The Giants don't match up against the Packers, we just choked & they got the credit and the win unfortunantly. This team is hungrier then ever, 15-1 and 1 and out will give the whole team a grudge.

Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

A two-year contract is very good for Finley. His agent did a marvelous job of setting him up for a huge payday in two years. I don’t see how he won’t live up to his potential. His impact in this offense is obviously huge. Aaron Rodgers had his two best statistical seasons with Finley playing a majority of snaps. Very few teams can matchup against the Packers with him in the lineup. Unfortunately, the Giants were one of those teams. Nonetheless, this is a good deal for the Pack, but an even better deal for Finley assuming he remains healthy.

thread woulda been boring had we all just said "yay jmike!"

in the words of @adbrandt "Reading Finley responses reminds me of time as NFL team negotiator. Most are asking "What about Flynn?" On to the next."

Thread reflects that.

Back topic. Porky & Dakota nailed it. This is good for AR so it is good for the team. In 2 years they will certainly know a lot more about the rest of the TEs.

Some are talking like Finley had a terrible season. Drops-wise, yeah, big problems, but he did have 55 receptions for 767 yards and 8 touchdowns. I'll take those digits from the TE position every year. Erase the drops and cha-ching!

Finley just has one of those flamboyant personalities and it is easy to dog his ass when he screws up. Go back and watch the Arizona playoff game from a few years ago and you'll quickly realize why we are forking over 15M. The next cotract will be huge.

I'm pretty sure Finley would have about 1200 yards playing with favre in that west coast styled offense. Favre LOVED the TE as his hot read.

Zero2Cool (13h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (18h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (18h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (18h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (18h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (18h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (18h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (18h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (18h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (18h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (18h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (18h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (18h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (19h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (20h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (20h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (20h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
