What do you think about this? Dez Bryant reportedly turned down a multi year offer with Ravens because he wants to sign a one year prove it deal so he can cash in after 2018.

If the Packers signed 29 year old Dez Bryant at anything close to what Jordy Nelson was set to make, oh my lord are the fans going to blow up ala 2008 style!

I looked at the Packers roster and we don't have any of the 10's available (14 and 15 were removed from circulation) and the only 80's number we have left is ... 87.

The most famous catch of Dez Bryant's career was a non-catch in Green Bay. Now he may get many more chances to catch passes in Green Bay. That's the word from former teammate Jason Witten, who said on Adam Schefter's podcast that he's expecting Bryant to end up with the Packers. "I think he's going [more]

It would make sense only if he takes a really low deal or if we cut Cobb. We need all the money we can find right now to get the Rodgers deal done. Unless they are planning on using all the freed up cap space next year with Cobb and Matthews gone to go towards Aaron's contract.

The "prove it" part scares me. He already wants the ball thrown to him twice as much as it is no matter how many that adds up to (even if he's not open I may add). Now he's going to want it thrown to him even more.
I would throw Daniels in on the meeting and let Bryant know that if he's going to cry like a bitch on the sidelines Daniels will be right there to give him a good reason. I just don't think Dez is ready to consider he is no longer the go too guy and that could be a real problem for any team that signs him.

Aaron is under contract two more seasons. An extension won't cost more during those two years. It'll (those seasons) be converted to bonus or something which will give Packers more cap space for 2018 and 2019. That's atleast how I understand contract extensions.

I agree with most of the contributors...if cheap, great....but his attitude could be a cancer.

Also, let's not forget 88 is a very capable receiver.

The fact that Dez Bryant is still out there concerns me of his value. Then again. Charles Woodson back in what 2005/2006?...

This is a good point. As long as the Packers felt comfortable with his attitude, I think this would be a great signing from a football perspective. And who knows, with injuries, it's not unlikely that he ends up as the Packers #1 WR and finishes the season with 1,000+ yards and double digit touchdowns. D. Adams does have a concerning concussion history.

Then what would be the point of signing him. IMO it wouldn't represent enough of an upgrade, if any at all, to warrant the switch and the relatively small cap savings wouldn't amount to enough to make the risk worth it.

    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
