...is open for 3 more years. He listed 7 teams who had the biggest SB windows. The Packers checked in at #6 with the Raiders and Cowboys topping the list. It is amazing what Reggie McKenzie has done out in Oakland in a short time.

6) Green Bay Packers
The window will be open for: Three years.

There are key free agents (T.J. Lang, Nick Perry, Jared Cook, Micah Hyde) to retain, and the running game must become a complementary force once again. (Inking tackle David Bakhtiari to an extension in September was critical.) But as long as Aaron Rodgers is performing at a high level, the Packers' window will remain open. One man can't always drive a team, as we saw in Green Bay's lackluster start to the 2016 season. But when Rodgers is on, he can be impossible to stop, as we saw in his blistering run to the NFC title game.


I love it, Gil. One man can't always drive a team...but...he can in the case of Aaron Rodgers when he's hot. As he goes, we go. Simplest thing in the world.

Three years...I don't know? I think two years is a better guesstimate.

Saying the Cowboys window is only one year larger than the Packers you lose all credit. They have a rookie QB who looks like a stud. A great OL. A RB who looks like he's going to be top 5 in yards for the next half decade. All they need is to improve their defense. Pisses me off to say it, but Cowboys window is much wider than Packers.

I think Gil should be faced with a felony arrest for writing this over the 6 journalists that covered the inauguration protests.

There are only a handful of contracts over 4 years in he NFL. Effectively about 1/4 of each roster is restructured each year, either through players leaving [via free agency, cuts, retirement, etc] or good first year players making 500K/yr last year are now making 5-8-10-15-20 Million, thus causing other guys to be cut. This is why no teams consistently make playoffs. Well, except for 2 teams [GB and NE]. After 2 years, half of all NFL teams change, speaking of the length of "windows" is ridiculous.

Dallas has a bigger window?...Balderdash! With their top 53 players, Dallas is 6.8M OVER the cap. They'll need about 2M to sign their rookie class; they need to start the year with at least 3 million so right now they are effectively 12M over the cap!!!! Trading/Cutting Romo will save 5.1M. But they have 6 starters and 6 key backups as UFAs, so what they gonna do? And in 2 years they'll probably extend their real cheap good guys like Prescott and Elliot [if still viable] causing some of the OL or DL or someone is going to be cut or not resigned. And last year they had only 2 injuries [Romo and Collins]. If they have an average number of injuries Dallas won't even make playoffs next year.

Pack Fan With Twins wisely spoke of living through the 70's[and 80's] gives one appreciation for 8 straight playoff seasons and a SB win. But, all you youngsters need to do is educate yourselves at how the 30 other teams do to gain appreciation instead of a misplaced disgust for a final 4 finish, it is just weird. What did Gil say Denver's and Carolina's windows were at this time last year???? 30 teams in NFL occasionally catch lightning; only 2 actually build for success and succeed [KC and Oak might join this elite club if Dorsey and Mackenzie keep their inner Ted strong].

We know it's the 70s or 80s minus Rodgers. NE can go 3-1 with Garropolo and Brissett and went 11-5 with Matt freaking Cassell. We can't. Our window is 12's window. That window is very dirty and dusty. Needs more than a bottle of Windex to get it cleaned up.

We've had a 25 year window that is nearing its end.

One will look back celebrating the division titles and playoff wins.

One will lament 3 SB appearances in 30 years knowing full well that over the next 30 years there's likely to be zero regretting we failed to take full advantage of our 30 year run.

One could argue that Aaron's on field antics helped us go 4-6, preventing us from HFA.

4 years is generous.
