either, more expensive than Humphries. Just don't think that comparison is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
