The Way a Packers Forum Should Be

Oh ya if the Packers can resign Adams I 100% want to, and I will be mad if we don’t try!
I mean the bad news is that we already HAVE been trying. I don't know if talks are ongoing, but talks were occurring right after the season.
Adams is playing on a big discount right now for how great I consider him to be. If he leaves, I don’t blame him. Just hope we Can win something while he is here, with 12.YoHoChecko wrote: ↑20 May 2021 12:29I mean the bad news is that we already HAVE been trying.

I was (/still am a little) hoping the team would use a big extension for Adams as enticement to Rodgers to show him we're for real here.
He will definitely become the second-highest paid WR upon signing. Hopkins 2-year deal upon arriving in Arizona is just stupid money--$27M a year--which I think was a new money/new year calculation on an extension of his existing contract made because the new team didn't have any prorated bonus hit. So normal circumstances, no one will touch that. Julio is next down at $22M/year. But Adams is definitely going to top all the regular deals when he signs, whoever he signs with.
I see that list and thank wow, Ted Thompson left us some cookies in the cookie jar before he left!YoHoChecko wrote: ↑20 May 2021 13:39He will definitely become the second-highest paid WR upon signing.

- Rodgers was #1 in new money/new years when we signed him, since passed by Mahomes, Dak, Watson, and Wilson
- Bakh was #1 in new money/new years when he signed it, since passed (by a hair) by Trent Williams
- Adams will be #2 new money/new years when he signs.
- I think Clark was #3 in new money/new years when he signed (behind Donald and Buckner) and was shortly passed by Chris Jones and Leonard Williams
We have an expeennnnsive roster
- Zadarius was top 10 when he signed, but is now down to 11th
Well I also think in order to win you need your best players to play well, I was just saying that the Packers traditionally seem to let guys test the market in their third contract, that’s usually a players 7th or 8th year in the league...by the time a blue chipper prices themselves out of the Packers market you better hope we have drafted well enough to replace them or we either start to stink or are forced to pay more than we are used to and go to cap hell.go pak go wrote: ↑20 May 2021 18:32I actually think the best way to have a good team is not to necessarily draft well so you don't have to keep so many high end players, but rather you actually get the high quality play back from your high end players.
The Packers have been really good at getting that the past two years until the NFC Title game.
I think there was a significant number (though perhaps it was just me!) willing to accept that the Love pick had a great deal of similarities to the Rodgers pick several years ago, and therefore the management can have a pass on that one. I've always reckoned that in the first round, you're trying (and most probably failing because the odds are poor) to sign a Hall of Famer, and if that Hall of Famer has a 10-year career but this year isn't one of them - who cares?go pak go wrote: ↑18 May 2021 11:58This entire forum was not happy about the Love pick or honestly even the Dillon pick last year save for a very small minority (I honestly can't think of one). This board was an angry place when it happened. You just had some people who were able to compartmentalize the pick, see why the pick was made and move on. You also have those that support the player because he is a Packer.

Was Rodgers a bad pick? Of course not. If Love does what Rodgers did, will he be a bad pick? Of course not. How's it going? Far too early to tell.
