2019 Packers Off Season Thread - Cut Day Saturday

Post #201 » by **humanrefutation** » Mon Feb 11, 2019 4:34 pm

I don't think Jamaal Williams is irreplaceable at RB and Jones has had injury issues, so I don't have a problem with adding Bell. I agree that we have more urgent priorities elsewhere - notably at pass rusher, safety, and on the offensive line - but if Bell is available and doesn't preclude us from making improvements elsewhere in FA, then I'm all about bringing him in. He's so dynamic in both the run game and the passing game that he'd immediately make us that much more dangerous offensively.

Imagine having Bell and Jones in the backfield at the same time? :droop:

Unless he comes at a MASSIVE discount that's pretty much an impossibility

Not necessarily. They've got about $23M in cap space right now if you include their projected draft pool, but that's before any moves to free up more space - notably, cutting Perry and Graham could save them another $15M or so, putting them at $38M with the draft pool already paid for. That's enough room to give Bell a big contract and make some other moves.

Obviously, it all depends on any other moves they want to make, so I'm willing to consider other options. But I'm not sure there are very many FAs out there that will be more impactful than adding arguably the best RB in the game to the roster. It all depends on where Gute thinks he can be most impactful in terms of the use of his $. They have decisions to make on Cobb, Matthews, Bulaga, Perry, and Graham. All of that will factor in. But if they can make it work, I'm all for it.

ESPN's Bill Barnwell has a "FA Domino" slideshow that suggests GB as a potential landing spot for Ziggy Ansah.

If that went down, I'd feel a lot more comfortable using the second 1st rounder on an offensive player.

Alright Antonio Brown wants a trade.

If we cut Jimmy Graham and Nick Perry, adding him would only cost us about $4 mil this year.

No idea what kind of compensation PIT is looking for, but anything starting in the 3rd round and I'm personally interested. We have a ton of ammo in the draft this year - if we have to make some difficult decisions with players then this is the year to do it.

Wonder if Mike Daniels and a 3 would be enough?

I don't want to give up picks and create other holes by giving up players to get a WR.

Would rather sign a solid player like John Brown.

The only way I take AB on this team with his salary is if Pittsburgh trades us a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Daniels and a 3rd for him and I might very well treat Gute worse then Rila did MM on this board for the next few years

Only player I want in the league less to play for the Packers is Suh. Any guy that quits on his team in week 17 with a playoff spot on the line can seriously **** off.

The only way you could make a case for not putting in a bid for AB would be if the Packers had a 12-4 team on paper right now and were a top 5 contender and you didn't want to disrupt anything.

If the Packers are 8-8 in this season, Matt LaFleur is a top 5 coach in the league, maybe even top 3. The Packers really have nothing to lose, the only way the Packers even possibly sniff a wild card spot this season is if they acquire a high impact player like Brown. Pair Brown with Adams and hope that Rodgers can return to form you could be back in the playoffs as soon as this season.

Are you new to the NFL? This league is as fickle as it comes each and every year. It wouldn't shock me if this team wins the SB next year. It wouldn't shock me if we went 6-10.

If we trade Daniels and a high draft pick for aging malcontent Antonio Brown I **** quit the Packers. That’s just terrible.

Sparky on the fan said he'd give up 2 #1's for Brown. :lol:

Mags FTW · Post #217 » by **Mags FTW** » Thu Feb 14, 2019 1:29 am

And just think, someone was paying him to say that.

Oscar71 · Post #218 » by **Oscar71** » Thu Feb 14, 2019 8:50 am

Sure. Maybe the Packers can find every locker-room destroyer and overall team cancer and sign them all to over-priced long term deals....

Post #219 » by **humanrefutation** » Thu Feb 14, 2019 10:41 pm

I'd take Brown because our WR corp is quite thin after Te and he's a monster talent. But I'm not giving up more than a mid-round pick for him.
