Packers Huddle

Of course they asked. They would be idiots not to. I imagine the response they received will be enough to leave it at that.

Seattle would take on a lot of dead money by trading Lockett, they literally just signed him.

It would have to be a post June 1st trade.

Not sure if there is some kind of work around we can do to provide some draft compensation for this year.

I don’t think he’d be cheap to get. Only 6.5 million in salary this year, so Seattle doesn’t have a ton of incentive to trade him. Be easier to make life easier on your new qb this year and just trade him next year.

You gotta think this is just the first step.

Those season ticket holders who just sell-for-profit or regularly finance their season ticket purchases by selling off big games on secondary markets: your time is coming.

I sure hope this first step is the beginning of it .......... and wish this was the case today across the entire NFL for every ticket for every game.

Having zero secondary ticket market is absolutely a terrible idea.

Absolutely should have some regulations. But the idea of "first person in line" gets the ticket is not fair either.

Sounds like the Packers are moving to make themselves the masters of the Packers ticket secondary market. They can force ticketholders to sell back to the org - with processing fees, of course - then resell those tickets at a significant discount to current secondary rates - also including processing fees.

It's a win for fans and a win for the org in their eyes.

I don't see this extending to season ticket holders, I'd bet 30% of season ticket holders sell tickets to off set seasonal ticket cost.

I'd bet it's higher than 30%. Much higher.

Which is why I think the Packers are moving toward this. It's an untapped revenue stream that actually benefits the non-season ticket holding fan who wants to affordably see a live game.

I think your right, selling and buying season tickets is big biz.

https://www.greenbayticketservice.com/S ... rs-Tickets

the waiting list for season tickets is now at 135,000, yearly turnover is about 7,000, at that rate the wait is just over 19 years.

I believe a STH should be able to sell a few games, recoup some of the full package cost, my uncle did that and once he died my cousin continued selling a few, he died 4 years ago and since no one in the family wanted them they where given back to the team to sell to someone on the waiting list.

tickets are a huge expense, those 4 tickets where in my uncles family since 1957, section 122 row 40 right behind the Packer bench, my uncle use to brag that he could sell them for 2 and 3 times package cost, so he sold a few, when your a working man shelling out 4 grand for tickets, sacrifices have to be made, heck they where 4K years back, I bet those 4 go for 6 K now.

Unless demand is just so high. If demand is high, the way to get a ticket, even in the secondary market, comes down to either "first in line" or price.

The benefit of the team holding tickets means ticket prices may be lower on lower demand games because the Packers don't "eat" the ticket, but yet again most of your secondary ticket holders will lower their ticket price too simply to dump them.

The only advantage I can see of restricting the secondary market is you simply increase the supply on the secondary market by removing season ticket holders who have no actual or real connection to the Packers.

While I am concerned about the current state of the Packers WR room, I'm not sad that we didn't pay MVS $10 million a year. He was a speed guy with not the best hands, we can draft to replace that. I won't worry until I see what the final roster starts looking like.

Interesting article on the Acme website about DeVante Parker. Hasn’t had great seasons the past 2 years with Tua as QB with short passing game. But did pretty well when the Dolphins had Ryan Fitzpatrick as QB in 2019. Probably could be had for a low draft pick.

I’ve never been a Parker fan, stemming from the draft whenever way back when.

With MVS out, we have a dire need for speed on offense. The lack thereof was always pretty noticeable when he was sidelined.

Cooks is my top acquisition target easily. He only turns 29 this year. He was a low 4.3 guy, a lot of speed to spare; we could give him an extension and he'd still probably have decent speed into his early 30s.

Offer up our 3rd. We suck in that round anyway. If they want more, make it a conditional 2023 pick based on how it works out for us, go up to a 2nd if the return is great; 1st if he helps get us a Lombardi.

I saw someone else mention Cooks. Could be a good move. I think we sign or trade someone before the draft. But most of the work is going to be done post draft.

It's been joked about a lot. But where are all these guys wanting to play with Rodgers?

And bankruptcy the regular season ticket holders who may have had them in the family for 40 to 60 years.

At least they have their stock certificates to fall back on.

Along that line, I would expect quite a few season ticket cancellations if the Packers carry this all the way through. It is likely the Packers view those 117k fans waiting in line as ample insurance against any seat vacancies, though.

This could potentially be a worse WR core than the 2005 squad.

Only if we promote practice squad players to fill out the rest of the WR slots….ala Ted Thompson.
