Instead of Green Bay East it's Green Bay - Old

---

Green Bay AARP.

We couldn’t afford a 1yr deal worth up to 4 million? At a position of need for a player that already knows the defense? Hmmm…

---

Though it begs the question, should they be called the Packers or the Vikings since they do the same thing? 🤔🤣

Saw this was referenced in the shout.


The Jets’ Adrian Amos acquisition makes a bit more sense now. Chuck Clark suffered a knee injury, one Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports is feared to be serious 

---

I figured there was a reason like this. It's getting kinda late to sign FAs.

---

For a guy with a PFF grade of 53.4 last year? Yeah.

---

My guess if if the Packers front office felt this team was a legitimate contender to go deep into the playoffs. They would have found a way.  I know "rebuild" is a horrible word, but I kinda feel the Packers are using 2023 as a growth year and hoping for the best. I don't think they're laying down by any means, but I think it's really trying to give those young guys opportunity to develop and grow. This is going to be the catalyst to us winning the Super Bowl during the 2025 season. Get your tickets.

I would have been fine with bringing Amos back at something like $4m, but understand why they didn't.

Here are his PFF ratings for the last 5 years:
2018: 82.9
2019: 76.5
2020: 89.4
2021: 74.7
2022: 53.4

I think there are two ways to look at this, if we look at the last 3 years, it looks like a clear and obvious decline. If we look at the last 5, 2022 seems like an outlier and I would assume he plays better in 2023. Having said that, it's unlikely he will regain his 2020/2018 form at this point.

I believe we got 16 million, so we could afford 4 million, but we're rebuilding... at least bare minimum rebuilding the cap and going young.

And it was reported that before the off season Packers were trying to resign Amos. Not sure if we low balled, or if Amos and his agent over played their market and/or both.

Though, since Amos is signing so late and so little, seems like either teams didn't want him, or they overplayed the market.



Rebuilding is a horrible word? Why is it horrible? And why would it be given that context? Rebuilding means improving in the long term... which is positive if you're patient enough. 

But yeah, regrowth, rebuild, restock, ricostruire, ricrescere, rifornire whatever you want to call it to be positive, Packers are not allin on 2023 (which with limited resources in terms of cap space) which is smart as if you try to be allin all the time you just wear your resources down... you need to back off the accelerator and coast at times, to rebuild the cap space and rebuild and load up the roster with more picks.

Heck, Gute traded down as much in the 2023 draft than he did all other draft years combined ... and more so if you don't count trade down followed by trade up for Alexander
