And we let him go!

I was in that cult. Really wanted to see him play last year. I was hoping we'd have the NFC sewn up by game 16 so we could watch him play. Dude has a seriously live arm.

Former #Packers QB Tim Boyle, a cult figure in Green Bay the last few years, is staying in the NFC North and signing with the #Lions, source says.

That's kind of interesting. With Goff this is one of very few rosters where Boyle might actually get a shot at a little playing time.
Here is what Wes Hod.... in the INBOX at Packers.com has to say about restructuring ARs contract.
"But Aaron Rodgers has restructured his contract before. He did it in 2019, the year after his extension. Yes, the Packers could go that route again but that would mean driving up Rodgers' cap number even more in 2022 and 2023. Russ Ball is the best at what he does. I promise if that's the route the Packers feel was best to create space, they'd do it. But we need to end this myth about Rodgers and restructures and recognize everything that goes into those decisions."
The point here isn't what he deserves, but how restrictive having one player take up a fifth of your salary cap can be.

Me too. I think he's gonna do really well and the intangibles he learned by hanging with AR 24/7 is going to help him and his arm kick ass in the NFL.
The good news is he gets Mark Brunell as QB coach, the bad news is he gets Anthony Lynn as OC.
Boyle only has a 1 year deal, so if Lynn continues to suck, Boyle can move on.
The transition from MLF to Lynn will be tough for Boyle; same going from a winner in GB to an also-ran in Detroit. From the penthouse to the outhouse

This is really a poor way to portray that contract. The reality is that AR moved cash from 2020 into 2021, so 2021 is overloaded and 2020 was underloaded.
You could also say that the Packers got MVP-level play for only $ 21M last season and they should build a statue of Gute. But that's not reality either
A better way to portray it is to add 2020 + 2021 together and average both -
That's $ 29 Million. And that's only 15 % of the cap and much more in line with what other QBs are paid.
The other part of this that's off base is that Rodgers deal like all the others - were written when the cap was going up $10-12M per season. 2020 saw an unforeseeable drop - which makes the salary a higher percentage than what was planned for at the time it was consummated
Overall, I don't think this tweet adds much useful information to the discussion, but that's just like my opinion man.
Tim Boyle's 2020 highlights:

I hope Jordan Love finishes all 19 games this way in 2021/22.
And the Chargers signed Jared Cook, depriving the legendary Taysom Hill of a weapon.

@AdamSchefter: Former Bears' QB Mitchell Trubisky is signing with the Buffalo Bills, per @JFowlerESPN and me.
Interesting time stamps on these tweets. This CJ dude keeps claiming insiders like schefter aren't giving him credit for his insider knowledge.
Hearing that Kenny Golladay has agreed to a multi-year deal with the #Giants. Hear come the dominos

Sources: The Golladay deal with the #Giants is all but finalized. The visit has to do with the hip injury he was dealing with all of last season, and is more precautionary than anything else. Daniel Jones has his WR1.

And now Schefter nearly 24 hours later...
Lions' free-agent WR Kenny Golladay spent Wednesday night meeting with Bears GM Ryan Pace and HC Matt Nagy, per source. He is scheduled to be in New York tonight to meet with the Giants.

Honestly, I don't get what Dalton brings that Mitchy or Nick Foles didn't. All 3 are average-ish QB's who give you brief rays of sunshine thinking they are good followed by long periods of very ho-hum QB play.
I would have saved the money and just stayed with Trubisky.
Former Packers’ DE Montravius Adams reached agreement with the Patriots on a 1-year deal worth up to 2.5 million, per @DrewJRosenhaus, who now has done five deals this week with New England.

#Packers only got 595 total defensive snaps out of Montravius Adams, the 93rd overall pick in 2017. 1.5 sacks, 44 tackles.

Not a good ROI.
@RapSheet: #Texans speedy FA WR Will Fuller is signing a 1-year deal with the #Dolphins, sources tell me and @TomPelissero.
What we know:
Gunt & Murphballs are HELL BENT on pushing a square peg into a round hole and making Jordan Love work in Green Bay!!!

So you're saying Rodgers' moves with Olivia & Danica will help him out? 
I'm sure Adams will turn into Richard Seymore now that he's in New England
Damn - Monty Adams gets 2.5MM from the Hoodie. Amazing.

So he signs with a team where he has zero chance to start.
I'd like to see that contract.
"Sign here shithead, or don't. It doesn't matter because you're trash. Maybe we'll give you a uniform".
The be@rs are cutting Fuller. The Pack tried to sign him a couple years ago, I wonder if there is still interest there.
From Rapoport
”The #Bears are releasing veteran CB Kyle Fuller, sources say, a cap casualty. In a tough 2021 offseason, this is Chicago’s only cut due to cap space. A former All-Pro corner now hits the market.”
@Henry posted:It should cut his interceptions in half.
There you go, keeping a brother down. He can still throw picks when he wants to.
He's so inferior he'll probably throw zero interceptions.

"Sign here shithead, or don't. It doesn't matter because you're trash. Maybe we'll give you a uniform".
with the GM's job and reputation on the line, The Bears gave up four draft picks in trade with San Francisco in order to trade up to select Trubisky out of North Carolina. betcha the Bills GM didn't even offer a pack of trojanz.
@Henry posted:They can't afford him.
The irony here is that the Packers made Fuller an offer as an RFA - and structured the contract in such a way that if the bears wanted to keep him, they'd have to match that structure...which is why Fuller is now being cut...for cap purposes.
OTC has him valued as a $ 10M / yr player, but his cap hit ballooned to $20M

YUP!
The Bears tried to keep Kyle Fuller by asking him to take a VERY significant paycut, but he would rather test the market, per source.

@Gil_Brandt
Think your team "won" free agency? Congrats. Only one SB winner in the last 10 years has exceeded $100M in FA spending, and only four have been in the top half of the league in FA spending the year they won it, none inside the top 10. So, again, congrats for nothing.P
