My pay per view match would be Stepaniak vs Mike Daniels.
One (more) reason to get him signed!

Bigs who can consistently beat whoever lines up across from them are pretty rare.
It looks like the coach is trying to implement a modern day Denver running game (plug and play RBs with a passing twist)
My guess is Clark cashes, Jones walks.
If it's a matter of one stays and one goes, that's definitely the outcome. Bigger picture is Bak is another pending FA. If you can only keep two of them Jones is the odd man out. But maybe that $3 million from Taylor will be quickly used for front loading a new deal for Jones?
I guess I left some stuff unsaid-
My priorities would place Aaron Jones last among Clark, Baktiari and King. Right now (according to OTC) Packers have 39M space for next year. On Sportrac I saw Clark alone listed as an 18M/year market value, with A. Jones having 13M market value.

Will be lucky to get him under $20 million. $18 million is Tre Flowers salary. Clark, Buckner, Lawrence and Donald are all over $20 mil.

I need to see another year or at least first half of the season before I can decide what should be done with King. If I'm deciding today I'd put Jones before King.
Yeah Clark is going to command big money. Probably part of the reason they restructured Lane Taylor, gotta squeeze out every cent they can in 2020 so his cap hit beyond 20 isn’t unmanageable. I agree on the lack of urgency for RB, BUT I will point out that in times where haven’t had a featured back (I.e. no Jones, Lacy, Grant) it’s been glaring and obvious. Priorities should be Clark, Bakh, Jones, King.
Yep, that's the way I'd order it today, too. With Clark and Bahk 1a and 1b then Jones and King.
Clark/Bahk, King/Jones. RB shelf life is why I put King just ahead of Jones -- but it's close.
Bak and Clark. Everybody else gets what's left.
other than Rodgers, has any player gotten a 3rd contract from the Packers in the past 10 years. At 29 years old I would think Bahk should get it.
and for just wierd information Bakhs full name is David Afrasiab Assad Bahhtiari. What tribe is that?
Maybe not specifically 10 years, but going back to ~'07 Jordy got 3 from GB, and technically Tramon just finished his 4th with GB.
Bakh is apparently of Icelandic and Iranian descent.
Well, you know IcelandAir lets you stop over in Iceland for up to two weeks before going to anywhere else with no additional penalty cost... maybe someone iced some Icelandic cookies? (Iceland is waaaay cool, BTW.)
I think this is the reason why I’m optimistic about Lazard actually being something. He just seemed to have that IT factor in key moments. Rodgers wants to feed him the ball also, I think there’s something to be said for that as well, kid will certainly get chances to prove himself.
Remember when Allen Lazard sparked the #Packers' comeback win in Week 6 after Rodgers pleaded to get him in the game?

Lazard had no catches all season until this moment. Finished w/ 4 rec for 65 yds & 1 TD (all team-highs)...all in the 4th Q

The body control on that shot is ultra impressive, keeps both feet in, holds onto the ball on a contested catch. Impressive.
He did the things we were all hoping Kumerow could do. And Janis before him.

Flew in there on way back home from Paris, they really go all out in trying to get you to stay there and buy excursions .... however, it was 42 degrees when we flew in at 7 AM .... in July. That was a bit of a deterrent to staying.
Whoa.
Makes sense I suppose.
@AdamSchefter: In an effort to combat COVID-19, NFL teams are likely to bring fewer than the regular 90 players they ordinarily bring to training camp, per league sources. One source is predicting 80 per team, another 75, but no one is expecting 90....
Don't want some scrub infecting players you care about.
Better be sure that 'scrub' isn't the next Tramon Williams or Sam Shields.
If other teams are only bringing in 75 or 80 players that means there are an additional 310 to 465 players out there who would normally be getting a look on an NFL roster, but are now available due to corona virus concerns.
I for one am hoping Alex Light goes away. Preferably to the Vikings. Hope Yosh Ninjman steps up his game.
Matt LaFleur essentially says the Packers are keeping three QBs this year (they kept two last year): Aaron Rodgers, Tim Boyle and Jordan Love: "The three guys we wanted to focus on, the three we know we're gonna have, I believe, on our roster."

That's really not surprising. No way they were going into this season (if there is one) with Love as the backup.
