He is, that is why the most likely scenario is Rodgers resigning with GB with a bonus heavy contract, leaving cap room for Adams. Rodgers isn't a free agent yet, and Green Bay ain't going to let him go cheap, plus, Adams wants to be the highest paid receiver in the league, so having both of them together somewhere besides Green Bay would take an act of god.
Might take an act of God to keep them both in Green Bay as well. Packers are projected to be about $27 million over the salary cap already. Getting Rodgers to sign a restructure/extension is a necessity, but even if they do, finding enough room for both him and Adams is going to be a challenge. Other veteran players likely cut to make room, and It probably would impact their ability to go after many free agents. That doesn't mean they wouldn't do it, but it's hard to think that Green Bay is going to be better next year than they were this season. Of course with AR and Adams, they'd certainly be very good, but there are a lot of people wondering if Green Bay can ever actually get over the hump with AR at the helm. You have to wonder if anyone in their management is ready to move on.

You mean like winning a Super Bowl? Rodgers is the only reason they've been relevant most of the years they've come up short. He's been as close to a one man show as you can get in the NFL. There are only a couple of other guys currently who could do what he does. They may not have a choice but they will be on the short end of any scenario where he leaves GB.

That's exactly what I mean. The question is out there if Green Bay can win a Superbowl as they are currently constructed. Certainly, I'm not saying that they'd be better without AR next year. But I wonder if some in management are interested in the next chapter. Certainly the drafting of Jordan Love would indicate that it's on their minds.

Rams and Buffalo for me. I'd like to see Buffalo win it all now that the Packers are out. Either them or Cincy, but that seems unlikely.

Cincy isn’t all that unlikely, sure they’ll be the bottom of the odds list but the QB-WR combo is the best going.

I thought I had read they were closer to 50 over next year.

Also, I can’t lie, tonight may have been the biggest stage but it certainly wasn’t the first time Wirtel had a bad outing..
what'd he do wrong?
He got blown up by the guy who blocked the punt.
Ouch! I'll be watching 'Long Snapper' play in the future. I had never heard of Wirtel (don't remember anyway) until today. In a bad way. Yes he (#46) got blown up. Seems like he is very undersized for the position. Aren't good long snappers atleast a little bigger?

Rams are good but something feels off about the Bucs thus far today. Don't seem very focused in.
