At least there is ESB to look forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JQ1 Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 (edited) Too bad, but you knew it was just a matter of time before somebody(ies) opted out. Here’s a far more detailed article than florio’s tripe. The article also mentions LB Greg Roberts: Opt Out/Covid-19 List Edited July 28, 2020 by JQ1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossibleCabbage Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 The whole team should opt out so Green Bay can draft Sewell or Chase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacman5252 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 As far as Funchess, meh... I forgot we had him on the squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brat&Beer Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Quote “Family is first. Always has been. Always will be,” Funchess wrote. “In such unpredictable times, it’s been one of the constants on my mind as I’ve worked through one of the toughest decisions of my life.” Quote “My closest family members have experienced the life-threatening impact of COVID-19 first hand and for their and my own safety, I’ve decided to opt out of the upcoming NFL season,” Funchess wrote. “This was not a decision I took lightly but it’s what is best for my family and myself at this time.” Quote “I can’t thank the Packers organization enough for their understanding and for giving me the opportunity to be part of one of the most storied franchises in the league,” Funchess wrote. “I look forward to getting back to work with them next season.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jleisher Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 There will not be any NFL season, that's my prediction. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddfather Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Sports that succeed = bubble.... The NFL is too complex. They cannot travel the way they do and not expect positive cases... That being said... Are we smart as hell for drafting Love now? Just saying.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate I would think this too... but I think the league is too desperate to keep their money print machines going to not try every avenue. The nfl season will start, but I don’t know if it will see itself to the completion. Edited July 29, 2020 by Green19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 This once again makes our draft even look worse than I originally thought. And I originally am not impressed. We had to get a WR in the first three rounds this past year. Had too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Honestly while I think we need someone else to step up, I think the need at WR has been over blown. Even with losing Funchess, I think I could argue that WR isn't in the top 3 needs as we got Lazard and MVS who had a short stretch were they were putting up #2 WR numbers, while they didn't do it for a full season, would it really surprise us to see them do it? Plus lots of TEs options. CB is such a valuable position, some have suggested it's #2 after QB for most valuable and we got Alexander and the extremely inconsistent and injury prone King, and... hopes and question marks. At OT we got Bakhtiari at OT and an recently injury prone hope at RT, and not much else at OT currently signed, at least if they keep insisting not to play Runyan at OT. Guess there is Turner, but he struggled at times with athletic stuff at OG, he'll need help at OT. At DT we basically only got Clark and two consistent guys, who I don't think might be able to be #2s like a think Lazzard and MVS might, and then there is Keke, but really we have no idea what we got in him yet. St. Brown has shown more (even if two years ago). At ILB we got Kirksey and than an extremely inconsistent Burks who I have little to no hope in. Summers, who's I like but isn't athletic enough, though Martin has good potential, I'm not sure he's going to be ready week 1. So as far as positional needs, I honestly have WR at #4 or #5. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither King nor Burks is extremely inconsistent. King is good. Burks is bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
