Packers 2020 Offseason Thread - Packers Talking Extension with Aaron Jones

Taylor is definitely gone, can’t see us paying that much for a backup. Cutting him will add $4.65 M of cap room. I don’t see us restructuring any other contracts - signings last year are already pretty backloaded.
Not sure if any of the free agents are worth spending on anyway. Robby Anderson maybe?

Robby anderson no maybe he absolutely is worth spending on him opposite adams would be doen right lethal add sternberger in there if he steps up very dynamic read reports where anderson said he would love to play with rogers

Keeping Taylor is a good insurance, IMO.

Also why release him if we are not signing anyone long term? Another thing is that we can trade him during the season for a team that needs a player like him, or even just get a compensate pick in 2022 when another team signs him next offseason.

Currently we have 12.8 cap space counting the the draft picks. That's good to sign a WR2 or another needed position.

Yeah at this point might as well keep him until the draft. I expect they draft a T somewhat early but if the board doesn't fall right Taylor as depth at G wity the the option to move Turner outside if you have an injury might be something they consider. Hell I'm not sure Turner is even better than Taylor TBH.

They could even wait until camp to decide, that would suck for Taylor but you just never know if injuries hammer a position group.

As the market shapes itself a 2/12-14 deal for Robbie Anderson seems to be a very real possibility unless a team gets desperate. I'd be very surprised if he matches Sanders deal

He was a guy I thought we should target before reports came out that he might get 14+ a year but if the price is 6-7 on a short deal that might be perfect and help bridge the learning curve for any draft WR

Guys if resigning bak / Kenny Clark / and Aaron Jones is of any interest to you we're basically a capped out the next two years.

Gute needs to find a number of guys who can play immediately this year in the draft. If he fails we're hosed. So far he's been mixed - need to hit in rounds 1 and two this year specifically

Getting some immediate help in the draft would be real nice.

Also, having Gary, Burks, ESB, MVS taking big steps forward, looking like real NFL players

Getting the expected continued progress from King, Alexander, Savage, and Jenkins

I seriously doubt we keep Aaron if he has another dynamic year. As good as he’s been big contracts for RBs just don’t work in the NFL, yet someone will pay him big cash.
Be great to lock up Bak or Clark early.

So McCray traded to Atlanta for a 7th round pick. Honestly probably shouldve just kept him as depth for a year

Read an article today that highlighted how Atlanta has 10 first round picks in their starting offensive group.

In comparison the Packers have 1 in Rodgers.

There are disadvantages to not having a true rebuild period over 20 years. Namely multiple years of high draft picks.

I do agree but when you pick 12th i think there should be a starter out of that im not calling Gary a bust but damn some of those dline guys drafted after him some looked really good you cant miss on a pick that high

Sure but we took a 20-21 year old with insane potential. Might work or might not.

You can’t compare that a team that had a four or five year rebuild and way mire draft capital, makes no sense.

Potential that never translated in numbers, not even in college. He is a great athlete, period.

I’m not arguing for,or against, just saying they took an Uber young guy with high ceiling. That comes with risk. Not the guy I wanted but I am giving him another year or two before I close the book on him.
