5th I'd say.  In this case GB ACTUALLY has little leverage if they aren't willing to just hold him

I'm not sure Green Bay is the one without leverage. I think it is the other way around. Doubs stays away, he doesn't get paid. He's not made a lot of money so far in his career. 

Green Bay is very likely not getting an asset back for Doubs. They will likely get a mid to late round pick for him in 2025. Therefore, there is no sense of urgency to move on from him until they get the value they want. 

There is no financial burden on the Packers if they don't move him because he's not showing up apparently. Just suspend him and move on if we don't get what we want in a trade.

This is super odd.  Where did this come from?

Agent still panicking. This isnt the path to beaucoup bucks

better said, I think we agree this isn't ending in a trade.  Either doubs comes back, or he doesn't and he doesn't toll his contract and loses a year toward free agency

It looked like speculation because of social media nonsense to me

Gute needs to set his asking price and stick with it. He doesn't get that Doubs can retire. He misses the rest of the year; he hasn't played enough games for it to count as an accrued year. He's still two years from free agency.

It's a path to being traded into a much worse situation, not showing production and being out of the league without getting even a 'decent,' payday by NFL standards.

if mvs could get the contract he did from the chefs, I think doubs was on track to get something at least similar.  Now... up in the air

Dude. More than likely Doubs is gonna return to the fold next week. Probably apologize and promise to give it his all going forward.

They played two weeks without QB1 and hardly passed the ball as all - still - Doubs isnt far behind Reed & Wicks in targets - so it's not like he's the forgotten man.

Doubs was drafted in the 4th round. He's out played his draft status and is only 24 years old. While Gute may not be able to get it, I'm not going back on round drafted in a trade. If I don't get it, Doubs can sit his *** on the suspension list.

Depends on if you believe the article where it said he was demanding a trade. The tweet seems more like a draft day deal. 

IF he put that out there today, then I think you are right. 

I'm a, '**** these divas,' kind of guy. You have a contract, show up, shut up and do your job.

Where does it say demanding? The article seems more to speculating he "could"

I didnt read the article.

Feels to me like a guy that's got his nose a bit bent outta shape, but who's gonna realize which side his breads buttered on and why it makes zero sense to push these "non-issues" any further. 

Again - it's not like he's been dropped from the offensive game plans - and based on Love's tossing him the ball last year, he should be confident it will keep coming his way for as long as Love's the guy chucking it.

But can we get a kicker?
