Josh Jacobs got a fully guaranteed contract last year being the No. 24 picks and being a running back. (4yr/11.9m)

There is nothing special about the Love deal. (4yr/12.4m at pick 26)

This lol.

The article said that it was the first time a 26th pick has gotten a fully guaranteed deal. You literally stated why it was special. Especially for Green Bay. Regardless of how other franchises operate, GB is always a bit different in their approach and to not only draft a QB in round 1 again, but to also give a fully guaranteed deal for that pick seems significant

The trend is every year a lower pick gets their contract fully guaranteed. Idk why you are comparing green bay to their old approach they have a new gm with a totally different philosophy on how to build a roster. There's nothing significant about the contract at all. It's just the trend in the NFL. Next year most likely the 27th or 28th pick will get full guaranteed no matter what team it is.

I'll be sure to tell the author that his article was pointless and to remove it from cbssports. A new GM and HC definitely has changed the way we do things now, but I think this is getting a bit diluted from my original point which was that not only did we trade up to get the lad, but he was signed quickly and got a fully guaranteed deal. Pretty hard to make a bigger statement about how much they trust him going forward and what that means for ARod

cood see the pats getting arod for peanuts down the road, or even the cowgirls if dak gets greedy.

If he plays with us beyond 2021 I'd be very surprised.

Idk what your original point was but it wasn't current. I just commented on the contract he signed. They did get the contract done quick compared to other teams, they do seem to be sending a message. I think the message is also aimed towards Rodgers, because reports have mentioned that even though it appears that Rodgers and LaFleur get along well on camera and say the right things to the media that there is tension behind closed doors because there is a big difference in how they both want the offense to go. Lafleur wants a run heavy approach with more play-action and Rodgers does not.

Rodgers is very powerful because of his contract and his backing by the fan base. He's basically untradeable the next 2-3 years because of the dead cap money he'd create and he knows he's basically a lock to be the QB in Green Bay no matter what for that time frame. I think there is some message behind the Love being done that quick but other messages came during the draft by not taking a WR and taking a RB with their 2nd pick that the GM is supporting Lafleur's approach over Rodgers(which he should).

Honestly though I'm not that impressed by Love. Lots of potential for sure but had major issues with turnovers last year. 17 is a lot of interceptions in a college season no matter what the situation is.

My initial reaction to Love was similar and hasn't really changed aside from what the club seems to be doing do pave the way for his succession clearly means they see something the video and numbers don't portray. That's the whole reason I even posted here. Regardless of how it plays out, after watching the likes of Kizer, Hundley, Tolzien, Seneca fucking Wallace and Final Flynn I can at least be optimistic that Love won't be as bad as they were.

Blows that we will almost undoubtedly lose a year of Rodgers due to the virus. As if the window wasn't small enough already.
