What I've also taken away from this is, no one should listen to Aaron Rodgers' recommendations.  It's clear Rodgers makes those guys and not the other way around.

Yeah. Tbh I thought he’d be a good hire. Seemed to be a good teacher, smart and he got rave reviews outside Rodgers too. But it’s so bad and they have to do something to recoup the investment in RW that he needs to be gone. It’s unfortunate because normally you’d like to see a coach get 3 years.

They don't have a choice. They're stuck with him for at least two more years due that contract. They can't afford to get rid of him prior to that. They won't be able to field a roster.

Not if they do one of those old-school baseball star contracts, or they spread this money out over five or six years. They may just have to eat that money and spread it out so it doesn’t go against the cap as much. Either way, this is one of THE WORST nfl contracts of allll time.

But will they be able to attract a good coach with the team inextricably tied to Wilson?

You can only spread it out if he is on the roster and you can add years, he is already for six years with base salary between 44 and 50 Million in the dummy years. With his incentives to change anything being zero they will just have to eat it.

Or shorter, they fugged themselves and the herd they rode in on.

According to Peter King, the cap hit on cutting Wilson would be $107 million. I don't think there's enough spreading to make that a workable number. They are stuck with him for now.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
