Just a somewhat interesting read from another perspective. Perhaps, wishful thinking, but still interesting.

From the Sporting News:

Dear Mr. Peppers:

16 years ago, Reggie White signed a deal with the Green Bay Packers that changed the face of the league for the next several years. While the Packers had a new, young starter at quarterback and many talented players around him, it was Reggie White that changed the culture in Green Bay. It was Reggie White who made it clear that Green Bay could produce a winning team, could be a destination for elite players, and who transformed a hopeful team into one of the best teams of the nineties, including a Super Bowl...

I have to note though that every single player he mentions @ OLB had already proven they could play it when they signed those deals. Pep hasn't. It's pretty unusual for a guy 7 years into his career and considered a premier talent at the original position change positions that drastically. That's why I am curious to see what type of deal he signs on another team.

      It was nothing. It was a nice run in an easy schedule that did nothing but lose us DJ Moore and a lot more. We were 2-15 in 2023. Based on your logic, that winning finish should have been a launching point. For as much as you want to say we shouldn’t have taken a risk, you still can’t admit that the plans we tankers laid out were proven correct. There’s no revisionist history. We said we should have traded Burns to the Rams. We said we should have sold off anything not bolted down like Brown and Horn and even Icky because they were in the 5 year plan. There is no disconnect, we tried to keep winning and draft a rookie QB and we lost about 4 1st round picks of value that could have been given to the guys you think might be the right crew.

      You’re assuming Fitt still gets fired at the same time. That’s the problem with all these hypothetical hindsight thoughts. If we had a fire sale so to speak I’m not sure the GM gets fired a year or two later due to a bad roster and bad record. Fitt went into win now mode, made it seem like we were only a QB away “we won’t drafting this high again” trading picks for vets etc and when he couldn’t show results he was fired. I’m sure this was all mentioned in his GM interviews. What’s his plan to turn us around and how quickly can he do it. Also you want last year’s CMC and Burns on our roster? At their price? Moving on from both was the right call, with Burns being the wrong time. If a team does a full roster strip down rebuild it can buy the GM more time as long as everyone is on the same page.
