In fact he's had to make a living off throwing into 2 inch windows and back shoulders in MM's offense. Dez is literally perfect for our offense and would thrive with Rodgers throwing him the rock. To Nelson, Adams, Cobb, Jones... you know guys he has played with for years and trust. Which is my point... Dez isn’t a worker. Only now that he gets cut does he want to work. Get a personal coach... understand route run, etc. It was the issue with Janis. Dez doesn’t scream like the guy Rodgers will respect. Dez will get frustrated with the amount of looks he’ll see here. For Favre, Romo, etc Dez is great. Gunslingers that take chances... Rodgers doesn’t, when he does it’s to his besties in Nelson, Adams and Cobb.

If that's astounding then you must live a magical life and I envy you. The fact you have a viewpoint doesn't mean it's objective. There are flat earther's out there after all. Is it an absolute certainty that keeping Cobb makes the team better vs signing Dez? The irony of the bolded statement related to the opening statement of your post is interesting.

If there is one positive trait in Dez that we know of is his competitiveness, which is something AR will respect. I don’t doubt they’d get into some spats but with their competitive natures , there’d be some mutual respect. Id consult with AR for this decision though.

I’m sure Rodgers would respect the competitiveness... but he won’t trust Dez’s process. Everything about Dez is he has gotten by with his physical talent. It’s why he cant separate now, and why teams know he only runs like 2 routes... because he hasn’t developed his game and after major leg injuries and age he isn’t beating anyone physically anymore. Plus look at how emotional he was seconds after getting cut. Going to Twitter, etc to tell everyone it’s personal and that he just wants to play against Dallas. Then taking an interview that evening in a steakhouse. Competitive... sure, no argument there. But I don’t think he has the personality or the mind that will earn the trust and respect from Rodgers.

This just isn't based on anything. It never has been. How would Dez have ever succeeded in this league running only two routes, regardless of physical talent? Honestly, the idea that he can only run two routes is very ridiculous. He also hasn't even really diminished physically. I don't see any physical difference in 2014 Dez vs 2017 Dez. At all. No one has been able to give any actual examples to show the differences in physical ability, either. It's all just made up stuff to explain the lack of production.

People always think that the Patriots never make any wrong moves in free agency or trades, but Belichick has made plenty of moves that just flat out don't work out. With these smaller free agent signings, I'd say he's even on them being hit or miss. People acted like Belichick robbed the Panthers blind when he moved from the third to the fourth round and acquired Kony Ealy. I know I'm late to comment on this, but I just thought it. IIRC the guaranteed money is a little over $100,000. That speaks volumes. I'm guessing the Packers just didn't want to deal with whatever is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire12 Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 Per Spotrac, GB has $13,886,197 in available cap space. Per Over the cap, GB has $16,231,975 in available cap space. Neither of those include the Davon House contract, which has not been released as far as I know. Rookie draft pick cap hit and subsequent adjustment in top 51 (based on contracts on Spotrac) pick cap hit 2018 remove from top 51 Net cap change 14 $2,507,504 $605,484 $1,902,020 45 $1,140,397 $573,759 $566,638 76 $714,103 $566,666 $147,437 101 $667,830 $566,666 $101,164 133 $593,591 $555,000 $38,591 138 $561,443 $555,000 $6,443 172 $534,630 $555,000 -$20,370 174 $534,630 $555,000 -$20,370 186 $520,689 $555,000 -$34,311 207 $509,732 $480,000 $29,732 232 $502,456 $480,000 $22,456 239 $499,421 $480,000 $19,421 totals $9,286,426 $6,527,575 $2,758,851 So Rookie picks will reduce the current cap space by $2,758,851. After subtracting the NET rookie cap cost, GB would have available cap space of somewhere between $11M (spotrac numbers) and $13.5M (overthecap numbers). Still need to subtract the Davon House contract from those numbers as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
