2022 Packers Off Season Moves/Trades/Releases/Signings

Bit of a surviorship bias here.  If a player doesn't win championships they aren't usually considered HOF players.

If Cousins wins multiple SB's, he's going to the HOF.  If he doesn't, he doesn't.  So yeah, most SB winning teams are led by HOF QB's, because SB wins usually are what put you in Canton in the first place.

Fair point, but Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Warren Moon, Dan Fouts, and Fran Tarkenton are all in. Phillip Rivers and Matt Ryan may get in, and Andrew Luck was good enough to be a HOFer. None of them ever won.

Maybe the best way to frame it, is you don't usually win a Super Bowl without a QB who is in the top 8-10 QBs playing in the NFL that year.

Teams win or lose games.  

Is there a date when trades are no longer allowed?  Did some light research, couldn't come up with anything.

Just wondering in case AR decides he's not going to sign his contract until or if Adams agrees to terms with the Packers.

MVS ran free and very open multiple times last season and Rodgers just missed him. The route and separation MVS  got in those plays looked fine. Idk what it was with Rodgers but he just could t connect on some of those deep passes.

MVS would be even richer if those two were able to connect more last season.

Remember Rodgers wasn’t practicing since early November (before Chiefs game Covid test). Rodgers knows the playbook but no practice is why his timing was off with MVS etc.

NFL trade deadline is mid season, last year it was Nov 2.

I'm more concerned with MVS's injuries the last two seasons.  He's never had reliable hands, never been a great route runner, and was really about speed and then you prayed he'd actually hold onto the ball.  Those factors are why he's not worth $10 mil per year.  There are receivers out there better than him that are available for less.  Availability/reliability is huge, especially when you're the team's only speed guy.  I say pass, his arrow's pointing down.

A true #2.  I'd love it.

In all fairness, his hands and route running has improved. Yet I agree that he has an injury issue and may have priced himself out of contention esp. with his age.

As far as the FO for the Packers, since they decided to go all in this year rather than trade AR, they need to really go all in.  There's time to get a deal with Adams done, but get it done.  They're getting hijacked a little betwee AR and Adams, but they decided to go this route, so they need to take it in the shorts.  Going all in without Adams isn't going all in.  And get Campbell and Douglas signed ASAP.  Not signing those guys is not going all in unless they have a plan to replace them.  Also consider using the #1 pick on a proven player who can help right away.  Now is the year to pull out all the stops.  If the FO doesn't do that, I think they should be fired - specifically MurphyBallz.

I will miss Turner's fashion sense

We'll miss him, he's a cool dude.  It just made financial sense to say goodbye, unfortunately.

Yosh is 4.5 years younger than Billy...it makes more sense to sign him. Worst case he keeps RT warm till Elgton comes back...best case he plays so well they leave him there and move EJ back inside.

Still not sure why they would move one of the best guards in the league to right tackle

YEAH BABY

”The #Packers are re-signing All-Pro LB De’Vondre Campbell to a 5-year, $50M deal, per @BillHuberSI. A huge deal for the Packers and Campbell, who turn a 1-year deal into a long-term commitment.”

I hope it works out that way.  Nijman was a very good LT for us.  I guess it depends on how well he fits at the RT position, but he's more than earned his shot and can swing to LT in an emergency and do just fine.  He's a keeper, for sure.  And, you can keep EJ at his best position if he comes back this year.

Rodgers must be playing for free the next two years  with a billion dollar ballon payment in year three of the deal to be able to do these signings.

Glad they are able to keep Campbell.  I wonder if they can sign Douglas now or not?

Now sign Rasul and the D should be OK.

You choose to go all in, you go all in.  Future be damned.

Hats off to De'Vondre...that is a damn club friendly contract...he could have gotten more on the open market.

Worst case scenario, they have to sell Title Town.

Having DC back means the Packers don't have to take a big swing at LB early...they can wait till 3rd or 4th...unless of course Chenal is there for the taking...

Just the smow hill

Whoo hoo!
De’Vondre Campbell was my A1 priority free agent signing for the Pack. 😁

If Adams and Rodgers are both coming back as well, we should just assume the bill for all this will come due in 2024 or so and we should expect a 3-14 type season when they have to reset and carry about 75 million in dead cap charges for this all-in scenario?

Exciting day. It wasn’t that long ago when Packers free agency was crickets…

Man, I wouldn't have believed you last week if you said new deals for Smith, Campbell and Douglas. If they make something work with Douglas this is a legit top 5 defense in 2022.

OR the sledding hill.

ROTTT would not approve of this

Daire Carragher
Blake Martinez is earning more
money than De'Vondre
Campbell. I can't stress how
big of a steal this is for Green
Bay.

Campbell is going into his 7th year in the league, finally on a team where he fits scheme, Is well utilized and appreciated. Not to mention with Rodgers back they have legit chance at the Super Bowl this year.  What is that worth vs big $ in Jacksonville etc?

C’mon back Rasul!

Christian Kirk was reported to have signed a 4 year, 84 million dollar contract. That's technically true, but in reality he really signed a 2 year, 39 million dollar contract (basically fully guaranteed).

It's still crazy money for a guy like him and likely increases Adams' price, but it's not the 84 million that is being thrown around.

Campbell signing is huge and appears to be a real bargain. Really assumed he was as good as gone.

Adams can just ask his buddy for a couple bucks

If he becomes one of the best right tackles in football he’s worth more.
