Off-season needs:
1. OL, CB, WR
2. Everything else
Myers just got hurt. He's not lived up to expectations, but he's about the be a free agent and the shitty 4th string LG takes out his knee in a pretty much meaningless part of the game.
That might have cost him 12-15 million dollars.
Just thinking about the season postmortem. Compared to 2023, the defense, in general, was better this year. We definitely had a better kicker. Our running game was better. But the passing game clearly took a major step back and that’s why there’s a sour taste. Was it mainly Love? The receivers? Probably both, and the coaches really need to figure it out over the next few months if the team is going to take the next step.
Pretty simple, need more good players who don’t get hurt. Not easy
The positive thing is there isn't a single impending free agent worth a shit that they have to resign (Stokes or Myers are the only starters). I guess McManus you would want back.
Gute is going to have to have a hell of an offseason. We clearly need more talent at corner and receiver and linebacker. Also need to consider DL.
This team is closer to 8 wins (average) than 12+ (contender).
Adams says he wants to come back to Green Bay and Rodgers is open to teams outside the Jets. If we pull Manigold out of retirement, Gute could focus on defense in the draft.
On offense :
1) WR
2) C
3) LT (my hope is that Morgan takes a jump)
On defense;
1) CB
2) Edge

No Namath please

I'd be okay with Gute signing Stokes to a new contract if it's reasonable. Stokes played better this season.
Doubs needs to look at his long term health. He may be done as a football player. Not sure if Watson is just unlucky or is really made of glass. Just can't depend on him.
Hopefully Marshawn Lloyd can get healthy. Looking forward to what he can do next season. And if you are not going to throw to Musgrave you might as well trade him for D improvement.

Pack went 4-0 against the awful AFC South and 4-0 against the surprisingly bad NFC West in 2024 (including the Rams without Nacua and Kupp).
Got to think playing the AFC North and NFC East will be a bit more difficult in 2025.

Steelers and Browns are not exactly powerhouses and the Giants are likely to be terrible.
If Love plays to his contract, it won't matter who will they play. If we've seen the best of him already, it also won't matter who they play.
Maybe a rep or two in the preseason would help.

Yep. Plus this year he needs to be taking reps in camp on day 1. He couldn’t do that with the contract situation this past year.
I still have some hope Love has another level he can hit. That said, if we don’t see him step it up a notch next year, he probably never will.
