oh yes, they would have gotten a massive haul of draft capital. and even if Love started this year from Game One and they played lousy with him, they'd still be in better shape than they are now.

they bet the farm on Rodgers, and their crop died.

Just for reference, Denver got Wilson and a 4th round pick for:

2022 1st, 2nd and 5th round picks

2023 1st and 2nd round picks

QB Drew Lock, TE Noah Fant and DT Shelby Harris.

If the Packers could have swung the same deal, they would have had 3 first round picks and 3 second round picks in the last draft.

exactly. the hauk could have enormous, and set them up well for a rebuild.

now, when he retires and sulks at the end of this year, they get nothing and still have to pay him $40 million.

I'm not sure there's any variation where Abrams replaces Amos.

So, is he just for depth purposes then?  Otherwise, I guess I wouldn't understand why they'd claim him then, because he doesn't add anything since he's gone after the year then too.

Pretty much.  And it's never a bad idea to take a look at young guys in a different scheme.  Odds are he's Josh Jones 2.0, but in the off chance that he's that hybrid ILB/S that teams value.

Packers wide receiver Christian Watson‘s start to Sunday’s game against the Cowboys felt like another chapter in an unhappy rookie season, but he and the team were able to turn things around.

Watson opened his NFL career by dropping a would-be touchdown against the Vikings and he had two more drops early in Sunday’s game to add to the misery that the Packers have experienced this season. Watson’s day would get much better, however.

Watson caught a 58-yard touchdown from Aaron Rodgers to get the Packers on the scoreboard and then added two more touchdowns in the second half of a 31-28 overtime victory.

For Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, 300 yards used to be a pretty normal game. Now it’s an accomplishment he just can’t manage. After throwing for just 227 yards on 39 attempts in Thursday night’s loss to the Titans, Rodgers has gone 16 consecutive games without reaching 300 passing yards.

Rodgers’ last 300-yard game was in Week 13 of the 2021 season against the Bears. After that he came up short of 300 yards in the final four games of the regular season, in the Packers’ playoff loss to the 49ers, and then in all 11 games this season.

This is the longest streak of consecutive games without 300 yards in Rodgers’ career.

Great quarterbacks just don’t go this long without a 300-yard game in today’s NFL: Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen have each had eight 300-yard passing games since Rodgers last had one.

a Packer fan posted:

"Sad to say I attended that turd of a game, Lambeau looked utterly beautiful in that snow, embarrassment of an effort in that setting."

"Ready to burn this thing to the ground, trade Jones and Bakh, force Rodgers to retire or trade him, fire Barry and the whole D staff and rebuild next season. This chapter of Packers football doesn't get it's happy ending, it's just going to die a slow, uneventful, meaningless death, and it's a lot of people's faults, most notably Matt LaFluer for an absolutely miserable DC hire that the entire football world saw a mile away. Honestly we'd probably be a playoff team right now with Pettine."

 

looks like the obituaries are going to be written soon.

next up for the Packers? at PHI on Sunday Night Football, a loss there would leave them at 4-8....
