Is this the craziest off season ever in the NFL? Has to be related some what to the weird covid year.

And I don't like giving credit to him but Josh McDaniels should be a good coach to lean into his versatile set of skills.
My bigger concern for raiders is it's football and players just start breaking down.
I also like it for Carr, who could really use someone like Adams.
Could be good for Rodgers too as he started getting really locked into Adams last year. Really backfired in the 49ers game when they put like 3 guys on him and Rodgers was still just trying to get him the ball.

Also, I have my doubts that Adams would be anywhere near as good without Rodgers as his QB. Those back shoulder throws that he and Rodgers are so good at takes time and chemistry to develop.
The back shoulder stuff for sure, I know that Carr and Adams have history, but its been like 10 years almost.
Adams is so good though, one of the funniest players to watch coming off line of scrimmage, you can tell cornerbacks have no idea what to do.

Let me go on record for how horrific the Adams move was from the Raiders perspective and how fantastic it was from Packers perspective.
I like it for the Raiders if they could move to the AFC South. They are still probably the worst team in the division even with Adams.

Packers used to have quite off-seasons, but now its chaos every year.
I love Adams, but paying a 30 year old WR 30 million a year is a lot.

Is he any good? Seems like a good use of money (2 Yr 8M with 1st year fully guaranteed). He plays center & guard and started 28 games over past 2 seasons for Packers. If nothing else - very good depth move that can help if they miss on some of the bigger targets they chase or if Borom doesn't pan out at guard like they hope.
He's a solid player. Plays a decent center, but I think he is best a right guard.
He has had to come in because of injury and always held up, including all of last year.

Are things going to start getting crazy right away or does this take a day or two?

If there were good ones available, then yes. But I think a trade for a SP makes more sense.
Would they be looking to trade for an established vet or a top prospect ready to go type?
-
I feel like they should sign a starting pitcher. Is that a common stance?

Oh, so you think he took a horse de-wormer too, huh?
I'm sure he had a doctor get him the human version. Only slightly better.
He won't get the vaccine months before the season starts, but he will take a de-wormer in the middle of the season.

I actually this whole time had just kind of assumed he was a reasonably smart guy, and I don't know where I really got that perception from, but the more he talks the more he sounds like a stereotype. His statements today sound like he's doing some kind of performance art or like a teenager wrote an AI to do an impression that uses as many boilerplate talking points it can fit into one sentence.
It's the same perception I had. He mostly seemed like somebody who was proud about being smart and thinking about things more deeply, and he has had pretty normal views on politics when he has lightly mentioned them in the past.
I don't know, maybe the pandemic broke his brain or maybe he has always been a libertarian type guy who gets caught up conspiracy theory stuff.
I think he is gonna be embarrassed by all this. He can claim that people are trying to "cancel" him or whatever, but people are mostly just laughing at him.
-
I've had some suspicions about Rodgers, but you could never really tell if he was being ironic or serious.
All he had to do was say, hey I thought I might be allergic to something in the vaccine, so I tried something else. He would have gotten shit for it, but not too much. Going off the rails and yelling about woke mobs and getting canceled (something only 70 years olds on Facebook call everything anymore) and saying you get medical advice from Joe Rogan, that is what made him look so dumb.
-
Aaron Rodgers just said he presented his research to the NFL. "They thought I was a quack."
Gonna have to go with the NFL on this one.

Hope the Packers trade Rodgers to the Jets.

sure seems like they should have just traded him to denver pre-draft
edit: I was wrong, I thought 2022 was voided. Packers somehow ended up in way better shape and with the qb. That's...that's great. I love how the football gods just always spread the wealth.
They could hit big on all this. Love is really good, you get an absolute ton for Rodgers and now you signed Adams and have money for anyone.
This all depends on Love being good.
They also look like idiots if Rodgers ends up being good until like 45, because then you scouted poorly.
All of this looks so much better then it did about 48 hours ago lol.

I’m a lifelong Bears fan, yet I always liked Rodgers (and Favre). Both are great players. I’m jealous of the success GB has had with them.
That said, both have revealed themselves to be huge douchebags.
Rodgers may have some legit grievances with the team, my biggest issue with him is that he lets other people speak for him. Like come out and say this stuff yourself. Say what you want about the Packers, but we have heard from all the people in charge over the past week and they have been very clear.
Favre's problem is that he never shuts up.

When the report about Rodgers came out yesterday I immediately thought "it must be draft day" 😂
I finished a big school paper yesterday and was like ok lets have a see whats going on with the draft.....

Do you think Rodgers is out? Or is this year two of the five year divorce? I can't tell
I can't tell either, although them not trading him yesterday makes me think its more of the year two of the divorce.
I think if he stays its going to be because the Packers give him a big deal and that probably means Love is gone at some point. Rodgers doesn't do anything on accident, so all that stuff coming out was planned, but if Rodgers really wanted out, he could have gone live on tv last night and said I'm not playing there anymore. I think he was trying to embarrass them.
Also, not trying to be a homer, but the Packers roster is loaded with talent, he would be crazy to not run it out at least one more time. Thats what I always thought would happen.
-
I feel like the Bears always picking the wrong QB and Ohio State never putting out good NFL qbs is the perfect storm and will actually work. Its science.
Looking forward to the Fields vs Love era in NFC North football.

For Rodgers, San Fran is clearly best, and they'll have a decent package only pre-draft.
For Packers, I feel like Denver would definitely be one of the more attractive packages in getting him out of NFC, getting top 10 pick and the potential they still aren't that good for the next (realistically) 2 years of picks.
But I think every nfl fan has to feel like he just ends up in NE because that's just how stuff works for them.
NE is one team that has the picks.
I always thought next year would be Rodgers last, they have to rework the roster after that anyway, so might as well give it one more shot and then call it.

For sure, or even post-draft.
But boy it sure has escalated from Rodgers is unhappy, to rappaport saying it was just contract drama, to then it being a whole bunch of people clearly from rodgers side being like no I thought I was being traded get me out.
But the lesson of the offseason so far has just been if the teams don't want to trade, just hold on, it eventually gets tenable.
Definitely shocking to hear, but I can't figure out if this is a push for another year on the contract or something more serious, like get me out of here.
The other thing is like, if its not to the 49ers and it cant be, Rodgers is taking a risk going to probably a less talented team and in Mahomes division maybe.
-
If it happens, its going to be around the first ten or so picks tonight. I don't think they would trade him after for picks that are probably going to be a lot lower going forward.
-
Trade him to the Jets for like 5 first round picks.

How can you give Watson 230 million guaranteed with whats going on with him? That's crazy right?
