It was originally reported that Sammy Watkins signed a one year, 4 million dollar deal with the Packers.  The words “up to” 4 million were emphasized. Today we found out how emphasized it actually was: https://twitter.com/keningalls/status/1516411952616165378?s=21&t=USBR6EJnugXfZwraTRwPYw Less than one million dollars against the cap?  For a veteran deep threat wide receiver?  Absolutely incredible work by Russ Ball.  Here is an even further breakdown of the contract: https://twitter.com/mattschneidman/status/1516428222132633603?s=21&t=USBR6EJnugXfZwraTRwPYw This move should absolutely leave room for moves in the future if Green Bay desires to.

Brian Gutekunst has traded up in the first round in three of his four NFL drafts as the Packers GM. In the 2018 Draft Gutekunst initially traded back in the first round, only to trade up to take Jaire Alexander. In 2019 he traded up to take Darnell Savage with the 21st pick. As we all remember in 2020, Gutekunst traded up in the first round to take Joran Love with the 26th pick.  History could repeat itself in 2022: Proposed trade has Green Bay trading with New England: New England currently holds the 21st pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. …

The Green Bay Packers are going to be in the wide receiver market seemingly all off-season long.  This bodes well for trade proposals from all over the league.  This one may not be DK Metcalf or Deebo Samuel, but it would bring in a veteran deep threat for Aaron Rodgers. Green Bay Packers trade for wide receiver Tyler Lockett Gary Davenport, an NFL analyst at Bleacher report proposed a trade that would send the 29 year old veteran to Green Bay.  Gary went on to say: “The Packers’ Super Bowl window isn’t getting any wider, and the notion that the…

The draft is officially 10 days away and the Packers are sitting with the second most draft picks (11) in the NFL.  To say that a trade is impossible, or “for certain” won’t happen is simply wrong.  There is, of course, no guarantee a trade will get done, but here are three trade scenarios that could realistically happen: Trade Scenario #1: Trade up for a wide receiver The Jets (who pick twice), Falcons, and Giants all have draft picks in the top ten.  All three of these teams have a need for wide receiver, especially the Jets.  The New York…

The event features major professional golfers facing each other in a head-to-head competition.  The format has varied throughout the run of the event, with three of the five entries featuring a “best ball” format where professional golfers are typically paired with an NFL quarterback or, in one case, a basketball player.  This year is a bit different…

It is no secret that the wide receiver market is absolutely on fire lately.  A wide receiver making 30 million dollars a year is not longer something to laugh at.  It’s actually happening.  Many star wide receivers around the league are seeing these numbers and know their play on the field, demands a large pay day: https://twitter.com/AdamSchefter/status/1515995258106044418?s=20&t=lsQ6_btcmIYfQ5cL14UKMg Terry McLaurin, AJ Brown, and Deebo Samuel were all drafted in the second round or later.  This means each player received a standard four-year contract.  Now each player has one year left on his original rookie deal in a wide receiver market that…

This off-season has been nothing short of crazy.  One big new topic after another.  Trades and signings have been at the forefront of the last month in the NFL.  Today Tom Brady added to the off-season madness: https://twitter.com/TomBrady/status/1515775147088785412?s=20&t=Zg2evXGMakoJheviGWbEng What could this be about?  Matt Schneidman may have the answer: https://twitter.com/mattschneidman/status/1515781298119393283?s=20&t=Zg2evXGMakoJheviGWbEng Last year Aaron Rodgers and Bryson DeChambeau won “The Match” vs Phil Mickelson and Tom Brady: https://twitter.com/SportsCenter/status/1412606342423060481?s=20&t=Zg2evXGMakoJheviGWbEng This year it could be Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, and Josh Allen participating In the legendary Golf Match.

The Green Bay Packers added a much needed piece to their wide receiver room this past week.  Sammy Watkins will bring a deep threat presence that Matt Lafleur wanted to replace after Marquez Valdes-Scantling left.  However it is clear that Green Bay isn’t done adding to their wide receiver room. David Kenyon of Bleacher Report suggested that a trade between the Packers and the Seahawks for Pro Bowl wide receiver DK Metcalf is one of the “most plausible” deals that could go down on NFL Draft Day later this month. He laid out his case in a piece published Thursday, April…

The Green Bay Packers finally added to their wide receiver room this week. Adding veteran wide receiver Sammy Watkins seemed like a move Green Bay has needed to make for some time.  As it turns out Aaron Rodgers had. vital role in the signing of Sammy Watkins. https://twitter.com/Schultz_Report/status/1515437251257409546?s=20&t=LDRNkoynol889DAQZgS8Cw Aaron Rodgers made it clear during the 2020 off-season that he wanted to be more apart of the decisions the front office makes.  Since then it has been obvious that Brian Gutekunst has reached out to Rodgers for advice on multiple occasions.  The Sammy Watkins signing was clearly no different. Watkins made…
