Ghost's Crystal Ball and AR

Post by Ghost_Lombardi »

I think a deal has been worked out with Denver.

Rodgers will be traded post June 1, making the cap acceleration actually manageable.

We will get Patrick Surtain and 2022 and 2023 high picks. Our secondary will be elite for years to come.

They get AR.

So many things make this highly, highly unlikely. I would rather play the wait and see game than point them all out.

It's a done deal.

I would accept:
  • Jeudy
  • Surtain
  • 2021 2nd
  • 2022 1st
  • Teddy Bridgewater
That's the deal. Is that too much to give up? Yes, it is. You have to give up too much to trade for a player whose team has no desire to trade him. I don't think we should trade him this year, and I don't want him to be traded this year, and I don't think the team wants to trade him this year.

But if this offer came in, I think I'd listen.

It's essentially 3 firsts, a second, and a veteran QB of borderline backup/starter quality.

The Broncos would be left with Rodgers and Lock at QB, Cortland Sutton and Tim Patrick and KJ Hamler at WR with Noah Fant at TE.

I think they'd still be better off post-trade than pre-trade.

I'd use 2021 pick 40 on Elijah Moore and then spend the rest of the draft stocking up mostly on trench players on both sides of the ball.

But I'm entertaining this notion only as a fun, anything-could-happen, flesh-out-my-feelings sort of exercise. I don't think, want, or predict it will happen.

Similarly, to the Raiders I'd accept something like:
  • Alex Leatherwood
  • Henry Ruggs
  • Marcus Mariota
  • 2021 2nd
  • 2021 4th (since their picks are lower--Leatherwood and 48 vs Surtain and 40)
  • 2022 1st
Those are the only two deals I'm interested in. Put him in the AFC West where he faces Mahomes twice a year. Extract the two most recent first round picks to fill holes, get a veteran backup, and get a good future pick.

So we agreed to a trade to get Surtain and drafted Stokes?

Yes.

The only CB on the roster is Jaire.

I doubt any of the others would be in the NFL in 2021 if GB cut them.

Where do you think that elite secondary is coming from BF004, Josh Jackson? No, Stokes is a Packer in that crystal ball. :lol:

If we are talking Broncos proposals in here, a Broncos beat writer suggested it may include Chubb along with multiple future draft picks.

Nope. Denied. That's probably why the conversation was so quick.

You give us our exact needs on rookie deals or go home and we'll hold pat. :)

Specifically, if we are starting Jordan Love, the trade must come with pieces that help him succeed, like OL or a WR or both. In addition to a veteran QB because it's late in that market right now.

Were you in the room when this deal went down?

Miami:
  • Jaylen Waddle
  • Christian Wilkins
  • Jacoby Brissett
  • 2021 pick 36 (or pick 50 and an additional later pick)
  • 2022 1st
You guys catching a theme here?
Last year's #1 pick, this year's #1 pick--both at NEED positions for us
A veteran QB who can back up or borderline start
A second round pick tonight
Next year's #1 pick

Obviously the least realistic part of any of these scenarios is the pick tonight. Because this deal, even if anything were to happen, wouldn't happen that quickly.

get serious, every comment is hate filled and rediculous with you, you should realize minus Rodgers the next 20 years could be Packers not reaching the playoffs instead of the 18 after Rodgers leaves after 2022, so go ahead and kick him out the door,

Do you really think that if GB cut King today that he'd be snapped up on the waiver wire? And we have guys on our roster that play behind KK.

Our DL is ok. Sans KC, it is mediocre. Our OLB is great. Our ILB is okay. S is very good and could grow to be great. CB after Jaire is a black hole.

As for Rodgers, he doesn't want to play in GB. That's him, not me.

I do think he goes to Denver and we get Surtain and a bunch of high picks.

And I think Love is a good fit for what GB does on OFF and I bet AR knows it too, which is why he wants to control his destiny now rather than wait until 2022.

He addressed this with the June 1st change in dead money to allow the Packers to make the move while remaining fiscally viable to sign their draft class and absorb any returning contracts.

Heh, NFL rumors in the age of QAnon...

Rodgers has already been traded, ya just don't know it yet! Surtain is at OTAs as we speak!
