We should have a pretty good idea of what to expect next year in less than two weeks, right?
Seems that way.

Spoff, how about them Badgers? Picked to finish near dead last in the conference and end up winning at least a share. They must be the most gritty team I've witnessed in a while.
They are the definition of grit on the basketball court. It's been so much fun following this Badgers team, and hopefully it's not done achieving great things.

Is Dr. Sam Vainisi related to Jack Vainisi?
Yes, Sam is Jack's younger brother. I had the pleasure of interviewing him more than a decade ago and wrote this story for packers.com.

Based on the press coverage of the scouting combine you would think that all of the GMs make out their draft boards based primarily on the performance of the players at the combine. In reality how much is based on the combine, how much is based on interviews of the players, and how much is based on tape of actual games?
There are more than three pieces to the puzzle, but of those three you mention, game tape accounts for way more than the other two combined (no pun intended).

The Packers are clearly trying to keep the championship window open, but I'm wondering if the restructured contracts tell us anything about how long they think they can keep it open. Is it looking like they're focusing primarily on 2022-2023 and will worry about future years next offseason, or does it look like the moves they're making will keep the window open for 2-3 more years?
The window is open for as long as the four-time MVP quarterback is taking the snaps and playing like he has. That's how the Packers view it, as they should.

Joe from Liberty Township, OH (and the response from Wes) beautifully summarized how I have been feeling about the Rodgers situation. Folks seem too eager (whether willingly or absentmindedly) to discount just how hard it will be to sustain the level of success the Packers have had over the past three decades once we no longer have a HOF QB under center. Just wanted to thank you both because calm, patience, and logical reasoning are in short supply these days.
It's been a long time since the Packers (and their fans) truly understood how the other half of the NFL lives, so to speak. Favre never missed a game, and Rodgers' extended absences in '13 and '17 should have given enough of a taste (5-12-1, counting the games he exited early with the broken collarbones), but some folks are short on those memories as well.

It seems to me that the Packers' position with respect to the salary cap in future years should be considered on both an absolute and relative basis. While the expected dramatic increase in the cap will likely allow the team to get under the cap in those years, it may be right up against the cap while other teams find themselves with a fair amount of room under it, thereby putting the Packers at a potential disadvantage relative to others.
Correct, and the Packers are willing to saddle themselves with that future disadvantage in order to try to maximize on the advantage they currently possess in the chase for a championship.

What is the plan at WR? Even if Davante Adams comes back, the only other WR under contract is Randall Cobb, correct? But between his injuries and contract, he seems like a logical cut candidate. Not going to be a whole lot of cap money floating around for free agents, and rookie WRs typically don't have an impact. This seems like an area of grave concern, does it not?
I fully expect the Packers to keep Allen Lazard with an appropriate RFA tender. If Rodgers returns, maybe Cobb sticks around at a lower salary. I think the Packers would like to bring back Marquez Valdes-Scantling, but that's one of many questions heading into free agency right now. Amari Rodgers will be in Year 2, and even if he didn't shine in his rookie season, no one's giving up on him. So overall, plenty of uncertainty but it's still early. I wouldn't categorize the situation as grave by any means.
