Likely Adams, though I think if the other receivers aren't producing enough to be earning those contracts like ESB and AmRod, then that's also an indictment on Gute and his awful WR talent scouting.

Old Guy Posted August 6, 2023 Share Posted August 6, 2023 I don't know why I think it's interesting that Clifford is wearing the same number this year as Rodgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hence we brought back Cobb for the last two years to placate him a little. And even I have to agree a little with the sentiments there because Gute definitely has so far made a habit of trying to be ultra cheap with the WRs and he'd better hope that doesn't come back to bite him in the *** this year. I mean I get it that once their rookie contracts are up, some of them like MVS get swooped up on the open market for numbers that exceed their value, but Gute seems to have a bottom low price for vet WRs that he never will negotiate on. That's bad and he should be fired if he refuses to pay Watson when the time comes. thats the year he openly said it to the media, I's just my opinion that he may have asked for a trade after the 2017 season, according to this forbes article he still had two years remaining on the 2014 contract and we bumped it in August of 2018 for 134.000.000 more, and made him the most expensive player in the league again, we'll probably never know if he threatened a hold out, or asked for a trade.

IN the 2015 draft, GB had Nelson, Cobb and Adams all under contract for 3 years. Would drafting a WR in 15 or 16 been the best move so that WR is 4th on the depth chart?

For me, the two times I thought we should have taken a WR was firstly in 2019, when DK Metcalf was available (I wasn't so hot on AJ Brown) and we went Elton Jenkins. The other time was 2020 when Tee Higgins was there and we took Jordan Love. I don't think you can knock Gute for taking who he did when he did. Especially if Love turns out to be a stud. If we are playing the hindsight game though, taking AJ Brown or Metcalf instead of Savage would have been a pure masterstroke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
