I think that is a lot more likely than most people in here seem to think.

It's amazing the rabbit holes some posters will contort themselves to go down.

Team came right out and said they weren't trying to trade Dillard,  Peters is not re-signed, the draft just passed which would have been a great time to trade an unwanted player. But now somehow "logic" says  that if we sign Peter's that's it for Dillard.

Logic tells me not to jump to conclusions without some kind of evidence. But what do I know 

Peters is not getting a lot of interests in the league as a player.  With the Eagles as a player, he can't be the back-up in terms of PT or pay.    They could just sign him to retire as an Eagles.  Also keep him on coaching staff to help with the OT prospects (there are a few.)  They could pay him freely without cap restriction as coach.

If any team would be willing to sit their future franchise QB for 3 years, I agree it would be Green Bay.  Worked well for them the 1st time, but it is still an exception.  If Love is sitting for 3 years, it won't be behind anyone other than Rodgers.  If they end up trading Rodgers next offseason for some reason, then Love will be the starter.  

not only that the cap ramifications make it hard for the packers to deal Rodgers this season. It’s 45 mil dead money before June 1. It’s 14.3 Mil after June 1 and in his scenario take on whatever Jimmy G’s money is as well. They rather play this season out then deal Rodgers next year if need be. Plus their team is constructed to Rodgers being Rodgers. I doubt in June they decide to change that up.

Mmmkay.

I going to have to change my screen name if we sign Amukamara as it will get confusing with he and the other 2.

Hopefully we don't, Dillard has a great year, and the rest is history.

I hate every single player the Cowboys drafted. I hope y'all do too.

Always!

I got in a massive blowout on the old blog about Hollins, a draft pick I LOVED when they signed Wallace.  

You don't sign a crappy veteran at the end of the line...yes, I'm calling Peters that...to start over a 2nd year player when you have any expectations for that player.  It means you know they can't do the job.  So if they sign Peters, that's it for Dillard.  

Senior bowlon nfln now and Hurts is in

I’m guessing the packers really have no interest in dealing him right now. First if they deal before June 1st it’s 45 mil dead money hit. And even after June 1st it’s 14.3 mil dead money. So that’s highly unlikely they just take 14.3 to get rid of him. Second why then take on Jimmy g’s contract which is more money added on to the dead money. If their roster is the 4th best in the division with Rodgers on it then jimmy G isn’t making you for all thay. At that point you likely aren’t constructed to win with Jimmy G’a skills compared to Rodgers you are better off just giving love the reps and snaps and seeing what happens and getting him experience.

Would Rodgers if they were willing to deal him this year fetch a nice pick? Yes. Still don’t see the niners giving up jimmy g and a first and a mid round pick. I still doubt it happens this year. We are already in May and it wouldn’t likely happen til June cap ramifications. I highly doubt it this year. 

Good point.  I feel like this would have been Don C's first response to this absurd trade idea.  😂

Love sits max two years. if he’s still sitting going into 2022 it’s because Rodgers won a Super Bowl or he’s (Love) not any good.

You do sign crappy veterans at the end of their careers as depth though.

That’s a different scenario and not a good  comparison. You make valid points and I think I’m with you but you’re trying a bit too hard now.

If I let my 3 year old set a board and I had final say but we stuck to the board my draft would be horrible. Howie was handicapped by Joe setting the board. Its not a fair evaluation to judge Howie on those picks. Also, according to the article about the tie breaker on the JJAW pick, Howie wasnt the tie breaker. The people with more "clout" broke the tie, and Howie chose their guy. They used Howie as their puppet. He might turn in the card, but they werent necessarily his picks. 

Joe presided over 3? drafts here, and they all quite sucked. Hes gone, and Howie picked a whole bunch of exciting athletic players. We will see how that turns out but one thing is for sure- we are so lucky Joe is finally gone. 

I think we need to see how our class fares vs the jets class before we draw much of a conclusion

howie could have learned and/or made a conscious decision to alter his pick profile

Holy crap am I so glad the Dolphins took that DE from Oregon. Drawing a blank on his name but that’s a very under the radar draft result. Dion Jordan?

Yeah it was Dion Jordan who chip really wanted. Thankfully the dolphins took him and we got lane.

His super bowl book also had a ton of mistakes in it as well. Like 8 that I caught. He had the giants winning the division in 2016 when it was the cowboys who won. (Don’t ask why i have it. Got it as a holiday gift)

Yep. Somehow we luckily fell a** backwards into arguably the best player in the first round.

I think bringing JP back is a win-win. You know he's going to miss some games, so Dillard will still get his chance to start. We'll get a chance to see how he does. Maybe even see if there's a competitive light going off for losing the starting job? We need a backup tackle anyway. I don't think anyone is confident in Mailata/Prince/Driscoll being in that role quite yet.

I see 2020 as a bridge year for Dillard, in this case.

It's not a win-win if Peters costs another $10M in cap.  We need that money to get a veteran LB (Bradham?), possibly a DE (Curry?), possibly a starting corner (Amukamara?), and/or to eat the dead cap when we cut Alshon.

I think there is a limit on Princes.  You going to elevate to King?
