2025 Green Bay Packers Thread

Wow, without Aaron Jones, no way they are in the playoffs last season.
As dumb as releasing Davante Adams?

lol

[cheebs09]

Definitely fills a need for The Packers.

Still doesn't make up for release Aaron Jones . Heart and Soul of the team.

If a 30 year old RB is the heart and soul of your team, you won't be good for very long.

Everyone knows all of this. Maybe try having an original thought instead of just being a copy boy for AP.

Yo man, have a drink or something.

I appreciate your opinion of my post. Doesn't matter if you agree or disagree with me. Opinion - not press releases - is the backbone of an Internet forum.

He was terrible last year.  Then again, you wanted to trade Jordan Love and thought Anders Carlson was the best player on the team, so your judgment on these matters is worse than your judgment on college basketball

This was expected.  He is old and washed.

Low risk deal with Dillon

Sounds like the Packers are adding a third kicker.  Greg Joseph might be signing a deal.

Weird move since Herm told us Carlson was the best player on the team.

Maybe he's being signed as a specialist for extra points and the gimme kicks within 40 yards

City of Green Bay versus the Packers is certainly interesting from both perspectives. I can see where the Mayor/city government feels like Lambeau is tapped out on revenue and it has to be used for more than just Packer football, and I can certainly understand the Packers side of things.

Still 9 years on the lease, but will be interesting to see what type of posturing the Packers do.

Honestly, the problem I have with the situation is the Packers decided to make all this public.  Mark probably should have shut up.  He has a year left on his deal and could have let the new guy deal with the situation.

And I really don't blame the City here.  The line that the City has one of the best lease deals in sports is obviously misleading because those deals are always weighted in favor of the team.

Furthermore, all of the investment the Packers have been making in the local neighborhoods hasn't been in Green Bay. The Titletown District is in Ashwaubenon. As is the Hutson Center and the Resch Center.  Obviously the City benefits from the Packers in many ways, but that doesn't mean it has to accept a terrible lease.

And the Packers cancelling $80 million worth of off-seasons projects just looks so petty.

One thing that goes unsaid here is that I know both sides are concerned about the long-term viability of the seating bowl portion of the stadium. It eventually is going to need some significant maintenance, but I don't know how you do that given schedules and the fact its an ADA nightmare.

[Dish]

My pure guess is Murphy went public to put whatever public pressure he/the team can start to levy out there. I agree that I think this was a dumb play, unless the Packers long term plan is to move.

I'd be curious what the STH % is for Brown County (I have no idea). I'd be lying if I said I knew the Packers charter in and out. I would assume if the Packers wanted to move to Milwaukee, the Board of Directors would put it to a vote, and then conduct a stock sale to fund a new stadium (?).

[The Sultan]

I agree that it was a ploy to put leverage on the City, but that's not going to work...at least for now.

But the Packers are for sure going to stay in Green Bay. Not a chance they move. The Board of Directors is mostly made up of people from the Green Bay area. And furthermore, there is zero reason for the leadership of the team to go through that nightmare. There is no owner to enrich here.

What you are seeing here is a (rightfully IMO) annoyed City of Green Bay being asked to accept less money while the team is investing heavily in projects located in the Village of Ashwaubenon. Outside of ancillary economic benefits, Green Bay gets nothing from what happens in the new Titletown District. And I would argue that Titletown is taking away weekend activity that used to occur elsewhere in the area too.

IMO they will eventually sort this out. They will figure out some compromise position, and the Packers will announce some sort of project in the City at the same time or shortly after.
