Rodgers Wants Out

Adams I think is well into contract negotiations and isn’t doing squat til he’s secure. Just my speculation but I think it makes sense.

Jaire didn’t show up either but no one talking about him. He’s young and he has pull now, some of these guys are just going to stay home unless they have to do otherwise. And on a personal note maybe it makes sense, last year they played under negotiated lock down conditions, stuff opening back up now, they can probably go socialize with friends and family and blow off steam out in the open for the first time in over a year. Surprised more guys didn’t stay home.
 
If I was making $10 mill a year, and they were paying the expenses for me to show up and grab an extra $500, I'd be on that damned plane to GB in a heartbeat. It's not about the money. It's about getting yourself physically in tune with the coming year, finding out what you have to do to improve, and experiencing the majority of the installs that will probably be happening when fall rolls around. It's really all about becoming the best you can be.
 
On the WR missing OTA..... the reason why doesn't matter




Your losing practice reps..... there is no covid excuse. Other teams are getting those reps etc. So YES it's a big deal if your a team that wants to get back to the NFC championship and or further.

So let’s say the QB1 never shows up and/or gets traded.
All these WR’s have just missed out on some very valuable time with the QB who could be the next QB1.
You can’t make up that lost time in TC, it’s just opportunity that you just shoved down a rat hole.
I don’t care what the NFLPA is asking it’s rank/file to do.
When you have circumstances like those that currently exist in GB, it is beyond irresponsible of those top 5 WR’s to not be there.
And Funchess especially! He hasn’t played ANY football in 20 months, he’s guaranteed squat at this point and if he doesn’t make this roster his NFL career is on life support.
Regarding Adams not missing a few bucks..........TW, I’d be glad to pm my phone number to you if you can send it to Adams and tell him I’m more than glad to take that $500K he doesn’t want. I’ll do almost anything to pay off my mortgage! hof(hgh)thumbsup

one thing to keep in mind though - over half of the teams decided not to even try to have voluntary otas this year. and of the teams that decided to go ahead with otas, the packers are not the worst in terms of no-shows.

i disagree your contention that "it doesn't matter" why the wrs are not there. if they are staying away out of "solidarity" for a teammate, that's worse imho than staying away because they don't want to risk injury unless they have to.

but yes, i do get your point about losing practice reps.

What will happen in games 1-5 5 is they'll be out of sync and sputter and no one will say" Well gee maybe if they had practiced that timing play more we might not look like slugs in cement"

The injury thing is a load of banta poodoo, dudes wanna hang at home and vaca longer. Cool beans, again no excuses during go time here.
 
These WR's need all the snaps they can get with any QB. No excuse outside of Adams to be sitting on asses at home.
 
I think since 12 isn’t there, Adams should think twice about his decision.
A sizable decrease in production has potential to hurt his value on the market.
JMHO.
His “tactic” may cost him more than a workout bonus.
Oh well.......sh))
 
Personal decision or whatever aside. A team of players who are committed to winning it all doesn't skip OTAs. It takes every chance it can to improve and fix the mistakes of the past year.

The more you practice, the better you become. If I was an NFL player, I'd be practicing every moment I could, because when the party is over, it's over. To get the highest bucks possible, you need to be a step ahead of guys opposite you, and guys trying to take your job away from you.

As a coach, the guys who show up, work hard, and contribute at a level that significantly shows they've put in the work, are the ones I count on, when chips are down.

Imagine Navy Seals, or search and rescue teams that don't practice their trade, to insure they are the best they can be.
