now hopefully we can trade him for a 1st and a 3rd to Jacksonville, and draft a younger Adams and a kick return burner.

You guys are underselling this. Let a team sign him to an offer and we can get 2 1sts for Davante! Why settle for a trade for less? Not that it matters because at this point I expect us to re-sign him and the tag won't be needed.

If a team would want to go that route, probably wouldn't be hard to front load the contract, or at least a sizable 2022 cap hit, should that team have a little money, so we couldn't match it.
Of course Davante would have to willingly sign this contract too. Don't think I'd be mad if a team like the Raiders tossed us two first rounders. Certainly doesn't make us better, but those $$ are getting real.
Two firsts + Rasul + Campbell + Tonyan vs Davante, an argument could be had.

I was sorta just spiffing here ya know
Tae is 30, now he may be the next coming of Randy Moss, or Fitzgerald, but the skills that make Tae great can disappear in the blink of a eye, we may make him rich for a year, but I don't see Gute handing him the type contract he just gave Rodgers, and I wouldn't want him to.saying that though, I've wanted to add a great prospect across from Adams for years now, and this draft has them into the 3rd round, like to sign Tae to a contract we can get out of in a year or two, and use a 2nd on one of these receivers.

Given what you say about Tae getting "old" how about if Guty gives him a mega contract in year one but then loads up the incentives in the following years? I wonder if Tae would take that.Yoop wrote: ↑09 Mar 2022 13:46I was sorta just spiffing here ya know

I wouldn’t think so either.
I would believe that Tae wants as much of everything GUARANTEED as early as possible. I’d think that’s how most WRs that are 30 are thinking. The vast majority of 30 year old WRs are going one year at a time and they just don’t get contracts longer than that, usually.

It's so wild to me that it has taken Davante Adams and DeAndre Hopkins' weird contractual comparisons for the media to finally finally start articulating that the new money/new years extension deals they always announce are absolutely fake and have no relevant bearing on the cap, compared to the full life of the deal, which is the real contract and the real money and the real cap impact.
I noticed that when they announced Preston Smith's contract, they specifically stated that the 4 year, $52.5 million extension is part of a 5-year $65M total deal. This is the way it should have always been reported for all players all the time, and had everyone stuck to that when Hopkins signed a 2-year extension that was part of a 5-year total deal, we might actually have Adams locked up right now.

I am saying that the characterization of DeAndre Hopkins' deal as being worth $27.5 million per year versus the actual value that teams and agents typically use is the explicitly reported gap in negotiations between Adams and the Packers, and that has been alluded to by both parties (Gutey and Adams) for a while.Half Empty wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022 12:15Are you saying that players and team depend on the media interpretation of contracts and not their own?
I think MOST teams and agents do not use that, but agents work for players, and I think players hear the reports and make demands.

Adams is gonna use the interpretation that helps his wallet. The team is going to use the interpretation that helps their cap situation.Half Empty wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022 12:15Are you saying that players and team depend on the media interpretation of contracts and not their own?YoHoChecko wrote: ↑14 Mar 2022 10:09It's so wild to me that it has taken Davante Adams and DeAndre Hopkins' weird contractual comparisons for the media to finally finally start articulating that the new money/new years extension deals they always announce are absolutely fake and have no relevant bearing on the cap, compared to the full life of the deal, which is the real contract and the real money and the real cap impact.

The fans will take headlines or do their own digging. To each their own in that regard.
But I think the player and the team have known what’s up with these contracts for a long time.
