Everything being equal, few players want to come to GB.

If he's signing in GB it is because GB overpaid and/or he's trying to recreate his success with the Sons of Anarchy. With Clark becoming a little Snacks Harrison in '18 and Daniels, CM3 or Perry mimicking Sheldon Richardson's duel role of 5 tech DE/edge rusher, Wilkerson is hoping to cash in in 2019.

Even then, a big city is not a necessity for every single free agent on the market, like most seem to think.

And of course he's looking for the best situation for himself. He'll try to shine under Pettine and get one more big contract. That's a win for us, as well. Players on one year prove-it deals tend to give it their all. And if he's giving it his all, he's one of the best in the league. Giving him a $5 million base salary and $3 million based on incentives brings out the best in him, which is best for us.

Like teams like the '07 Giants have proven, a good pass rush can mask your problems in the secondary quite well. This signing will indirectly improve our back-end by quite a bit. More than re-signing the below average House would.

Because of the reticence to sign FA's over the last decade, we really don't know whether GB is a desired destination or not.
Regardless, having #12 with a defense gives us a well above average shot...and if I were a guy mid to late in my playing career, I would LOVE to play in Green Bay, all things being equal.
Also with increased horse power and with a greater level of depth at DL, we may make CM3 and Perry more effective.
Now lets
- Restructure CM3
- Restructure Cobb
- Sign/trade for a veteran CB or 2
- Tackle
- Cover
- Run slants, rubs, picks, and show some creativity on offense

There may be some confusion about the Green Bay as a destination thing though. Do people say that meaning no one wants to come here because they don't like Green Bay the city or do they not want to come here because they don't like Green Bay the organization?

As a city is Green Bay really that much worse than Buffalo or Cleveland or Cincinnati or any of the other smaller cities. I'm not saying those cities are bad just wondering if they are that much better.

As an organization, like you said, with Rodgers we are a contender and if any FA had a lick of confidence in his abilities I would think he would enjoy going to a contender where his actions could help push the team over the top.

I'll always love Green Bay, have family/friends still there, but players do not like living in a small town that's freezing 5 months of the year. Sure there are a small subset of players who grew up on farms in Iowa who don't mind it but that doesn't mean their wives/kids aren't bothering them to move too 😝

The Packers have Aaron F'in Rodgers, the types of players the Packers should be trying to attract are aging vets who still got enough juice left for one last title run or players who need short-term prove it deals to get money elsewhere.

Wilkerson is of the later he had his best days playing for our new defensive coordinator and after how things ended with the Jets he needs a bounce back year to get another big payday. If he goes elsewhere like Cook did and the packers get another 4th/5th round comp pick so be it. Worked out for everyone.

I like it better than Jimmy Graham. Just seems like Gute is trying to hard to be the Anti-Ted.

This contract is absolutely perfect. If his motivation problems continue we are only in for 1 year. If he returns to the form he was at a few years back with Pettine as his coach we are looking at a pretty impressive upgrade to the pass rush/pressure at an amazing contract value.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe
