I don’t blame Adams at all.  Owners and teams don’t give a fuck about players,...  

Look no further than the Browns signing that turd Watson.  100% he’s guilty even if he was indicted.  Or AD, or Vick, or any one of the tens of NFL players who are pieces of shit.  It’s all about winning.  The owners are business people, and winning makes more money. The players are commodities and they know that.

I don’t blame Adams at all either, he got what the market was willing to pay AND got to go somewhere he’ll enjoy living more.  He did a great job for us and earned his opportunity. Sorry to see him go, but good luck to him.

Man, it's so ridiculous how that Colin Kaepernick guy always is complaining about black players being treated like....

Never mind.

I  guess with all the thumbs down, there are a lot of davante lovers here. This isn't a racial thing. Just my opinion on overpaid athletes who don't give a fuck about anyone but themselves.



And a lot of people worship them and think it's OK

The NFL is a cutthroat business.  Everyone screws each other over.  There is no loyalty.  Ethics be damned as well.

It’s all about winning and making money but if push comes to shove making money is more important.  

I stopped being outraged and pissed off a long time ago.  And you know what?  My interest in both the NFL and the Packers isn’t what it used to be due to the fact that greed and self interest has hijacked the sport.  

It is what it is.

I also know that it just might be possible that Green Bay Wisconsin isn’t exactly a destination for a lot of players and their families?

They offered him comparable dollars who cares?   It’s Vegas v Green Bay.  Lower taxes and the Strip versus freeze your nuts off half the year and Kwik Trip.  

I love WI from June-October but the rest of the time not so much.

People that diss the SW either have never been there or are just the typical provincial Sconnie types.

You forgot Applebees

The more I think about this trade, the more it sucks. You just don't find talent like Davante very often and it is really unfortunate that he left during a year when we were supposedly  "all in".  The likelihood of those 2 draft picks having anywhere near the impact as DA are slim to none.

I keep waiting to see headlines that we have signed someone. It sounds like we have known for a while that this was going to happen so it seems odd that they haven't signed anyone yet (WIll Fuller, Jarvis Landry, etc...)

Since when does Gutey do things you expect? In my experience, he tends to do things people least expect such as bringing in the Smith Bros and Amos in the same year.

My guess is he’s going to sign MVS and then draft a WR and roll with the corps we have.

Good point. Gute certainly is not predictable. I'm hoping we pick up at least 2 vets in addition to adding through the draft. Not sure what's out there for FA TE's.

Adams is a great receiver. I've never seen anybody get open like that guy. He'll be pretty good in Las Vegas.

But still, I was elated with this trade...Bill articulates those reasons so much better than I can.

I would feel a lot better about it if we had better options at WR and TE. As it stands, the team just got a lot worse. No doubt that signing a guy to that level of a contract at his age is risky as well.
