Im just talking about Vitale. We used Vitale 15 percent of offensive snaps, how is that Lafleur trying and Rodgers not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 2 years. 16.5M for Gordon. $13.5 guaranteed. That's a nice guarantee amount. Pretty far cry, I'm guessing, from what he turned down last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fistfullofbeer Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 That really does not seem too bad of a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 It’s okay everybody, Gute is working on a monster. Aaron Donald coming to town. Maybe not Donald, but we’re gonna announce a whirlwind of movement all at once. Then we’ll be done until the draft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fistfullofbeer Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 The fact that Gute has not made a single move to bolster our receiving corps makes me think (more hope) that he is waiting on one of the WR's to lower their price and jump on that. If he goes into the season depending on the kids to step up (again), it would be repeating the mistake from last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I’ve never tried pot before in my life and I won’t until I’m at least 70. People have told me I should try it, but I won’t. I’m perfectly okay with occasional cigarettes and alcohol. Don’t need to add another expense to my life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQ1 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) Random Musings... At this point, I think Gutekunst is: May be working on a trade, possibly Lane Taylor for either a WR or DL. Waiting a WR, DL, TE cap casualty that he feels would help fill a hole. I think he really does not want to sacrifice any of those comp picks for next year. In my opinion, Tight End isn't as pressing need as some here believe. Gute has a big picture game plan that includes re-signing/extending guys like Kenny Clark, and probably extend Bakhtiari. Then there’s Aaron Jones. But he has a lot of moving parts to consider. I’ve seen posts, not sure if on this forum or another, that suggest Gute restructure Rodgers’ big contract to create additional cap space. But that assumes that Rodgers is willing to do so. Maybe I’ll conjure up a mock-throw some darts at a Big Board and see what happens... ( - : # Edited March 20, 2020 by JQ1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be BIG NEWS if it did happen, would it not? My point is that I’ve seen some forum posts that suggest the Packers can create extra cap space by restructuring Aaron Rodgers’ big dollar contract. That would necessitate Rodgers agreeing to do so. And that AG#20, may not be forthcoming. Hopefully that clarifies my initial comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They re-did the deal at the end of last year so they could spread it into 2019 as well as future years There's really not much you can do on AR's contract and he has a $5.2M roster bonus due today. There are other deals like Z or Adams that you can do, but there's not much re-structuring available with AR Really, the only way to reduce his cap is to have him take less https://overthecap.com/player/aaron-rodgers/1085/ "Rodgers restructured his contract on December 26, 2019. Per ESPN Rodgers converted $14.26 million of a 2020 roster bonus into a signing bonus in 2019. The move increased Rodgers 2019 salary cap charge by $2.852 million and decreased his cap charge by $11.408 million in 2020."
