Too much money, but all the Sallies will be happy. Get House and Bulaga signed.

Sounds like a lot of money, and if it is a true 10m a year contract I am very surprised and hope this doesn't come back to haunt us. I don't believe he is worth it, and could look like Ted panicked and overpaid.

Aaron should get a "High Five" for this signing... I have a feeling and am pretty sure his decision was made, based ( At least a little.) on who would be best at getting him the ball.

17 Million guaranteed. That is the key number.

Until all the details come out let's make it easy and say 16mil.

That's 4 mil a year

I'm betting his base will look something like
2015...2ml
2016...5mil
2017...7mil
2018..10mil

That would be a very friendly contract, cap hit not to much the 1st 3 years, with everyone knowing that 4th year will be reworked.
Everyone is happy!

Not surprised...cupboard was far too bare to let him walk.

A relief that one of our CORE guys is back. So, it's a million more per season than we offered? If that's the case this EXACTLY why FLEXIBILITY is important. Had Ted Thompson really stuck to his guns on 9 million as was reported we lose a star for one million more per.

Just as I suspected... couldn't let him walk. Will be very curious to read all the Ted Thompson sychophants that were hailing his fiscal responsibility. Kinda in a tough position to comment now. Should be some good reading.

RC18 is back in TitleTown.

So you think you finally got one right.

Congratulations.

Quit coming off as this self righteous "I know more than anyone else" clown.

Ever think that The Packers knew exactly what they were doing?

I'm negotiating a contract, I'm not going to put my final number on the board first.

I'm. Gonna come in low to start and wait for a response.

That's exactly what happened.

Happens every year.
Teams leak their starting numbers, agents leak theirs.

In this case they came to a happy agreement.

Of course you being so much more informed then the rest of us, you already knew that.

This is great news.
Now, hopefully the rest of the pieces fall into place and the Packers can take care of some unfinished business.

We should be ok overpaying for a few guys here and there because our last couple of drafts have gone pretty well and the only "must sign" players we have becoming free agents next year are Daniels and possibly Hayward. Overpaying in FA gets you in trouble when you do it with someone who doesn't produce at all and that isn't going to happen with our "overpaid" guys like Cobb, Shields, and so far Matthews.

Lucky for us we've got a top 10 WR on this team who is going to be nothing but happy that the #2 is making more than him and we don't have to worry about him throwing a diva hissy fit.

Adam Schefter just reported Cobb is staying in Green Bay.

As far as the signing I am ok with it but I was actually hoping we would have improved our offense. The likes of an Andre Johnson and Julius Thomas on this team really made me feel good but now I am back to the idea of ya we will make the playoffs but won't win the big one. We once again will have to go thru Seattle and that is Rodgers kryptonite. Well now that free agency is over time to get hyped up for the draft and then be disappointed lol. I see it already Cooper sitting there by some miracle and Ted Thompson passes on him for some guy that was injured last year lol.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (12h) : 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 (17h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (17h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (17h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (17h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (17h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (17h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (17h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (17h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (17h) : 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 (18h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (19h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (19h) : 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?
