i don't know if subbing for Love for a few weeks and then hitting the bench qualifies for Tannehill's need package. i don't know what kind of money GB has on hand either, to pay him, as he'll want 25-30 mil a year, right?

0% chance that Tannehill is getting that kind of money from anyone.  If there was a market for him at that rate, he would have been signed by now.

On a third-and-10 today against the Colts, Malik Willis aborted his dropback on what was supposed to be a pass and tucked the ball and ran without trying to find a receiver downfield. Packers coach Matt LaFleur explained after the game that Willis told him it was because he couldn’t get a good grip on the football because center Josh Myers had just vomited on the ball.

LaFleur: “I asked Malik why he didn’t throw the ball on that third down, and he told me Josh threw up on the ball  I was like, that’s the first time I ever heard that. The official came over to me, and said, ‘We saw your center throwing up on the ball, do you want us to take him out next time?’ I said, absolutely, please do that, because you’re talking about a critical situation, and it’s third down, and I’ve never had to throw with vomit on the football. Malik probably didn’t appreciate that.”
