That is just a stupid comment.

Yeah Jesmu needs to make like Jordan love, lower his head to you, and apologize for that

Sorry, how exactly are the Packers getting around his $98.4 million dead cap hit? I think I missed that in your analysis.

I dont' think it's a $98.4 cap hit.  Would be $42 and his cap hit for next year is $36M/falls off the books on a trade - so just a $6M delta.  Because it is a trade GB is only due his unallocated signing bonus, the other guarantees transfer to the acquiring team - based on what I've read.

But maybe you can link a different source that would suggest differently?

This is so ridiculous. Love has repeatedly played like a top 5 QB. If MLF calls a game for him like one, there isn't really any doubt

I understand Love has put up good numbers.  I like him.  But, he's the least athletic out of any of the top 5-10 QBs in the league.  Willis has shown he can make all the throws and he's a lot more dynamic playmaker.  Small sample size, yes, but it would be a ballsy move and GB could get some really good players in the draft with what they'd be able to get for Love.

Jordan love is not less athletic than Jared Goff and matthew stafford, Jesus Christ.

This is so dumb I'm not sure why I'm engaging. He has put up elite numbers while MLF dicked around and figured out he doesn't have a real running game.

If this team was not completely barren in the secondary (predictable the entire season) and decimated without its two most impactful DL (unlucky) this team would be at worst 10-4-1 and playing for something.

For clarity, $98.4 is the dead cap hit if the Packers released Love (not traded).

As mentioned, he has one of the most untradeable contracts in the NFL.
