Bukowski just went through a bunch of trade scenarios, guys like Billy Turner and Za’Darius.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but we’d have to carry their cap hits to the new league year in order to trade them, right?

Essentially hurting ourselves having to cut other guys who maybe we could keep, and just making it infinitely harder to try to tag a guy like Davante. Whether to keep or trade him.

Correct. Trades do not go on the books until the New league year begins.

So we'd essentially have to, as an example, cut Adrian Amos in order to hold onto Billy Turner long enough just to trade him for like a 4th-5th round pick.

This cap sucks. I suppose if it wasn't this tight, we wouldn't be talking about cutting or trading good players.

I will say as good as our OL appears to be, and as much as they were dinged up, and as good as our RB were. I thought they were quite awful run blocking last year.

I feel like our only big runs came squarely on the shoulders of Jones and Dillon.

Not having Bak, Jenkins, and Myers surely didn't help for a lot it, no so sure on Myers yet. JRJ and Newman never really looked ready for that load just yet. Patrick is fine, but he just was never meant to be the shining star of the interior OL.


However to the contrary, lol, I kind of want to make the OL worse and leaning towards getting rid of Turner. I think he is out playing his contract, at least earning it. But you got a competent 5 with Bak, JRJ, Myers, Newman, Jenkins, whether you try Jenkins or Newman at RT, doesn't matter a ton. We do got Nijman coming back (maybe try him at RT too), and a draft and few other young guys we have been developing. I guess I just feel more comfortable with that than I would getting rid of a Lowry or Amos where we really don't have other options right now.

Gee, for his second season I thought Runyon played pretty well at LG. We could do a whole lot worse...

He wasn’t a liability but I certainly wouldn’t classify his play as ‘well’.

I mean expectations shouldn’t be high for a 2nd year 6th rounder, but he was okay. All the reason in the word to be excited, but he wasn’t even average this year, particularly in run blocking.

I disagree. As the season went on, he was arguably our best OL. The future is extremely bright with him.

how are people not talking about this more? I figured there would be lots of opinions on both sides.

A good hire for AR or Love or a 2023 pick.

I think Clements was a major reason why Rodgers became the QB he is today.
