R T Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 1 hour ago, Leader said: I fundamentally disagree with this. There's WR talent coming out and making considerable contribution from the start. I simply dont accept that AR wont throw to them. To me - thats an HC matter. AR cant "retard" the progess and production of the offense because he's "picky" who he'll throw to. Thats simply unacceptable to me. It's been going on for more than a decade now, why would an even more empowered Rodgers change now. MLF can do nothing about.

Don't let people like Rapoport influence you away from logic. He's being dramatic because that's part of the job description these days. They're not going so far out of character with all the can kicking they've done so far, to allow for the possibility of Adams sitting out half the season or walking after a tag year. It's also benefits them cap wise to get an extension done which further cements it will get done. They're simply doing the dance they have to do because Adams too knows an extension helps their current cap. Start out low and work their way up. Ultimately their worst case Adams contract still benefits them. They just have to be under the cap tomorrow. A few small moves can get them compliant. They can clear more room to add useful pieces in the coming days and weeks. That said, an Alexander extension would be no surprise tomorrow. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossibleCabbage Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 All they need to do before 4PM tomorrow is to get under the cap (including possibly some RFA tags that need to be applied). Everything else doesn't need to happen before the league year starts. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something ballsy like when we traded up for Matthews... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The oddsmakers seem to side with everything is looking pretty good for the Packers. https://www.vegasinsider.com/nfl/odds/futures/ BTW, their Super Bowl odds have been chopped in half since the Packers went to work in advance of the new league year this past week. Reality is squarely on the side of things are headed in the right direction after Rodgers committed and they did what they had to do with the cap. It's the doom and gloom that's gone irrational around here. Edited March 16, 2022 by Mr Anonymous 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobb cut to be re-signed on a smaller deal later and then possibly one additional small restructure or cut. It's not much. That said, Alexander's new deal is no doubt an immediate priority given the all-in approach. I'm sure they'd like to be in the mix on a few guys right when deals with free agents can be inked.

It's not much. If you can't hit a home run on Alexander tomorrow there could be an Amos extension. There are so many moving parts to all of this. People act like the brass has been sitting on their *** this whole last season. The Packers plan for the future weather it is draft and develop, All in, or maybe... Just crazy enough maybe, a combination of both?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cut Cobb and it all come crumbling down. He's the card holding this house of cards up. Cut Cobb and AR rescinds his agreement to sign....Davante doesnt sign....and cap oblivion is visited on Green Bay. Oh...and we've lost all our trade partners for AR. <insert braking sound here.....tires screeching to an ABRUPT stop!> Pleasant dreams @Packerraymond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He already knows he wont be back at his number. It's about being under that cap for the new league year. Once again, there are many conversations that happen that people either pretend don't happen, or can't imagine possibly happen.
