Packers 2025-26 Season Thread

Lot of crybabies on social media saying fire Gute. I swear no pleasing these crybabies. Gute tried everything he could with Alexander. Alexander refused to make a trade work by refusing to redo his contract. Would not redo his contract to stay in GB. A injury prone player wanted out and GB finally gave it to him. Also a lot of people with their heads in the clouds thinking adding pass rush will fix the CB group. No it won't. Adding pass rush no guarantee they are doing any better or that the QB quick throws in 2 seconds to a WR that is wide open because our CB are awful.
 
Per Albert Breer The Packers offered Jaire Alexander a reduced, incentive-laden one year deal that would have made him a free agent in 2026. Alexander turned it down not liking the structure.

So Jaire never wanted to stay in GB. Screw the injury prone diva. I hope he sucks were ever he goes. Deal probably had incentives on games played and did not trust himself to stay healthy for a year.

I agree. Too much to pay for someone you have to be prepared to have not a decent but a great backup CB due to the amount of games he misses. Didn't leave the Packers any choice in my opinion. I say screw him too since he wasn't willing to understand and work it out.

Safe beg is he lands in MN. FP(

I am not sure why it took this long, though. He was never going to play here again?

I suppose that Jalen Ramsey can enter the conversation now. I'm not for it as it just seems to add a problem right after subtracting a problem. But there is no question that Ramsey can still play, is likely better than a healthy Alexander and has averaged 14.67 games played over the last 3 years (missed 7 games in 2023, started all 17 games in 2024).

Overthecap has Ramsey's cap number at 16.661 million, but the Dolphins are on the hook for the pro-rated part of his signing bonus and have already paid his roster bonus, so the new team would only pay him 5.816 million this year and not be on the hook for any money past this season. So at a salary cap figure of less than 6 million, even a Ramsey detractor (like me) cannot find any fault with the money aspect.

Gutekunst likely held onto Alexander this long thinking he could actually get something for him on the trade market, which wasn't the smartest thing considering his contract and the missed playing time. No doubt the Dolphins would probably start by asking for something like a third and fourth round pick for Ramsey. When all is said and done I think the max they get out of him is a fifth but it's probably just as likely they either get a sixth OR they end up taking a pick swap...something like getting a 5th in 2026 and then giving back a 7th in 2027. One thing that helps is that it sound like the most interested party in Ramsey was the Rams, and the national media (who admittedly, has been wrong about just about everything this off-season) is now talking about the Rams being the likely landing spot for Alexander. So if there was any competition to get Ramsey, having Alexander out there probably removes one team from that list.

Again, I'm not in favor of Ramsey, but if a Ramsey fan would argue that you bring him in and deal with the attitude for one year...at the price-tag of under 6 million and either give up something like a 6th round pick, I don't think I could argue that it's a bad move.
 
I equate this move to the Brewers not acquiring a 3rd baseman last off-season. Gutey knew that an outside CB was a great position of need and has not dealt with it adequately. Maybe the Packers can cover up this deficiency with a stronger pass rush (Van Ness, Cox Jr., Gary, Enagbare, Brooks, Wooden, Wyatt and Clark to name a few)but this doesn’t look any better than last season. It appears we will be looking forward to many high scoring games this season. I hope the offense will be up to the challenge.

Agree. I don't think Ramsey will even be considered by Gute. Ramsey is another headcase who never seems happy and bitches about his pay after a year or two at his new team.

Rasul Douglas I could see brought back. Would probably be better then most of what we have now at CB.

Outside thought bring in Samuel Jr but issues with him are he's a poor tackler.
