Can the Packers franchise tag Davante Adams without a Rodgers deal?
â Ken Ingalls - Packers Cap ð° (@KenIngalls) March 1, 2022
Sure - all they need to do is:
âïļCut: Z Smith, P Smith, Lowry, Crosby, Lewis, Cobb
ðExtend: Jaire
ðMax Restructure: Turner & Amos
ðTender: Lazard & 8 ERFAs
ðŦSign: Nobody else
ðĩLeaves: $623,730 at deadline pic.twitter.com/PxlMpsW0ed
A deal of some kind with Rasul too. Minimum for next season with a large signing bonus and voidable years tacked on.
$28M-$30M a year for a WR is great for a team that has a QB on his rookie deal. Or doesn't have half the cap invested in 3 players.
Were I Gutey, I'd tell 12 he can't have a max contract and 17 back at the same time. Balls is doing his best to re-work deals, get the cap number down. Packers are doing everything they can to make it happen...moving mountains...but there is a limit to what they can do.
If that kills the deal for him coming back, so be it.
Shouldnât the smartest guy in the room know that?
Shouldnât the co-GM know that?
Any news on Campbell?
This is what MLB play looked like before him.
Aaron deserves being the highest paid player in the league and Adams deserves being the highest paid WR in the league. It is up to management to get it done. No, you cant pay everybody but the team needs to make sure those two who are best in their positions get their payday.
Not if it is going to wreck the rest of the team. Let them get their payday somewhere else. I'm a Packers fan, not a Rodgers/Adams only fan.
Um no
This is the dilemma of paying Rodgers and Adams as the highest paid at their positions. You still have to manage the cap. The Packers are still almost 30M over the cap. The only itâs going to work is if Rodgers takes a reasonable deal and Adams signs an extension and you backload a lot of the money for both of them.
I personally feel that both Rodgers and the Packers are running interference and building up their pre programmed excuses to justify their actions for an amicable split. The Packers can always use the excuse that they will willing to pay him and Rodgers can say he doesnât want to be part of a rebuild that will almost certainly happen if heâs paid top dollar.

There was no one better at racking up high tackle numbers while allowing even pedestrian RBs to fall forward for an extra 2-3 yards on every carry than him.
He did have that really good tackle on the golf course, though.
He flipped off the eye in the sky that one time. That was at least entertaining.
For the love of God, trade Rodgers already.
Gutenberger says no one has offeredâĶ.
You would have to imagine that news is worthless. If Gute put our "trade vibes" there would be suitors.

Heâs full of shit
Yeah, Iâm sure heâs going to admit to being contacted.
Need a Brandtslation.
Headline: When asked if heâs been approached about a trade for Aaron Rodgers, Packers GM Brian Gutekunst says ânot at all, not a single person.â

Reality: Brian Gutekunst sarcastically jokes that no one has approached him about Aaron Rodgers.

^^^^ really shitty reporting by Tom Silverstein and others to tweet out that comment of Gute's without adding that it was DRIPPING with sarcasm/laughter.
Once you actually heard the comment, you knew Gute was completely tongue in cheek with it.
Then other idiot "reporters" ran with it not realizing it's context.
Completely embarrassing to pass that off as Journalism.
It's so rare for media to report something without context too...
There is no place for sarcasm in football.
@Pakrz posted:Not sure King Rodgers would appreciate Cobb being cut.
Still think a trade of 12 is the best move.
Cut him after AR commits to whatever he commits to.
He may be committed before he commits

John Lynch must be sarcastic when saying lots of teams have shown interest in Jimmy G.

What's called journalism now is completey embarassing.
I suppose we'll know soon why AR is waiting until the 11th hour to make an announcement. I mean, he can't be a complete jackass, can he?
Of course teams have probably inquired about Rodgers. Even teams that may have an established QB. I mean, it is Aaron Rodgers that may be available, not some scrub.
This reminds me of and feels a lot like NFL draft talk. Of course no one lies or misleads or plants a story.
But I agree- the context matters. Gute chuckling tells you all you need to know.
Andrew Brandt thinks he is gone. Heâs one guy I tend to listen to and his comment yesterday on Rich Eisenâs show made a lot of sense. Basically, if heâs returning why is he waiting to announce it? Thatâs my feeling as well.

Is it possible that when dealing with two contracts (12,17) that this may take awhile?

Oh yes, that's totally his MO.
I am thinking more and more the issue is that the Packers are not willing to pay Adams to the tune of making him the highest paid WR in the NFL and Rodgers is insisting this is a "package" deal. No Adams=no Rodgers.
This team just does not hand out 3rd contracts to WR's. That goes back to Ted. Jennings didn't get one. They moved on from Nelson, James Jones, and even with Driver, it was known that they regretted that extension. And Gute is very much a disciple of Ted.
Do they value Adams? Sure. But not at 30-35 mil a year.
That money is way better spent on re-signing Campbell, Douglas, Lowry, one of the Smiths, and probably MVS.
And I think Rodgers is having a hard time accepting that.

Other than teams QB'd by Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Pat Mahomes, Josh Allen and possibly, Matt Stafford, it is malpractice for a GM to stay out of the Rodgers sweepstakes.

Wow, quite the analysis. Too much math for me. Ballz is earning his money this year.
@R MaN posted:Is it possible that when dealing with two contracts (12,17) that this may take awhile?
Maybe he's already let the team know and they're keeping it under wraps somehow. I suppose it's a possibility, but that would require a lot of mouths to keep shut on what amounts to major news.
Again, if heâs returning why not already communicate it? Seems to me thereâs something else going on. Maybe Adams doesnât want to return/extend. The problem there is in that scenario GB would almost certainly tag him and try to trade him, which may take more time to initiate.
I feel bad for those wasting their energy worrying about what they have no control over. Personally, I donât care if he retires, gets traded to the Bears or announces that he will be Trumps running mate in â24.
All I care about is having Satoriâs admiration and respect.
And ignoring Fedya.
