Make him as offer, Gute.

Unlike Aaron Rodgers, Rasul Douglas Knows He Wants to Be With the Packers in 2022: ‘I Built a Family Here’

Douglas is young enough that he could very well attract the big bucks in free agency. Whether or not the Packers will have the cap space or desire to hand them out to him is another conversation.

I watched his interview, he said it’s not about the money and when asked what it would take to get him back here, he responded “all they gotta do is ask me to come back”.

Also- how about we don’t make another topic about Aaron Rodgers “wanting out”? Cool.

Wow....a guy that’s not yelling “show me the money!!!!”😂

Now.....will the be true? I don’t know. I guess we will see.

Davonte Adams seems to be all about the money. Which is sad.
And would.....uh......an unnamed QB, give the Packers a hometown discount to stay another year?

There is so much unknown for next year. Will we even recognize the team when the season begins? I don’t know.

Like Bakhtiari got #1 OT money, even though he was quickly passed by the 49ers LT.

Adams probably wants #1 WR money, not the money, but the respect to say he earned #1 WR money and he's the best WR in the NFL, and also because he knows that even if he gets it, he'll be quickly passed, as a large increase in the cap is coming in 2023, so even if he gets #1 WR money, someone will likely be passing him soon.

Also Douglas has had 5 teams let him go... Adams has had 0.

So, he wants #1 money. I doubt the Packers will be able to afford to keep him.
The only time I remember a pro athelete taking a lot less money to stay with the team that drafted him was Robin Yount with the Milwaukee Brewers.
It can happen, but it’s rare.

Plus at age 30, it'll be his last chance at a big payday.

He didn't have the leverage that he does now, but he or his agent, clearly didn't fully use their leverage in 2017 as many were thinking he probably would of got a better deal then, though if that was on purpose or a mistake by them, I don't think any of us can say... and maybe Ball was able to talk them into a lesser amount due to his stats, we don't know.

But I feel like currently, Adams is all about trying to prove he is the #1 WR in the NFL... in everything, including but not limited to contract value.
