Yeah, you can cut and paste my Brandon Cooks reply right here as well.
Speaking of entertainment, Comfortably Numb is about where I am with the Texans.

Then you need to find a tack and sit on it while you watch the Texans next game.
Love the reference.
But I’m excited. As excited as I’ve ever been about this team.
Hope. That’s what I got.
May be gone by half time HOF weekend, but for now, it’s hope.
What is the source of such excitement? I'm looking forward to this season kinda like approaching a bad car wreck in stop & go traffic. Craziest off season ever, OB is still HC AND GM, brand new defensive coordinator with exactly zero games experience as a DC. The Texans have a fairly talented offense, on paper and with the assumption of staying healthy for the majority of the season(YIKES!!). The defense is a whole other issue. Special teams coach retires, so there's more upheaval at a perennial issue for the team.
As fat as my ass has grown during the lock down, I'm not sure I'd feel it.Then you need to find a tack and sit on it while you watch the Texans next game.

Everyone should be looking forward to the season. The team is exciting in the best (and worst) way possible. The schism between the front office and the fans on their opinion on the coaching staff is a ticking time bomb. OB does himself no favors with the way he presents himself. Even if we suck, there will be no shortage of WTF moments. Go Texans!

The Texans would have to pay about $4 million of Cobb's salary to make that deal.

Sounds like GB needs to trade for Cobb more than the Texans need to trade him.

Wow. A 1st rounder. It'll be a low first, but still a one.

If that's a condition for GB to keep Rodgers, the Texans can basically name their price.

The one could be a joke, but not the discussion between Rodgers and the Packers. There's other details involved in their talks, but a trade with the Texans could be on the table.
Doesn’t matter. The contract is what it is. Dead money has to accrue

That's not the same as paying his salary this year. Dead money accruing for cash already paid to him and just prorated for salary cap purposes.
Is O'Brien working for the Packers now?

Damn. That’s the most accurate guess ever made.
If he is there let’s see if he will swap a first and Adams for Cobb.

I doubt the round one but would jump on it. Cobb base for GB to pay is $8.25 this season and $7.875 for 2023. Cobb is 31 August and I just don't get why Rodger wants him. I realize they played together at Green Bay but Cobb stats wise only avg at best although he had rep as solid in slot. Darn I hope this happens.
Depends upon how much salary the Texans would eat. Packers have $4 million and change under the cap, and Cobb's salary is over $8 million.

Trading Cobb brings Texans $8 million cap savings and if they paid half his 2021 base of just over $8 they would have a net of $4m cap savings.

We need one of these situations that are pro Texans to freakin happen.

I find it hard to believe the Packers would give up a 1st round pick for a 31 year old slot receiver. Then again, their GM moved up in the 1st round of the draft last year to take a QB to replace the MVP - so anything is possible.
That would be crazy to get more value for Cobb than Hopkins.
I'm sure it would be a done deal if they were offering a 1st.
At least I think it would be a done deal.
Uh... I hope it would be a done deal.
Actually I have no idea what Caserio would do if GB offered a 1st.
powda
The bridge between stupid and useless is short.
Easterby would probably lecture Nick on what a sin it is to steal and we would make the trade for a late 6th round pick.

And now may give up a first pick to get a receiver the MVP is demanding, after they moved up to draft the MVP'S replacement. Seems like Green Bay is treating their roster and draft capital like they're playing Madden.

Green Bay may be figuring out how to get under the cap since Cobb would put them over the cap. Not to mention they have to sign their upcoming draft class too.
Yeah, I bet that's it.

Seems like they're trying to keep their MVP quarterback happy. Who knows even the Astros just pulled off a heck of a trade with Mariners. And there are rumors that the Rockets could move Wall.

Packers saved almost two million in cap space by cutting Blake Bortles and quarterback dolegala today. Salary cap space should be approximately 6 Million now.

I just found this stating that Aaron Rodgers has adjusted his contract to increase cap space for the Pack They also voided his 2023 season:

What the Aaron Rodgers' contract restructure with the Green Bay Packers means
Reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers seem to have come to terms on somewhat of a compromise after months of drama between the two sides.

Nice catch BB.
Rodgers bought his freedom after he plays this year.
You guys who think the Packers are gonna swap a first round pick for Cobb are smoking some of Thorns really good stuff unless it's tied to
some very onerous conditions or is maybe in the '23 Draft, otherwise maybe we get a third round pick in next years Draft.

I agree, but if I’m Caserio I’m telling Green Bay, hey, how much do you want to keep Mr. Rodgers happy? If you really, REALLY want Cobb, here’s where it starts.
I am expecting to be disappointed in the return... anything more than the 5th round that was just traded would please me
