I don't blame him. Have you read my posts?
What? Why?
I'm down as a Jets fan on our table, you know.
Bears. 
Bears.
Good luck with that.
oh no.Don't mind @Raoul. He's just jealous of you for having the guts to pick a team.
The Bears are a historic team. Just going through a bit of transition at the moment.
At the moment is pretty much since I started watching around 2010
Tha Bears may not win that division anytime soon but they’ll be a fun watch on offense.
Decent choice. Just drafted what's expected to be a top QB (I have my doubts) built a nice offense around him. Historic franchise in a tough division.Bears.
Enjoy!
Looking forward to the ride.
Steeler Nation...let's ride!
Why not build into the pushing of the heavy sled? Take a couple of days to ease into it.

Why the feck is Wilson even participating in such?
Tua's agent as well
Tua's been paid.
Not bad for someone who can't play in the cold.
Those numbers are just preposterous.
He's fine. QB's that are just fine get $50m a year now.
QB salaries are madness. Be interesting to see what Love gets and then it’s Purdy next year.
Edit - Purdy could go from probably the lowest paid QB in the league to the top.

I'm afraid thinking about what we might end up paying Love.
WTF Packers!!
Purdy will get 50 plus mill no question. Hopefully he takes a little less so we can still keep a bunch of talent around him, Mahomes style.
It’s hard to judge obviously but I do think Purdy will take a team friendly deal.
Why’s that? Recent deals have only driven the market value further up.
Love the highest paid QB in history
Being a QB’s agent must be the easiest job in the world.
I don’t know how to feel about this.
Packers paying the price earlier due to the shortened 2nd contract
That Love deal.
I think it’s not outrageous if you compare him to other QB‘s. But dedicating so much of your cap to a single player doesn’t sit right with me.That Love deal.
Thought Love looked good the second half of last year but that’s a huge deal. I’m not the most knowledgeable when it comes to the salary cap so no idea how this will affect us going forwards. Either way, roll on the start of this season!
He’s had half a season of good play, he wasn’t great the first half. If he continues his trajectory then the deal isn’t the worst, but if it was a flash in the pan then it seems premature at best.
It doesn’t matter. The salary cap just keeps going up and up. Journalists will keep using “biggest ever” in their articles, but it’s pretty logical why that is the case, especially for QB’s.
I think calling him good for the second half of the season doesn’t do him justice. He was brilliant. That was elite level performance we saw from him. Especially the playoff game against Dallas was incredible.
It’s just that spending this much on a single player tends to weaken your roster everywhere else. It’s a shame we didn’t get more out of his rookie contract.
I think the Dolphins will regret paying Tua
Agree on Love's play but disagree on getting more out of his rookie contract. It just seems strange compared to other teams cos he was properly developed by sitting and watching Rodgers for several seasons. What's unique is that besides Jacobs, most if not all, their skill players are still on their rookie contracts. Unless you've got a stud QB, teams typically try building by getting a rookie QB so you can pay the pieces around him (e.g. 49ers). Packers are a very young team and without Love it doesn't work. He was always going to get paid.
