From Lambeau to Lombardi, Holmgren, McCarthy and LaFleur and from Starr to Favre, Rodgers and now Jordan Love we’re talking Super Bowl Champion Green Bay Packers football. This Packers Forum is the place to talk NFL football and everything Packers. So, pull up a keyboard, make yourself at home and let’s talk some Packers football.
So then Derek would need to sign a new contract by Tuesday, and raiders and new team need to have a trade agreed to.
The more likely scenario is the trade would be agreed by Tuesday and then Carr would agree to delay the deadline in his current contract until after the new league year. Neither NO nor LV benefit by LV being the middle man in any new contract.
And goodness, Saints are like $60M over the cap right now. If they add Carr, he's gotta have like an absolute minimum cap hit this year. They gunna have to build like 50-70M cap hits on the back end. They have really driven that franchise into the ground. Everyone's contracts already kicked down the road, and with void years. Frankly not even sure how they can cut $60M from the cap with all the void years they added. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-orleans-saints/cap/ Absolutely no clue how they could fit mid to upper tier QB contract into that mess.
Carr is obviously the second most intriguing potentially available QB, so why would he rush? Jimmy G just spent another year hurt...Tannehill looks set to return to TN, Lamar gonna get the tag.
Carr is better than heineke, and many teams need a qb including Jets, and the entire NFC South, Colts (who will probably draft)
But point is that its not like Carrs market is going to erode as time goes on. Teams are gonna wait to see what Rodgers does, then look to see what he wants.
He instantly makes NOLA and Carolina a lot better, even tho he is mid.
If Rodgers pops in on the McAfee show after he comes out of solitude and says, “I’m ready to play and I want to be traded” I still think the next month or so will be 100% about public posturing between he and the Packers. We aren’t going to know a thing until an official announcement of retirement/trade or move on Love has been made public.
I fully expect a LOT of public discourse to come, especially from Rodgers.
Come on down and try some of our delicious green chili! Best in the world!
has 12 ever broke real news on Mcafee? Seems all i remember is everyone tuning in to hear something and then in so many words...he says nothing at all.
Of course I'd prefer we trade Rodgers and start Love.
The statement I quoted was Carr over Love. How’d Rodgers get injected into the conversation?
And to expand on my Love over Carr take: we know what we get in Carr. A talented, albeit mistake prone, player who has reached his ceiling…and it’s not all that high. He’ll win you some games, sure, but he won’t get you to where you want to go. He’s an average play somebody you’ll be looking to replace two years into his contract.
Love may be the same. Love could also be the next great QB in the Packer succession. We simply don’t know. We’ve seen flashes of both although the more recent flashes have been the latter player. If it’s me, I’d just as soon spend two years to find out exactly what Love is capable of - and do so at a reasonably affordable rate - than waste time on a guy I know isn’t the player I need.
