Because an elite QB is WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY better than having an elite WR.

Sure, but why give your notoriously mercurial elite QB $50 million a year and then not surround him with the pieces needed to win a championship and keep him happy?

Hate to see him go - but you can't pay everyone.

I'd much rather have Jaire & Elgton re-sign than Adams (mainly because of age).

I thought Vegas would trade for a stud WR, but thought it would be DK Metcalf.

Once Kirk signed his ridiculous contract, it was the end of the end of Adams in Green Bay. There was no way they could pay him and Rodgers in the neighborhood of $75-$80 million this year and next.

It would be hilarious if Green Bay drafted a QB with the first round pick acquired from Vegas.

Adams' new contract = $141.25M over 5 years.
Of course, what really counts is what's guaranteed.

Rapaport reporting that Rodgers knew. Confusing times. Can't wait for WR1 Cole Beasley

Congrats on everyone getting paid. Would have been nice to let someone else absorb a 70m dead cap hit under the circumstances

Apparently the Packers don't believe that signing Adams to a monsterous contract is necessary to win a championship.

They are incorrect.

I will say, Rodgers will likely avoid a lot of bad tendencies (that often ended in glorious ways) without Adams

Apparently they do, since they reportedly were willing to give Adams the same deal.

So then your beef shouldn't be with the Packers.

I mean, there's a reason why Adams didn't want to take the Packers money, right?

Gutsy is reaching Detroit levels of pissing off generational talents.

Rodgers very well could be a better pure system QB without Adams, but there is no world in which this version of the Packers is better.

Proof will obviously be in what they do with the capital, but the odds are against them striking gold

Other than getting da bread, I think Adams fooked himself over. He'll be just another guy with someone other than #12 tossin' 'im da pigskin. And, I know Carr and he were teammates in college, aina?

Yeah, the GM who has gotten them to NFCCG in two of the last three years, and the #1 seed in the last two, is just like Detroit's.

Great comparison.

There’s 0% chance they were willing to give him that same contract. You know it as well as I do. Green Bay & national media is going to be dizzy from the spin the Packers are throwing out there.

Sure.  But neither you nor I know what those reasons are.

In the last year, Adams went from saying he wanted to remain in Green Bay to wanting out. And that 12 months coincided with the Packers' front office dicking around with him on a long-term deal
Could these things be related? We'll never know.

You mean the long term deal that they apparently offered him?  You are engaging in circular logic right now.

Not really.
Rather than extending him any time over the last year, they franchised him, after he'd said he wouldn't play under the tag.
Setting fire to bridges sometimes gets you burned.

But apparently a GM who has a history of alienating his star players deserves the benefit of the doubt here.

"A history of alienating his star players?"  Before this, he alienated one...who is still on the team.  I am not sure what you wanted him to do.  I mean, he offered to make him the highest paid WR ever right?  But he turned him down, and went to a lesser team, because he got his feelings hurt?  Well OK.  I'm not blaming him for that.

Meanwhile he has overseen a team that needed to be rebuilt around Rodgers, and has completely done so.
