He's pissed everyone on here said he can't be a number one and he's like **** you guys I'll show you!!!

Since we gave up two 2nd round picks to get him, his agent wants the combined money of those two picks.

Paul Bretl -  There are some unknowns around the depth at edge, however, a Year 3 jump from Jonathan Garvin will go a long way in helping that. He played nearly 400 snaps in 2021, is athletic, brings power, and he’s still 22 years old.

Hoping for a step up by this guy.

Patrick Daugherty -  AJ Dillon caught 34 passes last year after *combining* for 23 between his college career and rookie season

Another example of someone being capable of something they weren't asked to do in college

But I tead some random interns draft scouting report on Dillon and it said he was hardly used in the college passing game meaning his pass catching skills sucked.

"If he could catch passes in college he would have done it, his coaches aren't r-worded"

PackersWire -  The Green Bay Packers have won 13 regular-season games in three straight seasons and have both the back-to-back NFL MVP and one of the most talented defenses in football, but at least one former-executive-turned analyst doesn’t think Matt LaFleur’s team is one of the most well-rounded in the NFL entering 2022.

Marc Ross of NFL.com, who spent over a decade in the New York Giants organization, listed his top five "most complete teams" and even included three honorable mentions, but the Packers didn’t make either list. Ross prefaced the list by saying he was searching rosters for the “NFL’s best from top to bottom.”

Who made the cut? The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Chargers, Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs and Denver Broncos. The three honorable mentions were the Cincinnati Bengals, Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Rams.

10 years with the Giants says it all.  Don't think I'll be taking anything to serious from that dude.

PackersWire -  With Romeo Doubs and Zach Tom both signing their rookie contracts on Thursday, Christian Watson is the only member of the Green Bay Packers’ 2022 draft class without a deal. While there is no reason to panic, it is possible that the absence of an agreement could be financially driven.  

Under the current collective bargaining agreement, agents are unable to negotiate the length of a rookie contract. All newly drafted players receive a four-year contract, while first-rounders carry a fifth-year team option. There is still some wiggle room when it comes to the money side of things, but it was drastically reduced under the CBA that went into effect in 2011. For more perspective, just look at the rookie deals signed by Sam Bradford and Matt Stafford compared to Joe Burrow and Trevor Lawrence. 

In its current state, agents are tasked with the impossible of pushing these financial boundaries to their limits to satisfy their clients.  

When it comes to Watson, outside of being the highest-drafted wide receiver Green Bay has had since Javon Walker, his case really isn’t that special. The Packers did give up two picks to move up in the draft to take him, but the fact that he was taken 34th overall and not a couple of picks sooner, negatively impacted the amount of money he can earn and the negotiating process overall. Recent history suggests Watson could be seeking more guaranteed money.  

In 2022, Watson became the third straight wide receiver taken with the number 34th pick, joining Elijah Moore and Michael Pittman Jr. According to overthecap, Pittman Jr. signed a rookie contract worth $8,612,842 with $6,625,377 guaranteed. His percentage of guaranteed money came to 76.92. 

A year later, the New York Jets took Moore. Moore’s agent did him a favor and secured $7,061,273 in guaranteed money out of $8,940.422, resulting in a guaranteed percentage of 78.98. Because Moore was able to secure more in guarantees than Pittman Jr., it is possible that Watson is now trying to surpass Moore.
