We also had $22M last year between Bradford, Teddy and Keenum, so it's not like we're spending an extra $20M over last year.Minnesota is spending $29M/year on Kirk Cousins and Trevor Siemian.
Arizona is spending $28M/year on Sam Bradford and Mike Glennon.
NYJ are spending $25M/year on Josh McCown and Teddy Bridgewater.
Makes the Kirk deal look pretty decent to me.
Who would he replace? Hunter?Rumors are that Vikings are in on Sheldon Richardson. If we could manage to sign him that would be huge.
Russell Wilson is a good quarterback but he's no Aaron Rodgers, especially behind that offensive line. YPC can be dictated by play calling as well.His YPC is his lowest ever, and receptions (57) are also very low compared to when he was in his heyday in NO. I watch Seattle a fair amount...like them, in spite of their coach. It could just be that Wilson couldn't get him the ball because he was always running for his life behind that crappy O line- Walter Jones, where are you?- but you it's not like he is a bad QB. Just don't expect the Graham of 5 years ago.
I wonder if Belicheck will grab Nelson?
Jared Cook was a good tight end and Rodgers wanted him back. Ted Thompson disregarded that. I think that was definitely a factor in him being removed as GM, especially with how horrible Bennett was.Rodgers has had plenty of decent (but no great) TEs in recent years but has never clicked with any of them. It's a bit odd. I think Graham catches a lot of TDs, especially with Jordy gone, but I can't see him having some monster year.
Okay... sure...I'm bookmarking both of these quotes for the end of the next NFL season.
Sorry, I've liked Jimmy Graham for awhile. Buddy of mine from Indianapolis is a huge Drew Brees fan, dates back to his time at Purdue, so I'm hoping Graham can replicate those times with a better quarterback. I just think with all the options the packers have on offense I don't see how it won't be top 5, with Graham being a big part of it. No pun intended.Okay... sure...
I'm not saying anything controversial or ripping Rodgers, just telling it how it is. If Graham has a monster year, I'm wrong, I don't care.
I think a corner should be on our radar. I don't know if Alexander is ready to be thrown into the fire yet. Is Newman back for another year? We just have to plan on his body breaking down eventually. If we could get Mathieu in here to bolster our secondary, I'd be pretty happy.I read somewhere that Richardson was asking for $15M, which would be way too much. I have a few friends who are close to the situation saying we're in on Tyron Mathieu as well and he is quoted saying it isn't about the money. We have the space, which is more important, DT or DB?
