Aaron Rodgers Jimmy Graham Jersey , Packers ‘creeping along’ towards record-setting contract, per report The ongoing negotiations between Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers have garnered considerable attention this offseason, and that trend has held into the preseason. With less than an hour remaining before the Packers kick off its second exhibition game of the year, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Rodgers and the team continue to make progress towards a long-term deal.Rodgers and the Packers have engaged in contract talks for a significant portion of 2018 without an apparent breakthrough, though both sides have regularly expressed confidence that an agreement would eventually materialize. Schefter described the negotiations as “creeping along,” adding that “top-of-the-market deals [are] always hard” as they establish a new ceiling for the position and Rodgers will become the highest-paid player in league history.The Packers have two weeks before the start of the 2018 regular season, though they could continue to work with Rodgers on a new deal if they can’t reach an agreement prior to Week 1.Under Rodgers’ current contract, he will earn more than $21 million in combined salary and bonuses this season, according to Over the Cap. The two-time MVP currently ranks 10th in average salary at the position. He is the only one of the Packers’ four picks at 75 to do anything notable for the Green and Gold."The Green Bay Packers hold ten draft picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, and for a team that has a storied, 100-year history, they have predictably made selections in the past at every one of these draft slots. Over the next few days leading up to this year’s draft, Acme Packing Company will examine the Packers’ history at each current slot for 2019, as well as run down the names of recent picks around the league at the position.This year, the Packers’ third-round draft pick slots in at the 75th overall position. The Packers have picked 75th four times in the team’s history Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey , but only one made any significant contributions to the franchise. Two picks never played in the league, while the fourth player ended up as a multi-year starter for another franchise.Meanwhile, there have been a few notable picks by other NFL teams at 75 in recent years. One is a franchise left tackle, as the Saints nabbed Terron Armstead in 2013, but that came a year after Seattle drafted Wisconsin quarterback Russell Wilson at that pick.Packers History at #751954: Sam Marshall, OT1958: Doug Maison, RBNeither of the first two picks at 75 overall in team history ever played a game in the NFL. In the 1950s, the 75th pick came in the seventh round of the draft, so this should not come as a huge surprise.1990: Bobby Houston, LBThe first of the Packers’ picks at 75 who actually played a down in the NFL was Houston, from North Carolina State. However, he only played one game for the Packers as a rookie. He ended up with the Atlanta Falcons later that year, then left for the New York Jets as a Plan B free agent in the spring of 1991.Once with the Jets, Houston found his game. After playing 14 games as a backup in 1991, Houston became a starter in 1992 Marcedes Lewis Jersey , holding on to a job in the starting lineup for five seasons through 1996. He posted 14.5 sacks with the Jets, adding six forced fumbles and four interceptions. His career gradually faded out, playing for three teams over two final seasons.2006: Jason Spitz, OLFinally, the Packers landed a contributor at 75 in 2006, Ted Thompson’s second draft as general manager. Over five seasons, Spitz started at every position on the interior of the offensive line, but he lost his grip on a starting position after suffering an injury during the 2009 campaign.Spitz was the Packers’ key backup interior lineman on the 2010 Super Bowl XLV team — he suited up for every game that season, but did not start, as the team got full seasons from left guard Daryn Colledge, center Scott Wells, and right guard Josh Sitton.Recent History at #752018: Derrick Nnadi, DT, Florida State (Chiefs)2017: Duke Riley, LB Lance Kendricks Jersey , LSU (Falcons)2016: Shilique Calhoun, DE, Michigan State (Raiders)2015: Garrett Grayson, QB, Colorado State (Saints)2014: Tre Mason, RB, Auburn (Rams)2013: Terron Armstead, OT, Arkansas-Pine Bluff (Saints)2012: Russell Wilson, QB, Wisconsin (Seahawks)2011: John Moffitt, G, Wisconsin (Seahawks)
