Brown goes to Raiders for a 3rd and fifth and:

NEVILLE E. GUARD, USA TODAY SPORTS
Per NFL Network, Brown will receive a reworked contract that covers three years and pays $50.1 million (with a maximum value of $54.1 million) with $30.1 million of it guaranteed.

Good luck.

Packers can spend that 54mil on players they need .

Go pack go.....that’s the feeling that many of us have. The past several years it seemed like the Packers would rather sit on their bundle of cash and not do what it would take to get another championship.
Yes, they paid Rodgers, but he alone can’t do it alone.

You can only hope Ted taught Gute well and can have the success Thompson had as The Packers GM.

(Cue the let's compare The Packers to The Patriots bullshit argument).

How about Compare The Packers to the other 30 teams in the NFL while Ted Thompson was GM.

2nd in win totals.
Playoffs 9 times, including 8 straight.
4 NFC Championship games.
1 Super Bowl(only The Giants had 2)

Now quit crying about Ted Thompson and hope Gute has learned well.

I think the only way he can prove he is different is to make some free agent moves that shows he will do what it takes to win titles.
Not just wait for the other teams to take the best players, and then pick from the left over garbage pile.
To try to get by on draft picks that might take years to develop, won’t get a championship with the few years our future HOF QB has left.
If they are not smart enough to realize that, then get ready for a replay of the 1970’s and 1980’s.

Woodson, Peppers, the 1st 2 to come to mind, DL played at Ohio State, and more.
The thing with signing top tier FA's, you better hit, if you don't, it could take several years to recuperate your losses.

I will be very disappointed if we don't get at least one starter in FA at either safety, OL, LB or slot receiver and I am realluy hoping for two. If they don't work out they don't work out but they should be penciled in as our starters and not guys who will get the chance to compete. I'll stop short of saying the garbage pile like Cheesey did as I think some of these guys are OK players and depth is important but they are just not starter quality and that's what we need.

I know exactly what you meant though Cheesey and I agree with you.

Compare the pick up of Jared Cook compared to Graham.
Cook made plays, and they let him leave. Then picked up Jimmy Graham, who seems to be “over the hill”. Maybe he will prove me wrong next season (I hope).
Yes, you better hit on your FAs.
But, as was already stated, the same goes for your draft choices.
With a FA, you are picking up someone that has shown they at least can play in the NFL. With draft choices, you don’t know.

I'm sure they are interested in Brown. If he was gonna come herenfornthe minimum, they'd be all over it.

The question as always is, at what price?

Remember, dude is 30. That's the magic number.

Zero2Cool (53m) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (3h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (4h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (5h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (5h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (5h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (7h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (17h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (23h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

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

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

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) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

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

dfosterf (16-Apr) : 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.
