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.
After thinking about it, let them double down on the speed at one position and waste several valuable picks not restocking other areas of their team with currently no cap space and a QB on a rookie contract about to get 40 million per.
Just a matter of time where you will start losing talent on the OL and D due to lack of money and picks when the piper comes a piping.

Andy knows how to treat a stud QB
We did that too, we had a historically good offense, 2nd rounder in Nelson, Jennings, Murphy, Cobb, 3rd rounders in Finley and Jones. We had a crap D. Can't win without a D, won't blame Ted for trying, just couldn't pick the right guys.
We won the Super Bowl with a top 5 D. Tom Brady has NEVER won a Super Bowl without a top 5 defense.
Have we seen anything that indicates that Gronk is coming back? Or is Tampa just trading for the rights? I haven't seen anything, but I have to imagine Tampa wouldn't do this unless they knew for certain.
BTW, imagine being the Bucs and having the gall to demand a 7th rounder to go with Gronk... That's a GM who'll never say "keep the change" (or one fond of subtle middle fingers).
I find it really curious that 2 of the cornerstones of the Patriots' offensive juggernaut are now gone practically signalling the end of an era. You have to wonder what is going on in Foxborough. It was different when Favre left because we had somebody in the wings to replace him with. NE is going to have to scramble and try to move up to get one of the top QBs in the draft this weekend.
Man, on paper the Buc's roster looks pretty impressive.
Brady, Gronk, Howard, Brate, Godwin, and Evans on offense. Barrett, Pierre-Paul, Suh, and Vea up front on defense. A capable Bruce Arians as HC.
Lot of big albeit aging names mixed with some young talent. It'll be interesting to see if there is enough in the tank for them to collectively make a run.

That and the Buccaneers' season will have some GREAT storylines.
Belichick has plenty enough job security to do whatever he wants from totally tanking it to actually trying to make it work with Stidham, a draft pick, or a after draft QB signing. This season will be so different from before, that the fan base should be excited with anything new after years and years of "boring" expected success with TB12.
Just happened to check out Howard's numbers, again, and was reminded that at 6'6", he somehow managed a vertical jump of only 30".
His other "burst" numbers seem more in line with the athlete many thought he was/is. I wonder if his vertical measure is more a result of bad technique or random poor test outlier?
thanks, when ya compare 30" is about 3 under average, I still don't think it really says much, Kelce, Witten, a few others are only 32" and there pretty good, sometimes I think the numbers can be mis leading.

Bit late, but it looks like a technique issue to be.
The broad jump and vertical jump largely measure the same thing, leg explosion. The broad jump is a 45 degree vertical jump and uses a bit more posterior strength (deadlift) than quad strength (squat). But there is logically and actually a very strong relationship between them; a 10' broad jump typically coresponds to a 35" vertical. Outliers at either tend to point to technique issues moreso than anything.
Tho its said that white dudes can't jump and its not atypical for white guys to have a worse vertical than their broad jump would suggest.
There is also a S&C program element, some programs produce crappy jumpers for some reason (poor explosion training possibly? dunno). LSU was a classic example back when I paid a lot of attention to the draft in the mid-00's.
The 10 yd split is also typically closely correlated with vertical and broad. Its another measure of the same thing albeit with different technique.
3 years, $66M, $50M guaranteed, $40M due at signing.
