Excited to see the financials, probably sets the new market for Julio, Fuller and maybe OBJ.

I don’t get the focus on OBJ and GB. Tore his ACL in February, second ACL, 30 this fall, chose rams over GB already, and still says he wants to be in LA (below). Fuller or Julio are the logically ones.

Apparently Rico Gafford changed his number to 37 and is now a CB on the official roster.

Interesting. He was a cornerback in college, before the Raiders switched him to receiver.

"GB never does tag and trades" quickly changed into "GB does them every season."

Players with massive contract demands combined with teams willing to part with premium draft capital and then pay them.  Landscape has changed.  Thought maybe a 2 for Adams.  Never thought a team would give up 1st and 2nd round picks for the right to pay a 29 year old WR the top of the market. 

Not sure how long this trend will continue.  But if it does expect more trades like this from the Packers.  Can't pay them all so have to make tough decisions.  If JA tries to hold out for a market setting contract he'll go the way of Adams.  They'll focus on getting Gary and Jenkins done.  

Rams started this trend.  They trade away picks like candy for proven vets.  Got to a Superbowl.  Copy cat league others are trying to do the same now.  As a draft and develop team works in the Packers favor.  TN got #18 for AJ Brown saved themselves 25 mil/yr and promptly drafted his replacement.  Think we will see more of that going forward.  Thought that was a smart move by TN.  

It's been quiet on the Alexander front.  Packers are probably hesitant to pay him after the injury. Think he'll have to go out and prove it on the field.  Many think he'll be done before start of training camp.  Maybe if he's willing to accept a reasonable offer.  Top money not right now.  He wants that he'll have to ball out all year and stay healthy.  Bet on himself much like what Adams did. 

I'll be watching Adams with great curiosity to see how he does in Vegas.  That was a huge gamble by them.

This puts the WR number at 10 on the current roster which is light for training camp. With the high number of young WR's on the roster will they roll with 10 as to give everyone a few extra reps or do they add another WR to the 90? Thinking they pickup someone to keep camp reps inline to past camps. With so many teams having their rookie minicamps this weekend the Packers may be waiting for someone to come loose on Monday.

This makes a lot of sense. His roster chance is probably on having a great ST's showing, but he doesn't fit the MLF offense at all. He is very fast and if he returned kicks and punts, it would be a big help for him, but there is little history in his past as a returner.

The saga of Rico Gafford continues. It will add an interesting chapter when his HOF biopic is filmed.

Yeah sorry @Norm A-Rod is taken.

You have your choice between Fat Mac not scheming his receivers open, Ted hating playmakerz, our S&C staff, AJ Hawk being a bust, Ted wasting Aaron's prime, Dom Capers, Shawn Slocum, Ron Zook, Shawn Mennenga, or Mo Drayton.

You forgot Brandon Bostick

Ken Ingalls - Packers Cap -  Allen Lazard has not signed his $3.986M RFA tender

Packers have sole negotiating rights for Lazard in 2022

Packers have right to reduce the RFA tender down to $935K on June 15 if still unsigned

Lazard is likely looking for a bigger deal, but the CBA is stacked against him

Trading Amari Rodgers would just mean Packer fans would need to come up with the next player to hate on over nothing. Maybe everyone could submit their choice on who is the next man up on the hate list. You know, like how people rank their children in a love-like-hate order.

Trade Amari straight up for Shenault, and then I can hate Shenault.  Easy Peasy.

this may have a a bit of sarcasm  based off a Tua tweet but still:

That'd be an insane jump for Fields.  I don't think the NFL has ever had a 4,000 yard passer and 1,000 yard runner at QB.  I really don't think Fields is going to be the first with a patchwork offensive line and those offensive weapons not named Darnell Mooney.  You're probably gonna need ~170 rushing attempts for Fields to hit 1000 yards rushing and ~400 completions.  Unless there's a HUGE jump in completion percentage, that's ~680 passing attempts.
