Packers 2022 Offseason Thread - Adams Traded to Raiders for 2022 1st and 2nd Rd Picks

Bakhtiari's going to be a tough decision. Finishing the year on the sidelines would make him hard to move, but he's going to eat a ton of salary and may/may not be worth keeping on a rebuilding team. If you trade him, how much discount goes with him for the dubious injury status? Also, he's on the age cusp where he might not want to stick around for a rebuild.

Davante isn't staying without Rodgers at QB. No chance.

The chance is making him the highest paid WR in the NFL. I know its fun to play with 12 for him but a big bag of cash is pretty fun too.

If Rodgers isn't here, we have a pretty clear path to being able to tag Adams. I really do think the ball is in our court on this one.

We can't trade him. It is literally a 39M dead cap on him next year. He is our starting LT next season.

Looking forward to a much more balanced roster. It's hard to win it all when 1 guy is eating up 15% of your cap.

Start the rebuild with the O-Line And D-Lines. A good O-Line gives average RBs more room to run, average QBs more time to throw, and average WRs more time to get open.

A good D-Line can mask deficiencies of the LBs and secondary.

Yeah, I think that has to be the plan, or at least should be. Also will be interesting to see what MLF's offense looks like with Love in there, I expect a lot of getting the ball out of the hand quickly.

We also desperately need a YAC guy

I've been screaming this for years. Enough of the big body plodders that can't create separation or make anything happen with the ball in their hands. We really need some quick twitch guys that can make the defense miss.

I'm going to add Treylon Burks to my list of WR to dig in to. When people are comparing you to AJ Brown and Deebo, you have my attention.

I can't help but think that contract is going to be a real problem. I worry that with the surgery, 2nd surgery, and doubtful fix, that his knee may become a performance limiting chronic problem. I really hope not.

To be fair, his contract made good sense at the time, but luck was not with the Packers there.

[ReasonablySober]

The very big one to me is Adams. I've long been skeptical that the Packers will be able to get that far under the cap in order to tag him. Rappaport seems to think that it's a done deal, though, so

Trade Rodgers to where ever the team and him agree on. Hopefully he plays ball. Denver would be ideal.

Have to get Gary and Alexander on long term deals. After that I care much less about who comes back.

Douglas and Campbell were incredible pickups, but I also wouldn't be quick to signing either to big deals. I feel like they both just played better than they ever will in the future, and since the Packers aren't likely to contend in the next year or two, then letting them walk is probably the best move.

Would bring back Lazard, MVS, and Tonyan. Someone has to catch passes and I have to believe none of those three are gonna break the bank.

But more than anything else, we need to prioritize bringing in our Lord and Savior.

This is why I was excited when they picked Amari. Then I actually watched Amari play...

Yeah, man that Amari pick is looking bad. Well he's short, but at least he's slow....oh wait.

From early October. Since I put it out there it's obviously not going to happen.

I mentioned Burks in the draft thread early as well. Yes please.

[MickeyDavis]

It's possible but not probable that Burks is there at 9.

[XtremeDunkz]

I also think they may draft a QB early depending on how the board falls to keep Love on his heels.

Not a chance. That would be the worst thing they could possibly do.

By a number of post-draft assessments, he was supposed to be the most NFL ready of the Packer picks, but he's been a real disappointment. It's the judgement, the wifty hands, and especially the lack of breakaway speed that are concerning.

[LUKE23]

Zero chance they draft a QB high in 2022. Not only because they haven't really seen Love play yet, but beacuse this is a weak QB draft and they are going to have a ton of needs due to the cap. I think they give Love a year, if he looks like he isn't the answer, they take one in 2023.

I think by most assessments, this crop of QBs is comparatively weak too. Some team desperate for a QB will over-reach out of necessity and tout the hell out of their pick.

Rodgers will be gone. My current power rankings for his next destination are

Denver
Oakland
Pittsburgh
Indy
Cleveland

I will bet any amount of money you want that he doesn't go to Oakland.

I'm ok to move on from AR, he's proven he can't win it all again in GB. He looked old in the cold weather last night so let him go to some warmer climate and finish his career.

I would predict he has another Super bowl win in him, but I agree, I am thinking it just isn't going to be in GB any longer. Really believed this was the year.

If Amari Rodgers were not a Gute 3rd round pick he may well have been cut this season, he was that bad.

Should be wide open at WR for Amari in 2022, so hopefully he does something with the opportunity, but not holding my breath.

Speaking of 3rd round picks, could Gute just go ahead and trade his pick in that round going forward?

One would be hard pressed to do worse that Burks (whom he traded up for), Sternberger, Degaura (who not only looks slow and undersized but does not have good hands), and Amari Rodgers.

[WRau1]

Send him to the NYG for all those picks.
