2023 NFL Discussion

I'm interested in what is going to happen with the Packers/Rodgers this offseason. All the media is saying that Rodgers is using that vague language after the NFC Title Game loss to angle for a new contract extension. I'll be curious to watch how he plays that. 

The guy is 37 or 38, already has more money that anyone could need, all he has left in his career is legacy. He should be offering to restructure his contract so GB can bring in more players, not looking to squeeze the organization for more money. 

I understand he's mad they drafted Love in the 1st round, and that was probably dumb, but they need to add talent, not lose talent. Part of the reason New England was able to keep fielding winning rosters so long was because Brady took team-friendly deals.

No, Rodgers doesn't owe that to the Packers by any means and he's earned every penny he can get, but again it's his call. Does he want more money or does he want a legit chance at another Super Bowl or two? Restructure a more team-friendly deal and tell GB to go get Allen Robinson to pair with Devante Adams. Go get JJ Watt and a couple defensive players, etc.

Rodgers has never struck me as a guy who's ego would allow him to take less money.

QBs are never traded for 2 1sts. No GM would ever think about that.  

Rams just did.

I would trade 2 1sts plus 2 defensive players not named chase young to the Texans for watson straight up as a Washington fan lol. Throw in a couple later picks too. A top 5 qb is worth it IMO at his age. Can lead to a decade of dominance and division titles instead of mediocre teams with colt mccoy, Kyle Allen, Alex smith, and every other scrub Washington has had since joe theisman...even our super bowl years Doug Williams and mark rypien were not studs. Throwing to that wr corps with that oline and defense...good lord.

 

derek carr on the other hand? No. I’d rather wait until they cut him when Gruden wakes up with a burr up his ass or trade a later round pick for mariota. I would do 1st and a later pick seeing as skins have the 19th pick. I follow all nfl but I’m looking at it from the team I root fors perspective. Just my opinion..

You missed my opinion on the worth of Matt Stafford discussion.

I did not say all QB's but you don't for players like Stafford or Carr.  i would give up 2 1's and more for Watson.  It came out that the Colts was not totally sold on Stafford and didn't know if he would improve them anymore than they were this year.

I just told you what he was worth. Watson is irrelevant for MS worth.
