Wouldn’t shock me if we were tinkering with getting a player back and just opted for the picks instead

Unlike last year Rodgers will be at all mini camps and OTA's, which will be necessary with the turnover at WR. He also needs to work out on his own with some of the new guys we sign/draft.

With that said it was cool to see everyone get what they wanted well except for JTK. But in a small way he got what he wanted too, because he can turn this win and pretend it is a loss and complain about Gute. The irony being the years he spent complaining about Bucks fans bashing Kidd and the management. Strange times indeed

Shhhhhhhh, don't let the CAT OUT OF THE BAG.
Of course any thinking person paying attention knows taht the Packers, as always, are more interested in preparing for the future than going all in to win a Super Bowl but with all the recent early playoff exits the Front Office is trying to sell the narrative to the masses that they really are committed to going ALL IN.
Can't have the fan base exposed to the truth here now can we?

Rogers last two years were relatively injury free, but that's no guarantee going forward on a high mileage body.

For one, the recent evidence on WR production once guys hit 30 is pretty damning. Now, in general, some of HOF greats have bucked that trend, but it's still a possibility that Adams isn't producing anywhere close to his contract for the back half.
Now, that doesn't help us at all for 2022. But that said, if this allows us to retain Douglas, add Juju and/or keep MVS, and draft one or two WR in the first four picks, we could be a better team in 2022.
My biggest complaint with this deal is that if they knew DA wanted out (and from all reports this has been brewing for a while), you need to trade him prior to the WR FA market drying up. Because while draft picks are nice, counting almost exclusively on rookies (and meh talent like Lazard, Cobb, Amari) is a very risky proposition for an "all in" team.
Right now my hope is Juju, MVS, and Olave.

Pair that with a veteran WR or MVS and I think WR is no issue going into next year with a wild card in Williams entering the back end of the season. After this year, those two picks are probably your 1 and 2 WR's for the future - let's get it done

I see this however people need to remember it took all the way to June before we knew Rodgers was coming back las year. Why would we have paid Adams $142 mil then. If Rodgers doesn't come back no reason to pay such a high salary. Also, even when Rodgers decided to come back, we didn't know if he was only coming back for only a year until just a week ago. Again, no way do you pay Adams this much money back then. It would not make any sense. Media again spinning this to make the Packers front office look bad, a bunch of BS. Rodgers may have inadvertently caused this with the issues he had last year.
Additionally, let's look at how this gives us 7 picks in the first 4 rounds. Also a total of 11 picks only 2nd to the Jags which helps us for the future, building a deep roster and special team players (rookies are on special teams a lot). This is not bad with also making a run the next few years.
