Both Nelson and Cobb could have gotten more on the open market, they gave the Packers somewhat team friendly deals.Looking more and more like franchise, franchise, draft new WR.
I think the Packers did it right by drafting and signing very good WRs who Aaron Rodgers can make great rather than any single great WR who could hold the team hostage. They are paying 80m for both instead of 100m for just one.
"Elite" WRs want Calvin money, which no one in their right minds should pay. How is it the Patriots get away with signing Gronk for 6y/54m and just 13m guaranteed?
Maybe we franchise Dez and AJ Green's agent sets the market appropriately in 2016 so we can sign Dez long term then.
If Dez is trying to hold the franchise hostage to get 150+ million and 50+ guaranteed, he can go fuck himself.
I suspect he'd take something like 6/90 with 40 guaranteed, which I'd be happy to give him. If the franchise is trying to get him to only take about 20-25 guaranteed, something is wrong there.
