{Family Ghost} Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I can't speak for anyone else, but if we only get a 2nd this year and a conditional 1st next year it's a fail. I think getting pick #13 from the Jets this year is a piece the Packers must get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Andrew Brandt @AndrewBrandt If a Rodgers trade is in the works, probably a lot of moving parts beyond what trade compensation. Issue of how much, if any, of Rodgers $60 million will be paid by the Packers. The more they pay, the better draft picks they get back. How many millions is a 1st round pick worth?

It usually only takes 2-3m extra cap to sign draft picks, since their salaries will displace others off of the top-51. 17.3m -9m -3m= 5.3m left They can gain 6-7m space by extending Gary. & 11+m space restructuring Bakhtiari. & a couple mil each from Campbell & Douglas. Now is that enough for them to swallow the accelerating portions of the 2023 option bonus (+44m)? Absolutely not. But there is some middle ground for them to eat some of the deal. Man, I do not want to touch the Bakh deal, do you? I mean, I get it, cap space is cap space, but he's kind of the last contract I'd want to touch. Pay as you go is how I'd play it with him and that deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green19 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I’m sure GB values the picks more… but I wonder what most here would do. Pay more of Aaron salary to get draft pick(s) or to get worse pick(s) if it means they eat less and less of that contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah at this point bank on Gary… and just do his contract even though the injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kind of depends on whether the Packers think they can contend with Love this year. If they do feel that way then by all means lock down Bahk. His health concerns me, but when he plays he's still elite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be his trainee year. I'm not for kicking the money down the road with Bakh. Love the guy, but I don't want to be paying him for years once he's gone. And Tom very well could be the LT of the future. If it were me, and clearly it is not, I'd be watching Tom closely this off-season and in camp. If he's put on good muscle and got a better power base....well....then I'm feeling even better about LT for the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
