Especially if the Jets keep Saleh around for 2024. Continue to go "ALL-IN"
If not.....Packers DC baby
25 games....$86 Million
$3.44 Million per game. That's pretty substantial.... no?
Petty cash for me. (I plan to win Powerball.)
And I get thumbs down because he stole $86 million.
@Boris posted:If he agrees to restructure the deal (aka Hometown discount) i don't see why that isn't allowed. Question is...would he do it? I'm guessing no.
I'm sure it'll be great for him to pair up with 'Ol #8 on the Jets in 2024
He will go to the highest bidder period. If the most money he gets is staying with Packers on a restructure he will do it. That is his only motivation...money.

You don't really believe that, do you??
69 has said himself multiple times all considerations with his health are business decisions. I take the man at his word,
Heâs made a ton of money in his career so maybe heâs more motivated to win a ð. Problem is at this point there are several other teams that are more likely to win a championship than the Packers.

I'm sure he has a short list of teams he wants to play for and the Packers are one of them. To be on his list the team will have to be very competitive. He's not taking a lowball offer but playing time and winning will rank ahead of money, something he has plenty of.

So money isnât the only motivation. Because heâs making a shit ton of money whether he has surgery or not.
Hereâsa thought: maybe money is part of the equation. But maybe getting back on the field consistently and resuming his career as a HoF LT is his real motivation
. Cripes! David is just another horrible human being out for himself while try ing to fuck over the packers in the process.

Where did I say anything remotely close to this? JFC...
Not directed to you specifically, but too many people seem to complain about this guy as if heâs loafing, or is looking for a way to get out of GB. To say his âonly motivation is moneyâ is horseshit. To me, that is questioning his character. The guy has had one surgery after another to try and get back on the field. Prior to the injury, there was hardly a speck on his character. So to suggest his only motivation is money is to question his character.Iâd say GB holds the cards to his future with the Packers since heâs under contract beyond next year.
I tried to look at this from a different angle, which took some math, so I may/may not be close.
Figuring he will likely be paid $136.7M over the course of his career (11 years), and assuming he doesn't play in 2024, that works out to slightly under $12.5M/yr.
I didn't include his dead cap hit ($19M) next year, because it won't be paid to him, but since the team has to pay it, that bumps that figure up to slightly over $14.1M/yr.
I'd say he certainly has been paid handsomely, but I don't know if I can call it "stealing", no matter how it seems the last couple of years.

I'm going to ASSume you're taking this to the extreme for effect and not being serious.

I've seen a few say that, but it's a minority IMO and since that's the sensationalized "take" some people are running with it.
Pretty sad honestly.
I hope the guy finishes his career in Green Bay because he was drafted by Green Bay & I think he's excellent. Sometimes it's just not in the cards for it to work that way. If not, tip the hat and say Thank You for spending most of your career in Green Bay.
Statement win today for the Green&Yellow. Gotta 10ve it!#GoPackGo #HappyThanksgiving

I sure hope his knee is better so he can play at least one more year with the Packers and Jordan love at QB.
Bak lead cheerleader now
Not unless he takes a major pay cut
