Jake Dolegala is doing a presser at the moment and I absolutely hate him based on looking at his face. I don't know why. I don't know if it's how he carries himself. I don't know if it's facial expressions. Super punchable face.

This is good stuff.

His commentary on MVS is difficult not to get excited about. His commentary on Stokes was so hopeful.

Anyone catch that we restructured Z's contract this offseason?

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/green-bay-p ... ith-16848/
MAR 17 2021Converted $14.26 million of 2021 salary into bonus, clearing $7.38M of cap space with Green Bay (GB)
He now has a $28.13 million dollar cap hit in 2022 with a $15.75 savings upon release.


yikes...

Top offseason moves to save cap by releasing/trading
Aaron (19.3)
Za'Darius (15.75)
Preston (12.5)
Amos (7.9)
Cobb (6.8)
Turner (4.1)
Dean (3.9)
Crosby (2.4)

Cobb most assuredly gone, super outside shot he'd restructure/take a pay cut if we somehow can fit Aaron back.

I would point to Amos as a prime extension candidate. Just turned 28, been extremely durable, at a position that can age fairly well.

Dean needs to be better to stick around, but if he is even an average caliber DL and healthy this year, hard to argue that isn't worth 4 million.

Billy Turner should be back at that cost.

Preston pretty much gotta go.

Za'darius maybe back with an extension, very dangerous to lose both Preston and Z in the same offseason with absolutely nothing else developing other than Gary.

Yes we discussed Z's restructure earlier this year.

It is also why there are "rumblings" that Z is not happy with his contract and wants an extension before the season because he knows he basically needs to play balls to the walls or his leverage drops considerably.

I agree with his position

from the Athletic

Big Dog talking about his role in Titletown:

“At a certain point, the athletic ability is going to taper off a little bit, speed’s going to taper off a little bit. You can’t teach my size, you can’t teach what I’ve got in between my ears and you can’t teach this,” he said, pointing to his heart. “I bring all that together, plus my technique, and I’m pretty hard to beat. That’s what I instill in my tight end room. That’s all me and Bobby (Tonyan) talk about — the attitude, the grit, the will.”

So just a hypothetical, but we are like 40+ million over the cap next year.

If Davante wants like ~28M+ on a new deal and we just can not fit that in. Could a tag and trade possibly be in the works?

Think a franchise tag would be around like $16M which we'd have to find a way to get to like 16M below the cap if only for a few days until we complete a trade.

Order of operations might be tricky. I think we could to trade Aaron and get the $20 million in savings, but that wouldn't be effective until the start of the league new year, which would be well after the tag deadline. Maybe I'm wrong on that. Could be the only way is if we trade Aaron and get the salary savings before tagging Adams.

But if you ask me if I want a 2023 3rd round pick or a 2022 1st and 4th, well duh.

I have a feeling its going to be hard to get to the point we can make that happen. And it'll !@#$ of Adams something fierce unless he's involved. I like the idea, but I'm guessing it likely won't happen.

If the Saints game gets moved to Dallas, no worries - the Packers have done well in that stadium and the crowd won't be quite so deafening

I believe the only thing that matters is if we are below the cap the moment the new league year starts. So we could tag Adams and then figure out a way to get under the cap between then and the start of the new league year.
