Because it's been being discussed in relation to Jaire for 2-4 pages here over the past 12 hours or so. Jesus, sorry I missed it and wasn’t on the forum at the time of your liking. Hope the internet power trip makes you feel tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coming off 2nd ACL and didn’t even want to play in GB in 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outpost lives in the Madden world of cap management and not the real one, so that tells me all I need to know. All - hyperbole. Definitely would trade those who want to take the market up by 40-50%. IE: Adams, and now possibly Alexander. Seems like you believe the bill we keep pushing down the road will never come due. That is simply not factual.

Pats traded a 3rd next year, but they get back a 5th this year. I still don't think I would do it. 5th this year, and that's it IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will, unfortunately force us to make a couple of fewer moves. He could get tagged next year if they can't work it out as well. My point, I'm not paying guys who want to take the market up 30-50% from where it currently sits. It's bad business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighCalebR Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 The cap and contracts are fluid year buy year. The bill you,think youre paying never does truly come due. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In two years the deal he signs this summer will look like a steal. This is not black and white. The cap is very much a grey area now especially with the new TV deal coming. The only thing we need to be concerned with is if the Packers spread out the Rodge hit when he retires or if they bite the bullet at one time.

I prefer a more conservative approach to the cap. It seems to be the thing to do now but it will catch up to people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be the thing to do now but it will catch up to people. When will it finally catch up to N.O. ? This is about the rest of the Rodgers contract. The Packers won't be doing what they have done for the next 20 years. This is very much about the now. That being said, that doesn't stop a well run organization from keeping their stars. I.E. Alexander, and soon Gary. You handle the Rodgers cap hit when it comes and reset, but you don't stop keeping your stars and improving the team because you are afraid of an imaginary number. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams did not take the market up that way anywhere other than appearance. If Jaire wants 30 a year and it's actually 3/67, we should jump all over that.

I'd prefer contracts guys can play til the end and the teams can make that work in years 4 and 5. I know that isn't the norm these days. I'm not for spending money on the come. I keep hearing about 'the new deal'! A lot of things can happen in the next few years before we get there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A word I dont see getting bandied about around here is "guarantees" - it's all the rage with NFL players now and it was a contributing factor on why Davante moved on. GB (supposedly) wouldnt offer the contract guarantees he was looking for. True or not....I've no clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
