MacReady Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 I submit that Kyler Fackrell on third down passing situations isn't being asked to do what Perry and Matthews are being asked to do on 1st and second downs, but I am the crazy one here these days, so what do I know?

Mazrimiv Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Third down specialist Bruce Irvin never had more than 8 sacks during his rookie deal, and his 2nd contract was a 4YR/37M deal with 12M guaranteed. That's probably in the ballpark of what Fackrell's agent will be targeting if his 2019 even remotely resembles this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how Irvin was when he signed that 2nd contract relative to Fackrell? Fackrell will be 27 in a few days - 28 in November of 2019.

Mazrimiv Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Irvin also came into the league as a 25 year old rookie. Irvin was actually a few weeks older entering year 5 than Fackrell will be in 2020. (Nov-1 vs Nov 25) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they're borderline similar.......age / 2nd contract-wise. Yeah - I looked him up and he's 31 now - so I was trying to figure out the building blocks of his contracts (based on the supposition he started back in his early 20's) - and it wasnt making a helluva lot of sense. Thanks for that detail. If fits now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthews yes because he's asked to do a lot more on the defense, but whenever Perry rushed the passer he got his *** handed to him this year.

Yeah, probably. I just don't even think about Perry. I never liked him. He's a guy who has everything he needs to have been a Hall of Fame pass rusher, he just never put it together until money was on the line. I've always disliked him, always thought it was a mistake to have drafted him. Most disappointing pick of my life considering Harrison Smith was available still. And that's not hindsight talking. That whole year I talked up the importance of a safety to a defense. It was my WR/IOL soapbox that year. So I'm not as hard on Perry as I should be because he means nothing to me.

He just doesn't work as a stand up EDGE to me, he's strong as ****, but he's not athletic enough to play that position to its full potential. I think he would be better as a DE. Players that can/could move like Matthews/Fackrell are what you want in a stand up EDGE if they can put it all together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'd be crazy to pay this kid anywhere close to that, but stranger things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatJerkDave Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 I think he will be 29 by then. I would rather give him a shorter contract with more per year, than commit to him super long term. He has had half of a good season in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordy's 2nd contract was a 3YR/15M (including incentives) extension signed in early Oct-2011. Prior to signing that deal, Jordy's "breakout" season was his 3rd season, where he posted 45/582/2. From a market value standpoint, those numbers are not close to what Fackrell has already posted this season in 10 games, and we are all aware that the salary cap has risen dramatically since Jordy signed that deal. I can't imagine a less relevant point than what Fackrell might have accepted as an extension prior to this season. His outlook going fwd has changed completely since the season began, which is why this thread was created in the first place. Fackrell is going to do what Perry did, what Cobb did, and what Adams did. He is going to play out his deal, and make the Packers pay him market value. If GB doesn't feel like Fackrell is worth that price, Fackrell will be playing somewhere else in 2020. That's not saying anything bad about Fackell or GB. It's exactly what both sides should do. We have him for next year. A new coach may be coming. New edge rushers are coming. Fackrell will be 28 when his contract is up. I agree that the Packers will stand pat.

Perry has played a lot of snaps this year in a 3 point stance. I haven't charted it, but it's probably at least a quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy? No. Extreme? Yes. But I'd agree. Kyler Fackrell at least early on in the season was more of a pass-rush specialist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only two I know that actually wanted him on draft day were @CWood21 and myself, but I'm sure there were at least a few others. I remember that one vividly. LOVED the tools, and if you watched his game tape from freshman year specifically against USC you saw what would eventually become a first round pick. Unfortunately, he tore his ACL I believe and then was used primarily as a coverage LBer in his later years at Utah State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
