Packerraymond Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 1 hour ago, {Family Ghost} said: I've been seeing a lot of rumors out there that Ju Ju Smith Schuster could be had via trade. That is one player that would make a lot of sense for the Packers. He's 23, and has proven to be a highly competent #2 receiver. He's on his final season of a cheap rookie deal, but the Packers have shown a willingness to pay out some serious coin for another good receiver. They may have been in on Robbie Anderson, and reportedly made a three year offer to Emmanuel Sanders. I hope the Packers are sniffing around on this one. That's a move that could move the needle. You're either renting JJSS, or trading one of Jones/Bahk/King/Clark/Rodgers future for him. There is no money for a #2 WR in GB currently, it's draft or bust. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking maybe they had a plan since they were hunting Anderson and Sanders in free agency, and rumored to be sniffing around Hooper as well. I don't want to lose any of the guys you listed, but JJSS definitely moves the needle for us on offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sucks that we don't have oodles of cap, but Rodgers, Bahk, Adams, Smith, Smith and Bulaga were a large part of last years cap. Lost Bulaga, but we're about to add Clark. Our money is being spent on the best players on the team, just the way it goes when you are good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddfather Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 With the likely hood there will be a lot of two WR sets is everyone really down on Funches? I guess it's not exciting, but he has been productive in this league and was getting a lot of praise before he was hurt last year. I know I am an optimist mostly, but do I just have green and gold goggles on? I guess I just don't see our WR group as a dumpster fire. Not a world beater, but can be productive. Especially with the group of RBs we have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VonKarman Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I love revenge hits. I like the players better when they do it. Gotta protect you team. BTW, the JJSS rumour comes from a journalist speculating what could happen during the season, with no inside info to support it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you are telling me the cost to re-sign Jones is going to be near the cost for Ju-Ju, then I'd lean Jones. (And really hoping Jones for less.)

TheGreatZepp Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I’m over the WR craze, it was potentially mouth watering leading up to the draft as there were just so many WR’s worth scouting and with standout skill sets to keep us busy and full of intrigue but they don’t move the needle for me. I care more about the development of the defense, want to see Jaire take it to another level, Rashan Gary force his way onto the field, Oren Burks trying to give the ILB’s a skill set they haven’t had in a while and the DE’s getting some sand in their pants on run downs!

I really like King, but he's got some creaky shoulders and may still command a ton on the open market. Re-signing him is a much bigger gamble than re-signing Ju Ju.

That wouldn’t give me much confidence in the CB’s after Alexander.

I was just responding to it being evidence of it being willingness to block. Sh...t happens in a fast paced game. Who knows, maybe he was looking for Burfict and gave him a taste of his own medicine. I'm not going to dismiss him by any means for that one hit in the heat of the moment. (I like the fact it was on Burfict too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddfather Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) Some straight up bulllllllllllll dookie if you ask me. No way the Bucs schedule was an accident. I mean I know you still have to play the games, but what a gift for the old man. Edited May 9, 2020 by Toddfather 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Vince Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) I've come around to believe if we get this version of Funchess we will be ok not drafting a WR or trading for ju ju. He really made Cam look like a decent QB at one time. Mute and enjoy the highlights! Edited May 9, 2020 by St Vince 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrimiv Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Seems to me that MLF wants to build the offense around the running game. That being the case, having one high priced WR along with 4-5 reasonable/bargain contracts is probably the new normal at WR in GB. I don't think the team views upgrading at WR as nearly as big of priority as most fans/media do. At this point I'd be much less surprised to see the team give Jones a 2nd contract next off-season vs signing a FA WR to a 10M+ multi year deal. In reality, I don't expect either. I think a day 2 pick at WR in 2021 is the ceiling of what to expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
