No, no, NO.
The Packers didn't miss out on Terrion Arnold. They make it sound like Gute & Co couldn't figure out what to do when they were on the clock. He wasn't even an option for them. Detroit gave away their first and third round picks to move up 5 spots. That's a steep price to pay. They could have taken DeJean. (Also Nate Wiggins, Kool-Aid McKinstry, Kamari Lassiter or Max Melton I guess these CBs are sexy enough to be included with the Hall of Famers Arnold and DeJean.) Point is they valued building the OLine with Morgan more. That's sheer madness. Funny thing is, this dude, Brad Majors is critical of two of GB's CB's and yet the Packers utterly failed to bring in their replacements. Huh. What the heck is wrong with Gute? Best fire him.He's a fool.
There are a lot of "what ifs" with Kenny. Most players don't get a third contract. Most players don't get another contract after the team adds void years to their current contract. Based on Cap Hit, Kenny is the #2 DL he isn't worth it. He is only 22nd in Average Contract at $17,500,000. What will Kenny bring to the table in this new system? If he flourishes, he may keep one more bite out of the apple with a new 3 or 4 year deal. My guess is no matter what he does, he will not get another contract. Because of the void years his dead cap hit of $13,747,000 will be a deal breaker.
Preston is all but done. He's 32. They have younger guys waiting to take his snaps. He has one void year in 27. His salary is, by today's standards, rather modest this year and next year. It's possible they pay Smith for another year or two for his leadership skills and being on the field on crucial downs.
The rumblings about JA don't make a lot of sense. If he doesn't do well this year, what trade value will he have? Facing a cap hit of $19 million after the season just how likely are the Packers to trade or release him? Not very. Once again, if they had concerns about CB the Packers would have addressed it in the draft.
My favorite players are the last two. Royce Newman and Andre Dillard. Neither is a lock to make the team this year little alone be a prospect to be released after the season. If Toms were healthy, there would be even more doubt as to the chances of them making the 53 man roster.
In short this article seems to be more of an ad for the betting site than a serious discussion of the Packers. But hey it's the off season so why not.
