Nick_gb Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I have to wonder if this is what Gute meant when he said "There are other ways to acquire cornerbacks then Free Agents" because technically Fuller is a Free Agent he was signed to a 1 year deal. If that's the case and this has been the plan all along, Gute is smug and I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VicPez Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 One question -- since Fuller has signed his offer sheet, does that mean that the field is narrowed down to the Packers and the Bears? Or are other teams still able to make him an offer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smetana34 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Wouldnt the 13 million Chicago signed him for already be factored into their salary cap? Meaning if they only have 15ish left in space, they really only have to come up with 2 or 3 million more to match a hypothetical 15-16 million a year offer from GB?

Can someone who knows for sure clarify on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had this contact for about 6 years now. At first I thought my friend was full of crap, but then I'd start hearing so much stuff before Shefter or any local news would break it, so then I was like DAMN. While attended practice once my buddy introduced me to this guy/gal afterwards, so that cemented it for me. Lol. Like I said before, I wouldn't blame anybody here for thinking I'm full of it though.

Only if he'd signed the tag I believe. It doesn't factor until you do. This is at least what the talk was when the Redskins we're going to franchise Cousins and try to tag him. Not sure if it's the same for the transition, or if Fuller signed it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Packer_ESP Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 @HorizontoZenith you're a freaking chameleon. I'm starting to wonder how many accounts you manage seamlessly switching from one posting style to the next. Were you stockholder? Were you Revel8? Am I the only non-htz account here? Am I a intruder in your world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneTwoSixFive Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I wonder just how much money the Packers offered Fuller up front. The more the Bears have to stump up this year (if they match the contract), the worse it will be for them. Kudos to Russ Ball and Gute for exploiting a weakness.

green machine Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I believe that if Fulles signed the tender with the Bears, he could no longer sign with another team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to have all the info on the in state guys and some Badgers stuff when I was recruiting for UWO through all the HS coaches I knew. All the in state guys always end up in Madison anyway though so no one cared lol. Actually met Wolf and Gute when they had a pro day for a WR and QB of ours on campus, talked with Wolf about an internship. Applied and Charlie Peprah got it lol. Guess I needed to play for GB to work there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I wonder if Fuller would sign anything he knew Chicago couldn’t match? Because the word is he does want to stay with Chicago. So it’s probably more like Chicago can match... but do they want to. Green Bay could of created a funky structure that may make them be like wtf?!?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibrett15 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 so, if we front load the deal, there's a chance we could steal him. There's no poison pills allowed like "if you play more than 4 games at soldier field in one year the entire contract accelerates and is fully gtd" but you can structure it with the intent to harm your potential opponent.
