The point, Steve, is you were unaware of this. For being labeled a "plant" and "troll" I know what is going on with the Packers and follow them very closely. This kind of thing has happened, repeatedly, here...I state something and then someone who is unaware of what I'm talking about tries calling me on it, and then I have to prove to them what I'm talking about. Or, someone will state something that conflicts completely with known facts about the NFL or the Green Bay Packers. In your case, to save face, you now mock the source even though it's been reported on a reputable Packers website.

It wasn't a huge impact? Are you joking? Tell me what happened to Green Bay's offer? It went from 11 million to 8 million. I would say that is a HUGE impact. He lost nearly 30% of his original turned down offer.

If you show up to work on Monday and they tell you they want to pay you around 30% less than they were last week would you consider that not a huge loss? Surely, you would.

What I said is accurate and correct. Jennings was very much negatively impacted by his injuries. His earning power was heavily reduced. Randall may find the same thing already, due to last year, but even moreso if he suffers another injury this season and that would be very beneficial to the financial interests of the Green Bay Packers. To be clear, I'm not rooting for it or wish it to happen, rather I would look on the bright side should that situation occur.

Here's one that says the Packers offered Jennings 10m/year so who knows. The guy got paid big money in FA despite being injured 2 years in a row and so probably would Jordy were he to get injured. The whole point of this thing is that it's my opinion that the potential savings of having Jordy miss time next year are not worth the impact of missing Jordy next year. You don't share that opinion I guess so what ever. If you want to get sidetracked and argue about a bunch of stuff off the topic go ahead but you'll be doing it with yourself.

Also, I wasn't "calling you out" I was disagreeing with you and giving my opinion that I didn't think he was that damaged because he still ended up one of the highest paid WRs in the league. Then you take it super personally and start bringing me up in your responses to other people that have nothing to do with it and saying lame things like "you must not follow this team very closely". You say you come here to debate but you have this huge negativity toward the people you interact with around here. If you dislike everyone here so much maybe you should find somewhere else to talk football.

He doesn't blink, he doesn't sweat, doesn't play games in the media, he can out wait anyone.
I bet he has a titanium bladder.
