Old Guy Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 29 minutes ago, {Family Ghost} said: They were both reportedly offered at least similar if not better money to stay. Adams was pissed about the tag and decided he was not coming back to Green Bay no matter what. It's been widely reported. MVS was offered an 1 year deal vs. a 3 year deal. Trying to pin that on Jordan Love is bull****. Maybe if Adams played at full speed for Love's one start he may have had a chance. He was out there like he didn't give a ****. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supposedly, he was upset going back to last summer. Personally, I think it’s all just fluff to protect him from being criticized for wanting out (to play for the Raiders and his buddy Carr). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cap savings are minimal so I really don't think this was a money move as much as its a depth chart move. Maybe GB will sign a Dennis Kelly/Ricky Wagner type after the draft to hold down the fort in August-October Where did you hear he wanted to go back to Denver? Dude is from Minneapolis, went to North Dakota State, and had by far his most professional success in Green Bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans counting athletes' money is pretty weird too. They should absolutely maximize their worth while the window is open and take care of their families for years to come. And in Adams' case, he got to do both getting paid big time and by his childhood team no less. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think after that he was intent on leaving. He did dog it when Love was playing. MVS obviously got some big bucks. In any case Love doesn't factor into the equation at all. Both guys went for the money and got it. Despite reports doubt the Packers offered Adams more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they actually think Nijman and Newman might be just as good, or maybe better, than Turner at RT and RG, at his age and his present health? I've been a pretty supportive Turner guy, so that seems kinda unlikely, but I'm no scout and who knows how Gute sees things, given the medicals and stuff? Turner got "only" a 1-year "up-to-$5M" deal, that's like our Reed deal; so it wouldn't seem the league's GM/Medical-staff evaluation was super buzzed for Billy. Probably. They probably thought that Yosh could potentially handle RT until Jenkins got back, or they feel he's the RT of the future for Green Bay. I like Turner, but he's like a seatbelt. He's there for safety, but not for comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way man, if you could only need to work for 3-5 more years, you should be happy with $10M total and turn down $20M total during that time. Everyone else would do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine there's always been a portion of fan's consideration that incorporated "how overpaid" they were - that probably goes way back - but - I think it's become more ingrained in today's fans with the advent of social media - on which player salaries, cap situations etc get such in depth play - and secondary theaters such as fantasy football and video games which can incorporate salaries into roster construction of your imaginary team. Everybody feels the GM in them empowered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
