Brown goes to Raiders for a 3rd and fifth and:

NEVILLE E. GUARD, USA TODAY SPORTS
Per NFL Network, Brown will receive a reworked contract that covers three years and pays $50.1 million (with a maximum value of $54.1 million) with $30.1 million of it guaranteed.

Good luck.

Packers can spend that 54mil on players they need .

Go pack go.....that’s the feeling that many of us have. The past several years it seemed like the Packers would rather sit on their bundle of cash and not do what it would take to get another championship.
Yes, they paid Rodgers, but he alone can’t do it alone.

You can only hope Ted taught Gute well and can have the success Thompson had as The Packers GM.

(Cue the let's compare The Packers to The Patriots bullshit argument).

How about Compare The Packers to the other 30 teams in the NFL while Ted Thompson was GM.

2nd in win totals.
Playoffs 9 times, including 8 straight.
4 NFC Championship games.
1 Super Bowl(only The Giants had 2)

Now quit crying about Ted Thompson and hope Gute has learned well.

I think the only way he can prove he is different is to make some free agent moves that shows he will do what it takes to win titles.
Not just wait for the other teams to take the best players, and then pick from the left over garbage pile.
To try to get by on draft picks that might take years to develop, won’t get a championship with the few years our future HOF QB has left.
If they are not smart enough to realize that, then get ready for a replay of the 1970’s and 1980’s.

Woodson, Peppers, the 1st 2 to come to mind, DL played at Ohio State, and more.
The thing with signing top tier FA's, you better hit, if you don't, it could take several years to recuperate your losses.

I will be very disappointed if we don't get at least one starter in FA at either safety, OL, LB or slot receiver and I am realluy hoping for two. If they don't work out they don't work out but they should be penciled in as our starters and not guys who will get the chance to compete. I'll stop short of saying the garbage pile like Cheesey did as I think some of these guys are OK players and depth is important but they are just not starter quality and that's what we need.

I know exactly what you meant though Cheesey and I agree with you.

Compare the pick up of Jared Cook compared to Graham.
Cook made plays, and they let him leave. Then picked up Jimmy Graham, who seems to be “over the hill”. Maybe he will prove me wrong next season (I hope).
Yes, you better hit on your FAs.
But, as was already stated, the same goes for your draft choices.
With a FA, you are picking up someone that has shown they at least can play in the NFL. With draft choices, you don’t know.

I'm sure they are interested in Brown. If he was gonna come herenfornthe minimum, they'd be all over it.

The question as always is, at what price?

Remember, dude is 30. That's the magic number.

beast (8h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (8h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (8h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (10h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (10h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (10h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
