packfanfb Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 As big of a proponent as I am about the Packers needing WRs, I'm not a huge fan of the Metcalf trade scenario. Still think this team would be just fine if they can nab a guy like Parker away from Miami for a mid/lower round pick and then use one of their 1st rounders on a top WR in the draft. Then hit the position again in the 2nd-4th, particularly a guy who maybe doesn't have all the tools, but has one really good trait, like deep speed.

vegas492 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Ya'll acting like a $20M AAV isn't good enough. If he were to ink that thing, he'd be making top 6 WR money. Right in line with what Mike Williams got. And Chris Godwin. Increase it 2M a year and he's WR #4 in terms of AAV. That's great money for a guy who hasn't even been a #1 receiving option in his NFL career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFF reported in the end of February that the Seahawks offered a 4/84 extension, and it was turned down. That was before the Adams and Hill deals, but he also wanted to be in the Hopkins range of contract even before those deals. He is not playing on a discount.

He's gotta ball this year, big time to get those dollars. And as it stands right now, he's got a lot of nothing at QB to get him the ball. Dude hasn't even been the #1 receiver on his own team yet. You might know that i might know that, but hes not signing a deal until he finds out for sure what the highest bidder is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PFF that the site run by that Florio person? Yah, got it. I think it is fair to say that it is not known what he wants, and that he will want elite money. Also...doesn't mean he is going to get it. He needs to produce big time this year. And he has no QB right now. And he is the #2 option over there. Good luck. Seems like this guy is destined to be a Jet. But they already have a rookie who is better than DK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegas492 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 Just now, PackFan13 said: What absurd logic. Rodgers would have been average had we not drafted Love. RIGHT. Numbers don't lie. Look at his prior 2-3 years before the Love trade, then look at his numbers after the trade. Rodgers was in that little notch below elite, I'd say top 10 for sure, maybe top 8. But not top 3. And he was in a decline. Then Love gets drafted and poof, here we are two MVP's in a row. It's either the Love pick that lit a fire under him, or.... Getting used to the MLF system, or.... A combination of both. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, NFLGURU said: I think you have to look long term here. Not sure you want a Metcalf type guy demanding the ball from a young Jordan Love in a year or two. Would it be wise to get a couple of young WRs that can grow under Rodgers and spend some time with Love in the following years. I think that Metcalf would be a long-term look. Dude is only 24. It would help Love immediately if/when he steps in to have a big, fast, reliable target to help him get his confidence up. We would know whether or not he'd sign long before we made the trade. If Adams and Hill are worth a first and second with one year left, then he might be worth a late first if we have an extension in place. If we don't then Seattle knows his return would be less. Either way they should be looking to cash in with what they can before he walks within the next two years anyway. If we can clear just a little more cap space then I'm not seeing any downside to bringing him in. That said, I'd say the odds of it happening are low and we'll see him get traded to the Bears or something.

Metcalf was #1 in targets in '21. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connecting some dots TBF, 2018 was "operation get Mac out" so not sure we accurately can count that. So you're more looking at 2019. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
