The Official 2024 NFL Regular Season Discussion Thread

I wonder what Rodgers is thinking right now. You trade away my top WR after tagging him and now you want me to stay. Rodgers try everything next Season to get out of that deal that organization has no clue how to run an organization.

Even if he could get out of the deal where would he go? Denver is off the market. Pittsburgh has Trubinsky. Only open places are Indy, Carolina, New Orleans, Houston and Seattle.

Let's be honest the deal is signed by Rodgers already he ain't going anywhere this Season. Next Season I'm sure Pittsburgh, Carolina, Houston, and Seattle would love his services.



He was aware but not aware that they would thinking about trading him I imagine.

Packers lock down Rodgers long term after he dicks then around for two years and then they trade away his best receiver and friend

Best example I think I’ve ever seen of “‘Fuck him’? No let’s bring him in then fuck him!”

What a twist! I honestly thought the Packers would lock Adams for a bit of years with Rodgers, but damn I was wrong. The Packers' is making Rodgers look high and dry without his star receiver that he can depend on. Maybe this is a plan for them to either draft a wide receiver out of the four picks: (22th, 28th, 53rd and 59th overall). They got those picks to make it happen plus draft much needed defensive players.

Here's detail on the trade:​

Sources: Green Bay Packers trading Davante Adams to Las Vegas Raiders​

ESPN

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It turns out Aaron Rodgers' return to the Green Bay Packers didn't mean the same thing for Davante Adams. Just days after Rodgers signed his blockbuster contract extension to return, Adams, his favorite target, left town in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The Raiders are sending the Packers their first-round pick (No. 22 overall) and second-round pick (No. 53) in this year's draft, sources told Schefter. That gives the Packers four picks in the top 60; they also own picks Nos. 28 and 59.

Adams is signing a five-year contract averaging $28.5 million per season with Las Vegas, a source said. Rodgers was aware of the developments with Adams, who preferred to play elsewhere rather than return to Green Bay for a contract and pay structure similar to his deal with the Raiders, a source said.

The Raiders' odds to win the Super Bowl improved slightly after the trade, moving from 60-1 to 50-1 at Caesars Sportsbook. Las Vegas is 25-1 to win the AFC and has the fourth-best odds to win the AFC West at 7-1.

Green Bay dropped from 11-1 to 12-1 to win the Super Bowl, but still owns the second-best odds in the NFC behind the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (9-1).

The trade reunites Adams with Derek Carr, his college quarterback from their days at Fresno State. The Packers had used the franchise tag on Adams last week, but now they're free from that $20.14 million charge on their salary cap.

However, Green Bay now is in major need at the receiver spot. Two of the receivers in their rotation last year are free agents: deep threat Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Equanimeous St. Brown. The Bears signed St. Brown on Thursday, but now the Packers have cap space to bring back Valdes-Scantling if they choose. They also put the second-round tender on restricted free agent receiver Allen Lazard. Randall Cobb also returned to the Packers but with a massive pay cut from $7.875 to $2.075 million.

At this point, the Packers' top receivers on their depth chart are Lazard, Cobb, Amari Rodgers and Malik Taylor. But now they have the cap space and draft capital to rebuild the position. They have not drafted a receiver in the first round since 2002, when they picked Javon Walker at No. 20 overall.

Adams was never going to play in the franchise tag, and late last season he chose his words carefully when discussing the possibility, saying at the time: "I'm not sure how to answer that safely right now. So, we'll just cross that bridge when we get to it. I'll just say that. I like to be professional on here."

Adams' trade to the Raiders ends the most successful quarterback-receiver partnership in Packers' history. Rodgers and Adams own the Packers' record for most career touchdowns by a QB-WR combination with 68, breaking Rodgers and Jordy Nelson's previous mark of 65.

Last summer, Adams made no secret of his desire to be the NFL's highest-paid receiver. The Packers agreed, but the sides could not agree on what defined the highest-paid receiver. Adams and his agent, Frank Bauer, estimate the standard is $27.75 million per year, the average in Arizona Cardinals receiver DeAndre Hopkins' contract.

However, the Packers view Hopkins' average as closer to $20 million per year, given that his most recent deal was an extension to his previous contract (five years, $81 million). The added money was $54.5 million over two more years.

So Adams played out the season and had perhaps his best year, setting the single-season franchise record for catches (123) and receiving yards (1,553) last season. He became just the sixth player in NFL history with 120-plus catches, 1,500-plus yards and 11-plus touchdown catches in the same season and is the only player in NFL history with three seasons (2018, 2020-21) of 110-plus catches, 1,350-plus receiving yards and 11-plus receiving TDs.

I mean the first two Picks are the only two of value to me after that it's a crapshoot to find gems but you can find them. Still won't be on Adams level for sure. I'm looking at that deal and I'm saying to myself hello Howie Rosemen call up the Seahawks tell them we'll give you one of 1st Round Picks, and a 2nd and a 3rd for D.K Metcalf and a Pick. If the plan is to keep Hurts he needs more than DeVonta so he can take his chances of doing something up two or three levels.

The Ball is in your corner now Browns. The Browns might as well put Baker in the deal killing two Birds with one Stone.

I'm laughing my ass off at what the Steelers have at QB in the Division. The same QB who lost playing time to Nick Foles.

Take the offer Watson so that Mayfield can get out of there.

They did worse than do him dirty, what they did to him is the equivalent of openly defecating in his mouth and telling him he has to like it.

Baker Mayfield may not be a top 10-QB but when he was healthy he was a damn good game manager that wouldn't lose you games, he even got the Browns almost to the AFCCG.

He tears his labrum, plays hurt all year for the sake of the team, and this is how they treat him? Fuck the Browns entire front office.
