2025 Green Bay Packers Thread

Shoulda peddled his ass to the Broncos who spent like a drunken sailor for #3, hey?

No team is trading a reigning MVP that had just led his team to the 1 seed.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

He gowne.

[4everwarriors]

Get your Love jersey while they're still in stock, hey?

Why not?  Seriously, why not?  That same qb who lost to Tampa Bay at Lambeau with Tom Brady throwing 3 interceptions?  The same QB who mustered 10 points against San Francisco is a divisional playoff game a year later at Lambeau?

The Jets will learn what the Packers knew, Rodgers isn't going to ever repeat 2010

[Uncle Rico]

Packers should be willing to trade out of 13 and add more picks.  Get young and if Love bombs, start anew in 2024.  Excited for a Packers season for the first time since 2014.

I suspect teams are going to have a hard time trading down in this draft, and if they do, they won't get great value. The consensus seems to be there are a handful of non-QB bluechippers out there, and after that, there's not much difference between guys who will go in the teens and guys who will go 15-20 picks later.

#10 and the 13th pick should be able to get 'em pick #30, hey?

[CreightonWarrior]

The conditional SHOULD be a 1st round pick next year.

If one of the 4 QBs fall, someone will want in.  Big if.

That's also why I'd be willing to move down, even if it's just worth a 3rd or 4th.  Either way, it's a great day for the Packers organization

Yes.  The return was better than I expected.

[Dish]

Gutekunst is saying it's "not finalized" due to "paperwork," which my guess is that Rodgers has to sign an amended contract to lesson the cap hit.

To me, this was always the bigger story than the draft compensation. What the financial impact is for both teams this year and next is more interesting.

Agreed. It all seemed to come down to two 2nds or a 1st and a 2nd.  Playing 65% of the snaps seems a pretty low bar for converting that pick into a first

He'll probably retire in October and start a podcast

The Packers can't move any of the $40.3 million dead cap with this move, they'll have to eat all of it in 2023. Effectively, after accounting for draft picks and practice squad, the Packers net cap is negative $1 million (as of now) heading into the season. Obviously will have to get creative.

[Herman Cain]

Didn't get enough, aina?

I agree with this analysis

[muwarrior69]

...and the Jets will be just as terrible as they always have been.

[WhiteTrash]

IMHO, the Packers get a B- on this deal. Should have moved him a year earlier and could have managed the cap better. Still a decent draft capital return for a top 10 QB but with a limited career left.

[Herman Cain]

Looks like Packers are off the hook for Contract of Rodgers from a monetary perspective . I guess the dead cap hit is still there .

Not sure why that needed an article. An "expected" "formality" for a Jets player.

[Dish]

Packers to win the North at +500 are nice odds. Definitely some Ewing Theory potential, and the division feels still pretty open.

🤔

[Herman Cain]

Rodgers arrives at Jets facility. Hope he does well enough to get 65 percent of snaps this coming season. Would help the packers cause if that 2024 second turns into a first

Whether he plays well enough or not doesn't matter. An injury is the only thing that keeps GB from getting the 1st round pick.

Well it kinda does because if he plays 65% but plays terrible we get a better spot. Question is if he gets benched to save the 1 if he plays like @$$.

Apparently not.
