I say, find a way to get M. Crosby across from Gary. Build our O-line in draft to support Jacobs, Lloyd, and Wilson. Try to get Tae back in our green and punch our ticket to the SB!! Go Pack Go!!
Our offensive line was great last season. Jordan Love was in the top 5 for least amount of sacks taken and Jacob was in the top 5 running backs. It's our defense. Our outside linebackers are 3-4 linebackers. Unfortunately we need to cut Gary and get outside linebackers that are better suited to play 4-3 defense.
@@Lee86THUNDERyeah if he came back it would have to be for a discount imo. I love Tae and would love to have him come back but I don’t think it’s worth it at a top-of-the-market price tag.
You changed my mind on Higgins. With the history of hamstring injuries and the fact a lot of his success can be attributed to playing opposite Chase, that's a hard NO for me.
It’s that time of year to talk about the packers needing a WR this offseason and spend countless hours on speculation of free agents and top draft prospects to take someone in the third or fourth round
Watched the highlights from the Philly game week 1 this weekend. All the motion, guys wide open, looking explosive. If Tee can get them back to that compared to what it looked like in the playoff game, it will be well worth it.
Really rooting for Packers to add Tee. Add a true WR1 helps Love and other WRs will have more room to operate. Tee is a true WR1 that operates well all around the field, large catch radius, and special in the red zone. 10 TD's last year playing with Chase - expect that to be the floor with upside regression getting WR1 targets as the man without target competition playing next to Chase. Great breakdown on the cost to sign - feel even more optimistic in this happening! Only question should be can he wear #5 - would represent and honor Hornung and how cool would it be to see #5 at Lambeau again especially for a talent like Tee Higgins who would be a true franchise piece to take us to the Super Bowl.
I’m against breaking the bank for a #1 receiver. I don’t think the Packers need a field tilting #1 receiver in their offense. The remaining teams in the playoffs are proof of that. Both AJ Brown and Travis Kelcie are the closet to one, but neither Brown nor Kelcie dictate coverage to defenses. What they are good at doing is finding holes in the defense in order to create passing lanes for their QB. The Packers receivers don’t do that. Both Brown and Kelcie also have QB’s that can use their athleticism to open up passing lanes for them, which is something Jordan Love did not do this year.
@@UnbearablePandamoniumAdams will be much cheaper. Higgins is entering his prime and first real big contract. He’ll command 30 mil/year or more. Adams will probably be in the teens similar to what like D Hop got, 2 years 26 mil, but add inflation and Adams might be in the higher teens per year
@@Matt-yq3gq that seems likely, but we’ll see. There are some teams that can throw some money around that might offer him a similar contract to what Higgins will get. If we can get Tae for $18-$22 million that would be great.
I can’t believe there’s people that are happy with this WR room, there’s one thing this team is missing and it’s an ELITE wr to elevate the rest of the room.
This WR1 take is so played. How did that work out for the Vikings, Bengals, 49ers? Who is the WR1 for the Chiefs, Bills, Commanders? Philly has one but they don't throw to him. Don't waste the money on a WR1
Led the league in drops and against playoffs teams and solid defenses they were open. I think Jayden reed will be good just needs a solid 1 in front of him so he can thrive in the slot
Im torn. My best buddy is a Bengals fan so Ive watched a lot of Tee Higgins, i guess u can call the Bengals my “second team” or whatever. Im not sure if it’s worth the risk giving him wr1 money. Sure he CAN be a wr1 and it can end up being exactly what we need, but we have never seen him be the wr1 on his own team, its not his fault he plays with one of the best receivers in the league, im just not sure. Gives me Jordan Addison vibes. The hamstring issue also makes me nervous. Nonetheless he is proven talent and i would not at all be mad or doubt the decision if we picked him up
We need a solid WR1 vet in the room to set the standard for the young guys. I believe it will help elevate everyone's game in the WR room. I think it will also help Jordan Love elevate his game.
They absolutely need a starting caliber veteran wr. That and a premier pass rusher would make them SB contenders. Not the easiest things to acquire but they have resources
I don't think you are thinking about this season like you should be. We were a heavily run first team. That means those WR didn't get many opportunities to shine. Also a WR is only as good as the QB is and Jordan Love wasn't passing the ball to the open receiver. You also didn't mention how good the WR getting open percentage. Our receivers made some pretty great catches when they needed too.
The offense was poorly ran in general. The Wr got more than enough opportunities to do something. Love wasn’t great but guys weren’t catching the ball or they weren’t open. They made good catches but also dropped many passes when we needed a catch.
This is just silly talk. Higgins would never come to GB. He will have his choice of a top tier QB (not an average one like Love), a warm weather location or dome stadium, for a team a little closer to championship level... even if that means taking a few million less. These decisions are a heck of a lot more complex than simply who will pony up the most money. Higgins would cost this team a boatload, and I remain extremely skeptical we have the right QB in there to make him successful.
At a certain point we need a veteran in the WR room to actually help the WRs. Higgins may not be the answer because of how much he will cost, but our WR corps leading the league in drops and making small mental errors killed us this year. It might also help Love if he had more of a go-to guy, but I don’t think the attitude of “we’ll Love isn’t any good so we shouldn’t try and get more talent at WR” is helpful. We need a veteran WR for our WR development, not our QB… and you don’t get anything extra for having unused cap space.
Really truthfully, the Packers just need a veteran. A guy in the locker room to give these guys confidence and who won’t be begging for the ball 24/7. They really just need a guy on a 1 year deal, 3 at most. Tee is not a bad idea, but signing Tee would really mean the development of our younger guys will be halted. Tee would also probably ask for the ball a lot which isn’t what we need.
You love a player that can't stay healthy, remember this is a business. He has great potential, however when you are not on the field , it won't help the team. They need to play Melton, heath over some of the other players. Those 2 guys hold on to the ball and is fast.
I want more Malik heath!!! I think he’s better at contested catches and idk what they ain’t seeing in practice but he shows out in games when the ball goes his way. I want to see it go his way more n get him more game reps
You make a good case on going to get a wr. But I don't think our gm is gonna do it. i hope I'm wrong plus I think we need a better pass rusher. Our defensive line was lack luster for sure this year.
What’s crazy is the last 3 1st round WR’s drafted by the Packers are Javon Walker, Sterling Sharpe, James Lofton… TWO OUT OF THREE ARE HALL OF FAMERS! Why in the blue black fluck we don’t draft more is besides me lol even if just to check out the franchise’s luck with it lol
If he wants 27m GB should be at his front door once the clock strikes for teams to be able to conversate with free agents... Higgins, Kraft and Jacobs bruising styles will create hella windows for everybody else...
I think we need to add talent at WR. I don't care who it is. I'm concerned about Doubs physical and mental health. We need an outside/downfield threat. I thought Watson was going to be that, but I don't think he's durable enough. So, whether we get a 1st round WR pick (plug and play) or Tee Higgins, the Packers need to pony up and go for it.
I’m actually all for GB trying to make the WR room better. I also love Higgins. I wanted us to draft him. I’m in the no group though and not even because of the money it would cost. I just don’t see the amount of money it will cost giving us the return in value. 25 million to a guy who played just 12 games 2 years in a row? Who in GB is gonna draw coverage away from him? I’m still in Love’s corner, but folks, we’re not talking about Joe Burrow here throwing passes to Higgins. MLF? The master of illusion? I don’t think MLF showed well this year in his coaching. Is he gonna improve enough to make Love better and scheme for Higgins? Conclusion? I don’t think spending that much money will help us and not because of Higgins, because of the lack of what we can provide around him. Injuries too. However!! If you want to have a Higgins on our team at a fraction of the cost. A guy who doesn’t drop passes, has massive win rates on 50/50’s, Jayden Higgins, Iowa State.
I would love Higgins or Adam's. I'd prefer Higgins but I'm not sure if Gute will be as aggressive this year. It's only ever happened once so I'm not gonna count on it and get my hopes up.
We have a wide receiver for everything you can ask from a receiver (route runner, deep threat, etc.) but we don’t have a guy that double all or multiple. Or WRs are all one dimensional. That’s the issue.
@@Cheesehead_Fanatic14 except the deep threat is gone now, and the route running was shown to be more suspect when every single WR didn’t get better this past season. They need to all get better and they need a Watson replacement in addition to another player.
I didn't see anything this season that said we're set at wide receiver! I watched and the numbers bear out that we need better talent at the position. This was Not my view prior to the season but now that the season is over, the Packers could not beat man coverage which should be the easiest coverage to beat. Maybe it was Love not being on time and in rhythm but I rarely noticed receivers wide open while Love had time and didn't get them the ball
Probably should get an alpha pass rusher to make our defense take a step forward. We probably need a CB to either play across from Alexander or replace him if the Packers cut ties with him. I think we need more LBs to have rotation. We could draft a receiver that could have an immediate impact or we should try to grab a reasonable mid-level possession receiver. I would like to see if we could another TE that could compliment Kraft, that could be Musgrave or again a decent draft prospect or reasonable veteran TE. We need to keep McManus, get rid of Stokes, keep Wyatt if you can do it for reasonable, same for TJ Slatton, we need more o-line players too. I might be wrong, but I don't think this team has as good of talent as we all thought and MLF needs to sharpen up on play calling and clock management plus situational football decisions. I thought he wasn't as sharp this year as he was last. Love needs to improve his mechanics, so he is throwing 30+ TDs and he needs to limit turning the ball over. I'm glad Gutenkust said we are in the "winning championships" mode no more "youngest team" excuses. At the same time you need to fill the holes on this team with guys that can play NFL football not just "high RAS" dudes only. I don't think anyone needs to point out we need to win at least home games against division rivals. I hope getting swept by our division is a good motivator for everyone otherwise we will keep being the 7th seed or not even make the playoffs. Hopefully, this was a sophomore slump for 2nd year players and next season, they play better. GPG 🧀
I wouldn't be mad if the Packers get HIggins or Keenan Allen. My biggest concern is that the vibe in the wide receiving is a bit awkward right now. Reed and Wicks severely underperformed. Doubs was okay. Watson was a ghost. Doubs clearly wanted to be WR1, but LaFleur's scheme really didn't allow for him to become that guy. My fear is that none of these guys will be kept after their contracts over. What does that say about Gutie???? I think the Packers need to focus on getting tough, drop-resistant wide receivers in the draft rather than lanky, fast, athletic guys. The Packers could use a couple of Ceedee Lamb or Mike Evan types, even if their overall talent is nowhere near these superstars. Doubs is the closest. I have the most confidence that he can become WR1, however, Love is a subpar QB and LaFleur seems allergic to calling good pass plays, but is a mastermind of run plays. I think the Packers should sign a cheap, vet-minimum free agent WR to provide depth and draft a tough-as-nails rookie WR in the 3rd round. If they take Higgins and leave everyone else, that might be fine, but I think we just need more depth variation and better QB play.
I’d rather have Tae back. Veteran and would give our guys time to develop more. Tee Higgins means we’re getting a good set number 1 for a while and that might make some of our other guys leave in FA and I’d rather develop them and keep them around while still adding a go to guy in Tae. I’d be fine with anyone/no one tbh, I think edge is more important right now
DJReed, first…them Dallman at Center and OT or WR. That is my priority list. A trade could bring a #1 or #2 or #3 to Green Bay. Davonte Adams might even be back. You could trade J. Alexander and restructure contract() and get up $80M in cap space. But I prefer to trade JA for draft capital like a #2.or a trade for R. Gary. WR while a priority they are not the biggest need. We need a pass rush Van Ness, Clark and Gary were a disappointment. Cornerback is a problem a perhaps free agency and draft is the right move. Tre Higgins is nice+but at what price and how reliable will he be due to injury.
I love tee Higgins he’s definitely that next level of talent Jamar chase or not and it will only help with Jayden reed and wicks getting open and help them as well having one more true guy defenses have to worry about opens everything else up then when Watson gets back healthy our offense would be scary
Packers have a number 1, and his name is Jayden Reed. They just need to stop using him in these ridiculous pre snap motions and incorporate him in the offense more. Also, try and trade up in the draft to get a guy like Emeka Egbuka.
I am iffy on DK but would still rather have him than T I just don't trust the guys (DKs) attitude sometimes - after watching him quit on routes when their playoff berth was on the line this year.
I'm for it. If they pay i n the 25-27million dollar range tops. Need to get a burner in the draft to help with Watson's absence. Could of had Love and Watson back in 2020. Maybe it's meant to be.
Higgins sounds good, better than what they have anyway. but I like DK metcalf better. Not a FA but can be had and maybe cheaper than Higgins. How to get him? I believe sending Christian Watson along with this years first round pick would be enough to pry him away. The Seahawks I am sure have thought of life after Geno or maybe want that to be sooner than later. But I do not think Seattle will be using its first round on a QB. So the packers first round pick may give the hawks what they need to get their guy. Also sending Watson not only a younger receiver but a scenery change maybe what Watson may need. he will join a young Jaxon smith-njigma who in my opinion is taking over as the number 1 guy in Seattle. WHY Metcalf? because he is something the packers have never had. his size/speed/toughness along with his giant catch radius are hard to deny and put that to use with Love. DK has not had a qb nearly like Love. He doesnt have much injuries and he's ready to be a leader and a good one for this group in GB
Tbh i would rather have Adams back..he already knows MLF playbook and etc. he will also he somewhat cheaper. He wants a ring more than money ..thats why we need him
Naw. I really don’t how to think of Tee. He was hurt a lot. And he did have a great QB and other around him. Let’s be honest he was motivated to prove himself bc the bengals kept stringing him a long to earn this very deal. We see it a lot, guys get paid and fall off. This happens for a lot of reasons of course. I’d rather pursue someone who is a bonified number 1 bc Watson isn’t coming back anytime soon.
Tee Higgins fits the mold perfectly and would bring a much-needed spark to the Green Bay Packers offense. Tee Higgins is exactly the type of free agent that Brian Gutekunst loves to target. Tee Higgins already boasts an incredible NFL resume, combining consistency with flashes of dominance. Over his 5-year NFL career, he’s got 900 yards, and 6 touchdowns in 4 NFL seasons. His best year came in 2021-22, when he caught 74 passes for 1,091 yards and 6 touchdowns, solidifying his place as one of the league’s premier complementary receivers. What makes Tee Higgins so appealing is his ability to seamlessly transition into a lead receiver role. Pairing Tee Higgins with Christian Watson and a dynamic rookie like Matthew Golden would instantly elevate the Green Bay Packers’ receiving corps. The biggest concern with Tee Higgins is his health. He’s missed 5 games in each of the past 2 seasons and he hasn’t been fully healthy since 2022. With that being said, the reward outweighs the risk. Green Bay’s receiving group stalled in this season, struggling to create separation and provide consistent production. Tee Higgins would immediately address those issues while giving Jordan Love a reliable, high-level target in both intermediate and deep passing situations. Signing Tee Higgins won’t come cheap in combination of age, production, and potential will make him one of the most sought-after free agents this offseason. But for a team to maximize their championship window while also securing a long-term solution at wide receiver, then he’s worth every penny. Tee Higgins represents both an intermediate upgrade and a building block for the Green Bay Packers future, which is a rare combination that should make him a top priority for Brian Gutekunst and this front office. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛
@@RaymondBrean-z4d tee Higgins is actually exactly the type of target Gutey hates to target. He said so in his presser he doesn’t believe in major money for a number 1 WR and that these teams typically don’t win titles. He also didn’t even want to pay Davante Adams in his prime 17 mil/year just 3 years ago. No shot he’s gonna go after Higgins for what would be a 30 mil/year 4-5 year deal.
If wicks is leading our team in targets and our average reciever is only getting about 70 targets per year it's safe to say were not going to have a 1000 yrd reciever on our team. Average reciever in nfl needs about 115 targets to have a 1000 yrd year.
I feel like with Watson out for most of next season we need to bring in someone else either veteran free agent like Higgins or draft a top guy in the draft this year I probably would rather go free agent in my opinion

Tee Higgins and Max Crosby with DJ Reed on the defensive side would be crazy
We need a solid WR1 vet in the room to set the standard for the young guys. I believe it will help elevate everyone's game in the WR room. I think it will also help Jordan Love elevate his game.
As Bas always says, the Salary Cap increases every year, so a 3 or 4 year deal at $23-24m per year could look like great value in a few years time.
Wicks really took a huge step back in 2024 after having what many thought was a bright outlook
They absolutely need a starting caliber veteran wr. That and a premier pass rusher would make them SB contenders. Not the easiest things to acquire but they have resources
Things to think about: Higgins has been hurt as much as Watson. And Reed has DOUBLE the production that Adams had his first two years.
But keep in mind, Adams was behind established WRs at the time, which has NOT been the case in GB the last two seasons. Adam's had far fewer snaps.
I'd love to see a potential FA video focusing on offense.

We have a wide receiver for everything you can ask from a receiver (route runner, deep threat, etc.) but we don’t have a guy that double all or multiple. Or WRs are all one dimensional. That’s the issue.
I bet they could still be schemed well enough to produce
@@Cheesehead_Fanatic14 except the deep threat is gone now, and the route running was shown to be more suspect when every single WR didn’t get better this past season. They need to all get better and they need a Watson replacement in addition to another player.
I didn't see anything this season that said we're set at wide receiver! I watched and the numbers bear out that we need better talent at the position. This was Not my view prior to the season but now that the season is over, the Packers could not beat man coverage which should be the easiest coverage to beat. Maybe it was Love not being on time and in rhythm but I rarely noticed receivers wide open while Love had time and didn't get them the ball
Probably should get an alpha pass rusher to make our defense take a step forward. We probably need a CB to either play across from Alexander or replace him if the Packers cut ties with him. I think we need more LBs to have rotation. We could draft a receiver that could have an immediate impact or we should try to grab a reasonable mid-level possession receiver.
I would like to see if we could another TE that could compliment Kraft, that could be Musgrave or again a decent draft prospect or reasonable veteran TE. We need to keep McManus, get rid of Stokes, keep Wyatt if you can do it for reasonable, same for TJ Slatton, we need more o-line players too.
I might be wrong, but I don't think this team has as good of talent as we all thought and MLF needs to sharpen up on play calling and clock management plus situational football decisions. I thought he wasn't as sharp this year as he was last. Love needs to improve his mechanics, so he is throwing 30+ TDs and he needs to limit turning the ball over. I'm glad Gutenkust said we are in the "winning championships" mode no more "youngest team" excuses. At the same time you need to fill the holes on this team with guys that can play NFL football not just "high RAS" dudes only.
I don't think anyone needs to point out we need to win at least home games against division rivals. I hope getting swept by our division is a good motivator for everyone otherwise we will keep being the 7th seed or not even make the playoffs.
Hopefully, this was a sophomore slump for 2nd year players and next season, they play better. GPG 🧀
I wouldn't be mad if the Packers get HIggins or Keenan Allen. My biggest concern is that the vibe in the wide receiving is a bit awkward right now. Reed and Wicks severely underperformed. Doubs was okay. Watson was a ghost. Doubs clearly wanted to be WR1, but LaFleur's scheme really didn't allow for him to become that guy. My fear is that none of these guys will be kept after their contracts over. What does that say about Gutie????
I think the Packers need to focus on getting tough, drop-resistant wide receivers in the draft rather than lanky, fast, athletic guys. The Packers could use a couple of Ceedee Lamb or Mike Evan types, even if their overall talent is nowhere near these superstars. Doubs is the closest. I have the most confidence that he can become WR1, however, Love is a subpar QB and LaFleur seems allergic to calling good pass plays, but is a mastermind of run plays.
I think the Packers should sign a cheap, vet-minimum free agent WR to provide depth and draft a tough-as-nails rookie WR in the 3rd round. If they take Higgins and leave everyone else, that might be fine, but I think we just need more depth variation and better QB play.
I would love to hear your choice. Which would be a bigger impact for the team, Higgins or Crosby?
I’d rather have Tae back. Veteran and would give our guys time to develop more. Tee Higgins means we’re getting a good set number 1 for a while and that might make some of our other guys leave in FA and I’d rather develop them and keep them around while still adding a go to guy in Tae. I’d be fine with anyone/no one tbh, I think edge is more important right now
DJReed, first…them Dallman at Center and OT or WR. That is my priority list. A trade could bring a #1 or #2 or #3 to Green Bay. Davonte Adams might even be back. You could trade J. Alexander and restructure contract() and get up $80M in cap space. But I prefer to trade JA for draft capital like a #2.or a trade for R. Gary. WR while a priority they are not the biggest need. We need a pass rush Van Ness, Clark and Gary were a disappointment. Cornerback is a problem a perhaps free agency and draft is the right move. Tre Higgins is nice+but at what price and how reliable will he be due to injury.
Hes gonna be a patriot
Yah sign Higgins and a 3 tech good to go!! Draft 4 CBS and hope you hit on one
I am not against giving Higgins ~4 year 100 million, but I do not expect him to leave Cincy.
I love tee Higgins he’s definitely that next level of talent Jamar chase or not and it will only help with Jayden reed and wicks getting open and help them as well having one more true guy defenses have to worry about opens everything else up then when Watson gets back healthy our offense would be scary
Packers have a number 1, and his name is Jayden Reed. They just need to stop using him in these ridiculous pre snap motions and incorporate him in the offense more. Also, try and trade up in the draft to get a guy like Emeka Egbuka.
Greenway just needs to grab another tall and speedy receiver
They need a solidified number 1 who has done it and Tee Higgins isnt proven as a number one he was behind Chase they need DK
I am iffy on DK but would still rather have him than T
I just don't trust the guys (DKs) attitude sometimes - after watching him quit on routes when their playoff berth was on the line this year.
@ in a better situation DK will have alot more inspiration
I’m hoping Wicks has a year 3 jump similarly to Adams 🤞🏼
I would be in favor of the pick up at those numbers provided that Higgins is not a prima donna and would fit the Packer culture.
I'm for it. If they pay i n the 25-27million dollar range tops. Need to get a burner in the draft to help with Watson's absence. Could of had Love and Watson back in 2020. Maybe it's meant to be.
Doubt j love will target one single reciever 100 plus targets. Look at how we play. I just want a reciever that consistently picks up 1rst downs.
Higgins sounds good, better than what they have anyway. but I like DK metcalf better. Not a FA but can be had and maybe cheaper than Higgins. How to get him? I believe sending Christian Watson along with this years first round pick would be enough to pry him away. The Seahawks I am sure have thought of life after Geno or maybe want that to be sooner than later. But I do not think Seattle will be using its first round on a QB. So the packers first round pick may give the hawks what they need to get their guy. Also sending Watson not only a younger receiver but a scenery change maybe what Watson may need. he will join a young Jaxon smith-njigma who in my opinion is taking over as the number 1 guy in Seattle.
WHY Metcalf? because he is something the packers have never had. his size/speed/toughness along with his giant catch radius are hard to deny and put that to use with Love. DK has not had a qb nearly like Love. He doesnt have much injuries and he's ready to be a leader and a good one for this group in GB
Tbh i would rather have Adams back..he already knows MLF playbook and etc. he will also he somewhat cheaper. He wants a ring more than money ..thats why we need him
We found out we don’t have a room full of “number 2s” we have a room full of 3,4,and5s
Tee Higgins. We need real good pedigree WRS
Naw. I really don’t how to think of Tee. He was hurt a lot. And he did have a great QB and other around him.
Let’s be honest he was motivated to prove himself bc the bengals kept stringing him a long to earn this very deal.
We see it a lot, guys get paid and fall off. This happens for a lot of reasons of course.
I’d rather pursue someone who is a bonified number 1 bc Watson isn’t coming back anytime soon.
Tee Higgins fits the mold perfectly and would bring a much-needed spark to the Green Bay Packers offense. Tee Higgins is exactly the type of free agent that Brian Gutekunst loves to target. Tee Higgins already boasts an incredible NFL resume, combining consistency with flashes of dominance. Over his 5-year NFL career, he’s got 900 yards, and 6 touchdowns in 4 NFL seasons. His best year came in 2021-22, when he caught 74 passes for 1,091 yards and 6 touchdowns, solidifying his place as one of the league’s premier complementary receivers. What makes Tee Higgins so appealing is his ability to seamlessly transition into a lead receiver role. Pairing Tee Higgins with Christian Watson and a dynamic rookie like Matthew Golden would instantly elevate the Green Bay Packers’ receiving corps. The biggest concern with Tee Higgins is his health. He’s missed 5 games in each of the past 2 seasons and he hasn’t been fully healthy since 2022. With that being said, the reward outweighs the risk. Green Bay’s receiving group stalled in this season, struggling to create separation and provide consistent production. Tee Higgins would immediately address those issues while giving Jordan Love a reliable, high-level target in both intermediate and deep passing situations. Signing Tee Higgins won’t come cheap in combination of age, production, and potential will make him one of the most sought-after free agents this offseason. But for a team to maximize their championship window while also securing a long-term solution at wide receiver, then he’s worth every penny. Tee Higgins represents both an intermediate upgrade and a building block for the Green Bay Packers future, which is a rare combination that should make him a top priority for Brian Gutekunst and this front office. Go Pack Go 💚💚💛💛
@@RaymondBrean-z4d tee Higgins is actually exactly the type of target Gutey hates to target. He said so in his presser he doesn’t believe in major money for a number 1 WR and that these teams typically don’t win titles. He also didn’t even want to pay Davante Adams in his prime 17 mil/year just 3 years ago. No shot he’s gonna go after Higgins for what would be a 30 mil/year 4-5 year deal.
Bas please drop a similar video whether Packers should trade for Maxx Crossby
If we get we should send him to the hamstring specialist that stokes and Watson went to
We need to draft at least 2 recivers because so far I dont see any receiver worth paying .
I feel that the Packers should give Malik Heath more snaps he has been catching the ball well not really any drops
I’d rather go in for DK Metcalf.
Elite speed, size and strength.
Perfect Watson replacement and the deep ball connection he’d have with Love 😮💨🔥
BAS could you make a video talking about a DK METCALF trade acquisition??
No rather have chase and improve the run defense and pass rush. bring back oline add depth and find Jacob's a 1+2 punch. (I know it's a lot)
If wicks is leading our team in targets and our average reciever is only getting about 70 targets per year it's safe to say were not going to have a 1000 yrd reciever on our team. Average reciever in nfl needs about 115 targets to have a 1000 yrd year.
They would if they caught the ball
Higgins would b great at say 3 years 60 mil. Front loaded maybe adda 4th year team option. But no, not 22, 23 annually
Built the O-line n Defense front.
We all know Gute aint signing no WR lmfao
They shouldn’t do it, they won’t do it, and gute basically straight out told us in his presser he wouldn’t do it.
I want a dominant DT a game wrecker 💯
I rather we go after Amari Cooper or DeAndre Hopkins and if we are going after a top player I rather it be at CB.
I like it but maybe we can get Godwin on a discount. Might be another option.
Ya they need a WR with speed…Tee Higgins doesnt really take the top off. Not sure if he the guy we need
They should've drafted Tee Higgins, I don't know about giving him huge money though.
I’m in favour of getting an older guy for cheaper and shorter like Diggs or Tae, someone that won’t destroy us when it’s time to pay reed and company
I feel like with Watson out for most of next season we need to bring in someone else either veteran free agent like Higgins or draft a top guy in the draft this year I probably would rather go free agent in my opinion
absolutely not. why we would pay top dollar for a WR whos just as injury prone as watson
I still think Bengals tag Higgins then trade Higgins for Jaire good trade for both teams
We need Jerry Rice
😂😂😂
And even when Watson comes back, is he going to have the same speed and impact? If so, it probably won't be in 2025...
It seemed like all the receivers took a step back this year. So disappointing. Kraft was the only bright spot. They need to utilize him better
