Leader Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 1 minute ago, PossibleCabbage said: Rodgers has to have been on board with this, since he's a narcissist and this gives him a chance to say "I made Davante Adams" and prove it by playing well. It's not like Adams was part of his inner circle anyway. He invites Bakh and Cobb to the derby party, not Tae. Gute's pulling out all the stops right? I mean....he drafts Love and gets AR to put out two straight MVP seasons..... Now he gives AR more motivation to keep bringing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 With some discretionary cash in hand, I wonder if Gute wants Sullivan back? He's not great, but he won't be expensive. And we might not appreciate the value of "average" until we perhaps replace it with "awful". Anti-awful has a lot of value, in my mind.

If we could get the acquiring team on board with paying the bonus money we gave him so we could get out relatively cheap, that would be great. But seriously, Rodgers knew about this before he signed his contract. Adams was not coming back under any circumstance according to reports. Rodgers had to know they could not find a way to play together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Guy Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Does Adams do twitter? I wonder if he's going to give the obligatory 'thank you' to the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Jaire most of the year. Douglas apparently back in the fold, or close to it, I'd say probably not. Believe it or not, I could see King back if he'd take the vet minimum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say it's more likely Adams told GB if they put a tag on him, he was never playing under and wouldn't report. Guessing during his exit interview. GB may have worked this out with the Raiders a long time ago. It just took Vegas a while to work out the details of the contract. It was reported Rodgers knew Adams wasn't coming back before he agreed to come back. Edited March 18, 2022 by Old Guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see that. But 4 years of elite production plus netting two premium draft picks for a second rounder is pretty sweet.

Did they tell Adams to refuse to work out a deal with Packers, and they'll work out a trade? I mean we didn't even have the same HC or GM for more than a couple of weeks before he bought a house in Vegas. Which usually isn't a spur of the moment thing for the amount of money I'm sure he spent on the house. I find it hard to believe. And even harder to believe when you factor in the Packers got quite the haul for Adams. If it was a situation you're describing it seems like Adams can leverage it to going to the Raiders for pennies on the dollar instead of a first and a second.

coachbuns Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 8 minutes ago, craig said: So, we were just barely under the cap with Adams absorbing $20M of it. But let's not think we've now got $20 to spend. 1st and 2nd round picks bump the cap cost of our draft class. So the draft class will take up a hunk of that $20. So will Rasul. So the amount of discretionary spending for TE, WR, 3rd OLB, DL is still not that much. Very few expected Adams to get traded .. that's a 20 million "gift" that will be utilized nicely. And yes, that IS 20 million to spend on players/choices that wasn't there yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmansmell Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Also... we're 0/2 on TE gambles, Rodgers doesn't throw to TE's, why???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
