The 30th highest paid CB is currently making $7 per. Factor in availability discount, and I don't think about signing him for anything more than $7 per. 2/12 with a reasonable exit after year one is palatable. Anything more than that is an overpay for who he IS. CB is not a position Im willing to risk it. If Jordan Love was our QB, sure. Rodgers is 38 next year, give me the sure thing.

Kevin King is a fine #2 based on the combination of his "ilities" - ability and availability. If he wants #2 money ($5million/year) I keep him. But he will garner more on the market (despite the wonkiness of the cap next year) and price himself above that due to CB scarcity. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/cap/2021/ It just doesn't make sense on any level to overpay an underperforming CB 2 on this team in a year in which we're among the teams in the worst cap shape. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the exact time to pay someone at a premium position? You think the unrestricted market will be more kind?? You don't mess with QB, OT, EDGE or CB. Weak at any of those 4 and you're a pretender and not a contender. You don't risk it with Rodgers playing this well at his age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works literally every year. Or I just re-sign King for one year, two tops. I am pretty much in this boat for now. I also wouldn't be against bringing King back longer term as long as the average is 1 digit. I need to see what the cap will look like next year though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is how many years they want to borrow from into the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodjahs12 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 I’m beginning to get the feeling that there’s a much better chance that Linsley gets the money that we’ve expected to go to King/Jones than people think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the feeling Linsley was gone when we drafted 3 Interior offensive lineman this season and a really good one the year before that. Also signed one who can play inside and out too (Turner).

And if this is how he plays in his contract year, my confidence in him next year is supposed to be what, brimming with confidence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is how many years they want to borrow from into the future. I admittedly haven't been following it as closely as I should. I'm not sure what we are looking at, but the initial estimate of $175m likely took into account the season having fans for part of the season. If we are looking at $40m ish taking from future years, with 2020 at $198m, I would hope they could get away with only 5 years taking $8m from each. With the new Amazon deal maybe it could be expedited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. Slide Elgton to C, play Runyan and either Turner, Patrick or Lane Taylor at the other G, and Wagner or Turner at RT. I am happy with that and continue to draft a guy or two each year. These days I'd rather pay the big bucks to tackles and save on the interior. Wouldn't be mad either with playing Elgton at RT and drafting a C or G. I think Runyan - Patrick - Turner is serviceable inside, but am more comfortable with Patrick being OL6 Edited December 21, 2020 by JBURGE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would keep Turner and Wagner at T and let the three rookies, Jenkins, Patrick, and Taylor compete in the IOL. That said, I want Linsley back for the playoffs this year. Patrick needs to go to the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the interior continues to struggle the way it did against Carolina without Corey, I think it only improves the odds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to obviously get more on the open market than how he's played so far. If he doesn't, I will gladly take him back at mid #2 money.

gopackgo972 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 He’s going to have his biggest test of the year vs AJ Brown next week. AJ Brown is sooooo good it’s ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
