You'd think one of the lesser knowns would be the first to go. They did Bortles a solid by letting him find work elsewhere. This is an example of the front office being human. It marginally hurts the Packers and potentially greatly helps Bortles. A selfless move by Gute.

True - just saying, there were lesser known / accomplished names on that QB list. Who knows. I'd read that Benkert was throwing a good ball - perhaps he outshined Bortles.

He's now at best the 5th WR if he beats out Rodgers otherwise 6th. Either way, no sense in keeping him. Plus we save 1.2 million in cap space.

Here's a WR who doesn't play specials, and will be at best our 6th WR. We were going to cut him, but now that decision is yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, are we sure Funchess isn't better than EQ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibrett15 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 No reason funchess couldn't be the #2 receiver with a good camp. His contract is pretty team friendly, I don't really get why you'd do that. Gute signed him for a reason, we never got to see that with Covid, let's wait and see on Funchess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope not at all, in fact, I'd be surprised if he was not, but the Cobb thing seems inevitable! I am sure Funchess is not better than Adams, MVS and Lazard however. Then you throw in Cobb who is going to get reps and targets because 12 said so. Now he's the #5 guy on our roster, if he's better than A. Rodgers. I'd rather have Rodgers getting whatever reps he can get than Funchess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ship off EQ ... you know he will only disappoint in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let not make him out as some WR he is not, he is nothing more than a glorified camp body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
