Gute knows Adams is an expensive crutch for Love but his dependibility might be worth every dime in his early development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respectfully disagree with it being worth it. You actually negate the advantage of a QB on a rookie contact by paying a WR that kind of money. Put a bunch of talented guys around him that don't cost 25-28 million a year and make him spread the ball around. The way the offense was designed. It's not like we have chopped liver besides Adams, contrary to popular opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For him Is there anything more important than Jordan Loves development and success right now? Theres a lot at stake if he fails. I'm not the least bit surprised by these negotiation reports. Well see what happens, and I agree to you and I its way overpriced. To Gute its dependable training wheels for his vital QB. Whats he willing to pay?

Second, we just have a difference of opinion on how to build your team and be competitive for the long haul. It's all good though. Third, next year is a major problem. Adams does not count on our cap currently and we are already 30+ million or so over the projected cap. If you are paying him 25-30 million a year, year two is going to be 15 or 20 at least, no?

Rainmaker90 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I’m really glad some of you aren’t the GMs. You guys don’t wanna re-sign anyone. The cap is easily manipulated. Look at what KC is doing for crying out loud. Who they signed. Russ Ball will make it work. You don’t let the best WR go . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cap in 3-4 years is going to be like 60% higher than it currently is. WRs have one of the highest impacts on winning outside of QBs: https://www.pff.com/war If your idea of building a team involves getting rid of a top 3 WR then count me out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have no idea what the cap is going to be in 3-4 years. You pay, QB's, LT, pass rusher and CBs. That is who you pay if you have the best at the position. Again, we'll agree to disagree.

We paid our QB, LT two EDGE rushers and Jaire is going to get his. I love Davante, but 12-15% of your cap on a WR with the amount of guys we need to keep is not wise IMO. I can guarantee you if the Packers extend him, I'll be a big fan, still. It's not like anybody who disagrees with extending him doesn't like the player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
