Jordy is the type of guy Green Bay fans love. He's white, he's an unheralded "try hard"/blue collar guy, and he gets the job done.

But I'll wait to see what Davante Adams looks like, before I decide how much to pay him. To say nothing of Richard Rodgers, Colt Lyerla and Brandon Bostick.

Jordy's coming up on 30, no?

I have never believed the Packers BPA draft crap they preach to the fans. It all started with the 6 defensive players in 2012, and this cemented it for me. It can not be coincidence that they drafted 4 receiving threats the year before their big 3 returning WRs were in their contract years. This has to be part of the team's plans, and although Nelson talked during OTAs about wanting to get resigned before training camp, I can't see him, Cobb, or Boykin getting signed before we get some idea of what we have with this draft class.

Raji's is a relative blip on the salary cap radar now anyway, that is unless he does something this year with his shift to NT.

Cruz doesn't run the ball like Cobb is, he's not your prototypical slot guy and I'm sure he and his agent will exploit that.

Not that I mean for this to just be a Cobb/Cruz comparison, but point being I think Cobb will be very expensive.

Would it not be that if they renegotiate this years 3.5 mil upwards that they could settle on a lower number over the next three years?

I mean if he's going to be paid 3.5 this year without any renegotiating and then 30mil over 3 that comes out to 33.5mil over four years. If they bump him to 8mil now and 8 over the following 3 that's 32million. Surely that would be good enough, eh?

Player contracts are certainly not my strong suit.

Don't pay him and let him walk. If Jennings got us a 3rd round comp pick Nelson will do the same. Ted Thompson has a proven track record in drafting WR's.

Cobb may well be expensive but I don't really think he has much of an argument to be paid more than Cruz at this point. It's possible he has a huge season and another team is willing to throw that much money at him but as of now I don't really see his value being that high.

dfosterf (55m) : Can't find the toggle, lol

dfosterf (55m) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .

Zero2Cool (1h) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.

dfosterf (1h) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes

dfosterf (1h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (1h) : *Friday*

dfosterf (1h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (1h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (2h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (2h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (2h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (2h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (2h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (2h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (2h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (2h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (2h) : And if everyone has heard of them, then it it probably has less growth potential and less community based

dfosterf (3h) : I swear if I were to discover that one of them has invented a virtue signalling transmitter I will not be surprised, lol

dfosterf (3h) : -Not saying woke, but should- borderline philanthopist venture capital excercise

dfosterf (3h) : Well for one, they are pouring resources into Title Town Tech. Investing beer, brat, hot dog, ticket money into what is pretty much...

beast (9h) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (25-Jul) : *cafeteria* I have hit my head also, so I sympathize

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (25-Jul) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (25-Jul) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing
