Now that Eric Stokes is no longer a Packer, it might be worthwhile for a reporter to ask him what he thinks about the Packers and Alexander relationship. Not sure he'd be willing to weigh in at this juncture, but it is certainly worth a try. Zero could get a mic and a little Packershome mic sign doo dad and head to Vegas. It's nice this time of year, lol

Scoop Aaron Nagler and launch his new career! (Maybe side gig)

If we are cutting just to save cap space why isn't Kenny Clark's name brought up? I am sure we could find someone for half the money to get 37 tackles for the year. Cut him we save $10 million with post June 1st cut. Think of this Alexander played in 7 games and had 16 tackles, Clark played in 17 games and had 37 and 8 of those were in 1 game. But we don't hear of any of that talk.

Thoughts?

Kenny Clark is playing, he's on the field.

So you're paying for something and getting something with Clark. And with Jaire you're paying for something and getting nothing. That's the difference between the two. They would love to have Jaire on the roster, but if he's not going to play, why pay? Are you going to pay $5,000 a month for a car you can't drive or would you get rid of it and cut your losses?

Opponents felt they could because whoever was playing the other DT (Wyatt, Wooden, Brooks) was average at best and they felt they could 1 on 1 that person sans risk.

Yes I would like more, but he would be difficult to replace.

Go Packers!!!!

Well, technically, I guess they could release him before his roster bonus kicks in and save $10.5 millions, but they would have to release him in the next two or three days, otherwise that roster bonus locks in.

Plus while Clarks quality of play has been slipping for years (since like 2018), he's still eating up a HUGE amount of snaps... like you would probably have to sign two guys to replace the amount of snaps he gets on the field for... he's got the endurance.

That's interesting to me. And makes me think Packers might keep Jaire.

But notice Clark had 685, where the next DT had only 440, and I think there was a good jump between #2 and #3.

BTW guys I wasn't saying we should release Clark was just using him as an example of someone with a huge contract that could be cut to save money. I still think Jaire is worth the extra money even if for only 7 games compared to just releasing him. Time for coaches and players to bury the feelings and do whats best for business.

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

Jaire reached out to the new CB already, I think that's a good sign.
