Packers Roster Breakdown Over - Time to Focus on Building a New Team for 2021!

 Salary Cap issues, Re-structuring Contracts, Free Agents, and the 2021 Draft!  It is time to make the Packers of 2021 into a Super Bowl Winner!

This is when it begins!  The 2021 NFL season is in the making & what thoughts are on the mind of this NFL fan???

1 - Contracts?  Some players get it, others DO NOT!  Of course, the BIG names NEED to try to focus on team aspirations!  But, that is not always the case.  First, a trip back in time!  Growing up in the 50's & 60's, the average NFL player would get paid like most average people!  In fact, in the off season they would get part time jobs!  Car salesman, substitute teacher, something to compliment their NFL salary!!!  And do NOT forget, the NFL owners!  They are rolling in the $$$$$$$$  As of today,  JJ Watt is off to the world of $$$$$$$$$$$ - another player that is not chasing Super Bowls, bu $$$$$ Bowls!  2 years for $31,000,000?  Glad he is NOT on our team!

2 - Re-Structure?  Like we mentioned earlier David Bakhtiari, helped with the salary cap by re-structuring his contract.  Added $8-9  million toward Packer salary cap.  Now, will any other players do the same???  Time will tell!

3 - Free Agents?  As of today, the Packers have 26 free agents!!!  My top ones are:

Robert Tonyan - TE

Aaron Jones - RB

Allan Lazard - WR

Corey Linsley - C

Lane Taylor - G

Jamaal Williams - RB

Tyler Lancaster - DL

Raven Greene - S

Chandon Sullivan - CB

Tyler Ervin - RB

We have already sent  Kirksey & Wagner packing, so we are down to 24.  Out of this list, my must have are Tonyan at TE and one of the running backs Williams & Jones!  I hope someone is listening!  Tonyan has become one of the best TE's in the league & the Packer offense needs a receiving TE!  Jones is the player, but Williams is probably cheaper & VERY dependable!  Next, Linsley is probably gone, Taylor would keep the offensive line depth that we need to last the entire season.  Lazard is VERY steady and blocks well for the running game.  Lancaster provides dept on the defensive line, but should not start!  King needs to go at CB, so we need to keep someone for depth!  Same with Greene at safety, depth!  So, out of the 24 free agents left, looks like 5-6 should stay.  All depends on the cap space!

2021 Draft - first, NO NEED for a quarterback!  How about, a clever idea, a starter!!!  Yes, a player that will help on game 1!  How about........ a starter at inside linebacker!!  Someone with speed and a tackling machine!  Or, a D-lineman, a run stopper, a PUSH in the middle to assist Z Smith & Gary!  We will spend the next month focusing on the draft!

2021 NFL

Super Bowl!
