I was being facetious.

That didn’t take long:

Washington DT Tim Settle to Buffalo on a 2-year deal, per source. He will be reunited with Tremaine Edmonds from their VT days.

He turns 33 in 10 days the guaranteed money must be less. Likely multiple years on the back end that aren’t guaranteed in order to allow Von to get more money up front while spreading out the cap hit.

I just don’t see Hunter working out for a odd front D. Not big enough to be DT. A stand up outside rusher has different read / keys / responsibility.

On a even front he can be a terror as a DE.

Think of the rolling disaster it was when the Vikings traded for the guy from Jacksonville whose name I won’t even try to spell.

Davante Adams to the Raiders? Who the hell is Rodgers going to pass to? He was basically the only good receiver the Packers have had. Seems odd to re-sign Rodgers and then get rid of his biggest weapon. :confused2:

Rodgers is good but he can’t catch his own passes :mrgreen:

I bet Aaron wishes he’d gone elsewhere

I bet Aaron wishes he’d gone elsewhere

$50M reasons why he doesn’t..

There’s still a few good receivers available plus Julio Jones soon. I guess they could have signed Adams to a cap friendly deal but I saw yesterday that even after all tue moves they’ve made they were still 18 million over the cap so I guess they solved that problem. Something most likely had to happen with Adams by Sunday and I’ll guessing they didn’t want to pay him almost 30 million a year. That would mean about 40% of their team salaries would be tied up in 2 players.

No doubt Rodgers has a big ego and wanted the financial love… but a trade like this certainly doesn’t raise his odds for success either. That offense should be easier to play D against without Adams to worry about on the outside. Seems like a very odd situation.

It certainly wouldn’t be easy to replace Adams but this year’s draft is suppose to be a good WR draft and the Packers now have two 1st round picks.

Personally I think the Packers should use both first round picks on QBs since picking Jordan Love (one first round pick) didn’t get them Rodgers replacement. If at first you don’t succeed try try again. :biggrin2:

Julio has had constant injury issues and has a lot of mileage on him. His best days are clearly behind him. And no matter who’s they sign, it’s a step backward and it’s with a player that won’t have the same kind of chemistry with Rodgers.

I get that it comes down to finances but, IMO, this makes the Rodgers signing less impactful.

I’m sure they will pick a WR high… but relying on a rookie when you’re a team that doesn’t have very good options on the team already doesn’t seem like a winning strategy.

Jefferson and Chase are unique players who went to teams that already had a pretty good WR on their respective teams (Higgins at Cincy and Thielen for the Vikes). It helps the transition as a rookie when teams can’t key on you.

I bet Aaron wishes he’d gone elsewhere

You mean $153 reasons? He’s got a lot of guaranteed reasons.

I would not be surprised if ARodg took his guaranteed reasons, and just quit.

The QB carousel continues.

Doesn’t Watson still have some legal issues? If so, why would any time want to dump lots $$$ on him.

These are the potential picks Houston will get..Also the only other time a team has traded 3 #1 picks… Vikings in the Walker trade.

Yeah I can think of some notable exceptions to that but your understanding is similar to mine, typically those move forward more often than not especially federal cases.

Probable civil suits but no criminal. The league can still impose punishment even if there’s no criminal conviction and I’ve seen an expectation of a 4-8 game suspension.

Boy would that be something. Leave GB in one hell of a hole. I really doubt that would happen, but still.

Heard on 93X this morning: Davante and ARodg said they were like brothers. If you know anything about the Rodgers’ family, no wonder Davante left. :rim:

Adams agent is claiming the Packers offered him more than what he ended up signing for with the Raiders cause he wanted to play with Carr. Maybe they’re not so much “brothers” after all.

That’s what I heard too, it was the Carr thing. Allegedly, ARodg knew this…but if it was that important to him to play with Davante…why did he sign? Hmmm.

So he could be the highest paid player in NFL history

Until DeShaun killed that guaranteed portion with his new contract.

I think Watsons deal averages 46 and Arodg is 50. I believe Mahones has the highest overall total contract which gets to the point of numbers for numbers sake, he might not actually get all of it.

Guaranteed money is the key here. Not overall contract. I swear I read DeShaun just blew every contract away with the guaranteed part.

Case Keenum is reunited with Stefon Diggs.

Along with the really bad PR look, what if Watson is not done pulling this crap? 😬

Money makes people more of what they already are.

I mean…did you read the stories of what he did? He has plenty of money to pay the willing to do that.

Not excusing Watson’s alleged behavior, but he hasn’t been convicted of anything yet. NFL could still suspend him, sure, but…

Today Atlanta signed Marcus Mariota to a 2 year deal (haven’t seen the $ amount yet) and New Orleans resigned Jameis Winston to a 2 year – $28 million (21 million guaranteed) deal.

The dominos that are the most likely to still fall are Carolina and Seattle. Does Baker Mayfield and Jimmy G end up there?

Would San Francisco trade Jimmy G to a divisional opponent (Seattle)? If not who is going to trade for him. Cleveland and San Francisco are running out of teams to trade Baker and Jimmy to.

EDIT: the Marcus Mariota 2 year deal is for 18.75 million.

Duke Johnson to the Bills, are the reports. :shock:

I am going into shock with these (relatively) big signings. Bills are trying to plug EVERY hole this year.

This is a family website so take the hole plugging talk to your other chats rube

We can see where your mind went. Now really, WHO is the pervert here?

Chiefs apparently shopping Tyreek Hill. Jets and Dolphins are the teams being tied to him.

Sometimes I shake my head on the decisions players make. From what I read, the Chiefs offered him a very good contract that would have made him one of the highest paid receivers, but he chose to leave maybe the best QB and offense in the NFL and goes to Miami and Tua. I guess it is all about the money.

He also broke his own child’s arm as well as some other run ins with the law. He’s not one known for making good decisions.

Yep. So maybe the Chiefs are relieved to get rid of him.

These guys have short careers and probably should just take as much guaranteed money as they can get, I don’t think it’s a bad decision by any means.

At $5M per year, they will make more money in 2 seasons than normal people make in their entire working career. I don’t think he has to squeeze blood out of a turnip.

Unless the guy is a complete moron with money, he was easily set for life either way.

:wave:

Touché

But the point is still the same… :wink:

If a guy is dumb enough to go broke making 25 million a year, he’s probably still going to go broke making 30 million. :oops:

You mean he’s not going to be on skid row if he made $25 million a year versus the $30 million a year he’s getting from the Dolphins? :mrgreen:

Yeah but we’re talking about Tyreek Hill, that’s kinda the point here :lol:

And honestly 5 million a year is nothing to scoff at especially if you get to live in Miami over Kansas City.

Not to mention I am sure he can save quite a bit of cash in not paying state income tax in Florida. No idea what the tax rate is in NJ/NY or KS but I’m positive when tens of millions a year are involved it adds up.
