They plan to sign or draft a MLB. that could leave Jamin Davis with somewhat of a hybrid role at times considering they play a lot of 2 LB sets. I'm sure that's right. He's a tweener safety that's not good outside the box who gambles too much, but a great playmaker around the LoS, but his contract is absurd and so is his injury history. I'd love to keep him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We currently have Collins, Jon Allen, WJ3, Fuller on decent money contracts. Got to think another deal or two will be needed for Curl and at least one of those DL. So if we are thinking about getting a free agency LB and/or FS say, that starts to really add up. Collins’ contract is a luxury than may need to go.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three key free agents Rodgers has probably told them they need to retain in order for him to stick around.

Green Bay are 48m over the cap, if they can resign the 3 free agency you have mentioned and give Rodgers 50m a year then they should just get rid of the Salary Cap altogether. We are 32m under the cap(80m better than GB, and I've read posts on here saying we can't afford to re-sign Payne to a LTD), I'm not saying I want to re-sign Payne but if the Packers can sign there free agents, and Tampa re-signed All there free-agents last year then we can keep and sign whoever we want to. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t say I disagree. Last year the Saints restructured 10 deals, released half a dozen players and got out of an even worse cap situation. They’ll be doing the same shortly. Very easy for the Packers to give Rodgers and Adams massive long term deals with signing bonuses they can spread over the next 5 years. It not a matter of the cap, it’s whether the players really want to be in GB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also noticed buddy that since Rivera has been HC, as far as I know we have not restructured any contracts, not asked any players to take a drop in salary either.

I’m now against the idea of trading players away for a QB. I’d be looking to extend both Mclaurin and Payne this offseason. Collins has to restructure that deal. Especially if we intend to invest in a free agent LB and/or FS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have wondered the same, especially regarding Payne and Terry ( I gave up on Scherff as I do not thin he really wants to be back in Washington). Regarding Payne, did he a Allen ever actually kiss and make up or is there still an issue? I don't recall ever seeing Payne saying anything after the scrum Has Terry ever made a statement that he wants to be back in Washington? I have heard both sides want to see JD McK back, it's a shame they didn't just get that done unless the asking price is extraordinarily high 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 That source isn’t always reliable they just typically repeat other sources. But if Campbell resigns it plays into what London Fletcher said recently which is there aren’t a lot of good middle linebackers in the league who can both cover and stop the run and the teams that have them these days are good at holding on to them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 Keim's podcast, doubles down on the post above. They want Collins back but at a discount from his current cap number. They are talking to McCain and might work out a deal before FA. And he doubles down that they really really really want a MLB. They like Holcomb but outside, not inside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years, I've grown more and more convinced that salary cap problems are mostly overblown. Aside from large amounts of dead cap from a bad deal or a penalty that shuts out of some of the cap, a simply competent FO should be able to wheel and deal their way around anything. Who's the last player we can say that was a truly a cap casualty? Jamison Crowder? Brandon Scherff might be arguable for the next one, but even if we throw out the injury concerns and call it a cap loss, that's our first in 4 years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 It's extremely rare to find a very good MLB in FA. Next to QB, it's probably the hardest to find, because even thee best ones don't command CB or LT money. We need to draft one early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

method man Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It’s going to have to be the draft. Fortunately, unlike last year, this year’s draft is loaded with MLBs. If they hold on to the second, they will get a good one there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
