Official General 2021 Offseason Thread

We’ll see. Gonna be tougher then last year.  They will have 10 playoff teams on the schedule if they add the Chiefs game.  I don’t see them getting any better.

So GB will go 13-4.  And GB will STILL win the division.

I am not going to lose sleep, get an ulcer, or get into a early grave over something I as a fan/owner (such as it is) have no control over.  And that includes the schedule, free agency, the draft, or any other aspect of the Packers.  But you are certainly welcome to do so - don't let us stop you. 

But you make it sound like you have control with your access and sure fire fixes.  SO don't complain to us when you can complain to Packer management.

Someone explain why they haven’t restructured Rodgers?  Why?  

Enlighten me please!!!

Is AR a free agent?  NO.  So if they are going to restructure - and they may not need to for free agency purposes - they have some time.  FA starts tomorrow.  If they need to RS ARs contract to sign draft picks,  the draft is in 45 days.  There is time. 

Again, use your access and go ask the people who can do something about it.  It is NOT our place to "enlighten" you about something the rest of us have no knowledge of.  It is our place to discuss stuff and then see what happens - that's what fans do.

I never said I had any access that could do anything about Aaron Rodgers contract! Geez!

What I said is I have heard from “Several Sources” that he wanted a “1+4=5 year Extension”

So now were gonna take things completely out of context.  Gotch ya!

GB-B - Take the advise of the Irish.  Gulp 2 aspirin and drink this.  Things will look better in the morning.

I swear this guy is from Rube Chat

And there are voices in my ear
I guess these never disappear
I'll let 'em squeal, and I won't deal
And make up my own mind
Might still have voices in my head

So, one of the best Packer players in the last 20 years has decided to retire, but everyone is arguing with this rubechat idiot?

Yeah, they didn’t give it to him because Rodgers is gonna retire and elope!! Yeah, that’s it!

Or

“Everything is Tight lipped at 1265 DUDE!!!!”

Or

Pound Sand With Jordan Love!!!  “Winner,Winner,Winner”!!!!!!

Guy, this is embarrassing

Classic meltdown, quoting himself.   Melt away boy.

I missed his funny posts.

I don't.  I find your insights a valuable addition to the suppository of x4 wisdom. 

Plus, I want some hot Air BnB tips.  I'm thinking a Packers sex dungeon theme.

Nobody gives a shit what you heard at the Kwik Trip gas pumps guy.

Can't read then either.

You must have a thing for Kwik Trip cause you keep bringing it up and I don’t go there!!

What's with guys named Brandon?

I seriously doubt that.

Depends. What was this Kwik Trip guy smoking?

It’s better to be a fool and listen, than open your mouth and remove all doubt.  

On the plus side, he has provided a few days of entertainment

How can you be so sure it’s NOT him?

@BillHuberSI: Packers have about 7 hours to get below the cap. They’re somewhere in the neighborhood of $10 million over. The only scrambling will be by reporters to figure it out because I’m sure they have.

Okay, I thought they started out at 9 million over the cap and the combined moves already have gotten them close to flush?

I would bet SI doesn't have any better info on the Packer salary cap status other than what they want to make up.  If they made a call to GB they would not get any info and the NFL likely would not divulge any teams salary cap status - and those are the only two entities that know the truth.  The Packers have been 9-10 mill over the cap regardless of how many players restructure.  Someone is lying. 

Offers made. Lazard will be back.

Z Smith adjusts his contract.

@FieldYates: In his restructured deal with the Packers, Za'Darius Smith had his $5M roster bonus and $9.76M of his base salary for 2021 converted into a signing bonus. That created $7.38M in cap space for Green Bay.

Smith's cap # goes up for 2022, when he could be an extension candidate.

@TomSilverstein: By the way, Za’Darius Smith’s cap number for ‘22 is now about $28M. They will be very motivated to extend him this year.

Few minutes maybe. Lets not get carried away. It got old after about a dozen posts of the same shit.

And now for a comment focusing on FOOTBALL!

I’m watching NFL network as the rubes there discuss how the Packers have already lost Linsley, Kirksey and Jamaal Williams!  Oh my!  Silly people.  I look at what they’ve done and considering the cap situation is commendable.  I’d even say they are looking like they’re going “all-in” (which the nfl network says they are apparently NOT doing).

Can’t wait for the draft.  I was very concerned about losing many key players during the off season, but I think the FO is doing a great job.  Add in 10 draft picks and this is going to be interesting.

Also hoping that we can sign Swerve for next season.  I really think his speed and pre-snap motion adds a lot to our offense, and I didn’t like Tavon Austin in the same role.

Tavon Austin was risk adverse in that he didn't want to take any hits in punt return duty. Bye!

And AUstin fumbled on a punt return. He's done.

I think that's one of the reasons they let Jamal walk. They have two important RB roles filled with Jones and Dillon. For the 3rd RB they should have that guy that can return kickoffs and run the jet sweep. A guy like Ervin but more talented and less prone to getting injured.

A RB in the 4th round

Some of us are capable of doing more than one thing at the same time.
