Contract values

Note that the Minnesota Vikings have the highest contract obligations in the entire NFL.

The top spending team again based on the total value of the contracts of all the players at training camp was Minnesota, at $736.87 million. Among the other teams near the top were some of the biggest-spending big market teams, such as No. 2 Philadelphia ($721.22 million), No. 3 Dallas ($715.40 million) and No. 4 Washington ($676.88 million).

They are spending our--as in Green Bay's- revenue-sharing funds foolishly. It is sad how many teams try and buy their way into contention, and this must stop for any team that is receiving funds from another. I think there should be additional salary restrictions on teams that receive funds from the revenue sharing plan compared to the teams that pay into it. If they can't make a go of it financially, they should install pay toilets in the metrodump before they should be allowed to suck money from the well-run and fan -supported organizations such as we have.

They could also charge the hundreds of fans that show up for their games more for beer, crying towels, and those prophylactics that their fans like to put on as thinking caps during games.

We want our money back!

Truth be told, a big chunk of that money is going to a stud DE(Allen) and a stud RG(Hutch). Take those two big players out.. And I'm willing to bet that the Vikings drop a few on that list. Not to mention, the overpaying of Berrian's services. That's 3 players. 3. Not 11 or 22.

Funny, back when Red was owner, I bet you guys made fun of the Vikings for being the biggest penny pinching team in the NFL.

-=sighes=- There's just no winning with you, eh? I should know better, it's worse than arguing with a donkey.

Come on Formo, we're a lot more stubborn than jackasses. Don't insult us like that.

So if I'm reading this thread correctly, the Packers are hard working indigenous taxpayers paying their way in the NFL and the Vikings are welfare grabbing gutter whores with a scorching case of herpes.

Don't be fooled. The Packers don't pay a dime. Their fans/ticket consumers are the ones getting billed. The Packers are also tapping into that money. Just not as much as the Vikings are.

Just you admitting you're a welfare gutter whore is enough for me. I'm not going to subsidize your organization this year however because my football allocations are going to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Sorry I usually come down for one game a year but that has more to do with drinking heavily than watching the Vikings. Vikings = welfare gutter whores, like the sound of that! :thumbright:

For every dollar we spend, Vikings take 5 cents, the Packers take 2 cents.

I have no clue how it works, not at all.

Yes, except you left out the part that their stadium is the NFL's closest approximation to a subsidized house in the projects that specializes in de-facto prostitution, although you did touch upon it when alluding to the welfare grabbing gutter whores. Other than that, you caught the exact tone of the conversation, I just figured you were just trying to be as charitable as I in your characterization of the Vikings, so the omission is perfectly understandable.

Zero2Cool (12h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

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

dfosterf (16h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (17h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (17h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (17h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (17h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (17h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (17h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (17h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (17h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (17h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (18h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (18h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (18h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (18h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (19h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (19h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (20h) : 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.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
