According to Packers boss man Mark Murphy at the shareholders meeting, while it is not set in stone just yet, Green Bay could be the host of the 2025 or 2027 NFL Draft. 2026 is out of the question due to Notre Dame and Wisconsin playing at Lambeau that year.
Murphy was quoted on the subject at a press conference:
I feel confident in either ’25 or ’27 we will. We’ll be given strong consideration. We’ve been close on other ones, too.
They really like the history and tradition of Lambeau Field and Titletown. The number of hotels in Green Bay, that’s the issue. It’s become a big enough event. We’ve included all the way down to Milwaukee that people would be staying.
According to Green Bay Press Gazette, 8,642 shareholders were in attendance for the meeting. This comes after the team added over 177,000 new shareholders earlier this year in a new stock sale which netted the team $55.3 million.

Good for the Packers and good for Mark Murphy who has worked tirelessly on improving the facilities in and around Lambeau field and in the community. Because we as fans focus on the football side of things we forget that this a franchise worth hundreds of millions of dollars. And without an owner with deep pockets must find multiple revenue streams to keep the Packers financially competitive. This would provide an economic boom not just for the Packers but also the state and community it serves.
The shareholders meeting…or as Leroy Butler calls it…
.
The State of The Union address. (Yea…i laughed at that also).
.
Well…Mark Murphy once again reminded me why i never liked him.
I might have to tell you about it sometime.
Hint….Shareholders meeting.
******************
The stock sale some months ago netted the Packers some 64 million dollars.
.
Its been said the 10 year old video board will be replaced, and money will be spent outside the surrounding area of Lambeau field. Hmmmm……
.
I’m not sure what that means exactly. The Packer amusement park and restaurants probably took a pretty big hit
in revenue during Covid, not unlike any other business.
OR…maybe the money will be going back into the reserve fund that the Packers used to buy and develop all that land.
So nobody asks any questions about where that money was spent and why it has gotten a return on investment.
.
Bill Michaels was talking about the the extensions of Gute, Ball, and LaFleur.
Then he mentioned how McCarthy got “severance pay” when he got fired.
I’m not so sure that Mr. Michael has a clear understanding what severance pay is.
.
McCarthy got a full year’s salary which was guaranteed, it wasn’t done as goodwill to help out an ex employee.
The PAckers were obligated to pay him his salary.
.
Some of us may remember learning about McCarhty’s secret 1 year contract Murphy gave him months before he fired him.
We learned about that secret deal after he was fired.
(Another hint from the first paragraph).

Just for grins…..does anyone have an idea why Jordan Love will most likely get dealt to another team before his final year of his contract is up?
Why is it so G D hard to have a post show up after it’s sent.
.
What’s it been, 2 years like that now?
Gutekunst, Ball, and LaFleur will get contract extensions because they’ve earned them. Whatever financial compensation McCarthy received he deserved. Big Mike is only one of three HC’s to win a SB in GB and has had a successful run in Dallas so far. No one questions where the money goes because everyone but you knows the so-called “stock shares” are worthless. Your “stock share” gets you tickets to the annual shareholders meeting where the team’s finances are made public and that’s about it. In reality, fans gift the team money. As for Jordan Love, this preseason will be huge for him. The Packers have 12.3 million and two years invested in him. They’ll give him every opportunity to succeed before they even consider trading him.
” No one questions where the money goes because everyone but you knows the so-called “stock shares” are worthless.”
.
Yep…because all this time i thought the stocks increased in value and paid dividends.
SO SMART!!
THANK YOU TOM!!
I never stop learning in here.
.
GD damn it you are a moron…lol
You ever just sit and wonder why life shuns you?
🙄
“As for Jordan Love, this preseason will be huge for him. The Packers have 12.3 million and two years invested in him. They’ll give him every opportunity to succeed before they even consider trading him.”
.
HUGE!!….lol….You really are clueless.
What little detail are you missing sweetheart?
.
The ONLY benefit of Love having a good pre-season, is the Packers maybe getting a 3rd round pick instead of a 4th or 5th round pick.
But then again, Hundley was once upon a time a “Pre-season” MVP and all the rage of some Packer fans with his passer rating of 129.
That got him what?
.
Hundley is joining his 5th team in 7 years and he’s completed 5 passes in the last 4 seasons.
He’s a nobody.

Ok…now read it and try again……

Just for grins…..does anyone have an idea why Jordan Love will most likely get dealt to another team before his final year of his contract is up?
.
If it’s too confusing, let me know and i’ll walk you through it.
No one has a hard on to trade Jordan Love quite like all you Aaron Rodgers lovers, Kevin. What are you afraid of? There is no guarantee Rodgers plays three more years. There’s no guarantee Rodgers makes it thru this season healthy. At 38, Big Ben missed most the season with an elbow injury. While Drew Brees missed games with broken ribs. Old QB’s are fragile. So who’s your back up QB if you trade Love? Danny Etling? Please! He’s Kurt Benkert 2.0, which means he’s no option at all. Let camp play itself out and see what we have before you go off half cocked about trading anyone.
“There’s no guarantee Rodgers makes it thru this season healthy.”
.
Good point Tom, maybe that’s why i wrote….
“does anyone have an idea why Jordan Love will [most likely] get dealt to another team.
.
Hint: It has nothing to do with Big Ben, Bree’s, Rodgers, Etling, Benkert, or the Easter Bunny.
.
Ok, now…try it again.
Please….Try to do better.
It’s fairly simple.
.
Just for grins…..does anyone have an idea why Jordan Love will most likely get dealt to another team before his final year of his contract is up?

If you still don’t “get it”, just say…PF4L, can you please just tell me.
Maybe Jordan Love will be traded because he doesn’t make team captain! Oh, the outrage of it all! You Kevin, and your Aaron Rodgers fan boys want this team totally reliant on Aaron Rodgers and no one else. You don’t want a young talented backup QB because that’s a threat so you talk trade. You don’t want a championship caliber defense because then it’s not all about little Erin and his pretty stats. You don’t want a capable, competent GM to build a solid team because that takes away from Erin. Your Aaron Rodgers fans not Packer fans. You can be both but you constantly think you have to choose. Jordan Love was drafted with first round talent but a known project. His first four years of his 12.3 million dollar contract guaranteed for that very reason. The organization told Love: your not going to play much, work on your craft and we’ll see what we have in three or four years then make a decision. And to show their good faith, management guaranteed the first four years of his contract the first time that’s ever happened in for the 26th pick in the first round. So it makes no sense to even speculate on trading him right now. But of course, YOUR talking about it.
How many nights do you stay awake at night figuring out “what we want, or don’t want?….lol
So entertaining 😏
Lets see….You know me (us) so well…lets take a look at how your mind works..
.
1) “You Kevin, and your Aaron Rodgers fan boys want this team totally reliant on Aaron Rodgers…”
1) “You don’t want a young talented backup QB…blah blah blah”
2) “You don’t want a championship caliber defense…blah blah blah”
3) “You don’t want a capable, competent GM…….blah blah blah”
.
I see you also know what the team told Love…..Were you there in the room with them ? (Just curious)
1) “The organization told Love: your not going to play much, work on your…….”
So smart 🙄
.
Ok…enough of your silliness……back to my question you are ignoring on purpose (as usual)
.
The Packers have to make a decision after this season (Loves 3rd season) to give, or not to give Love his 5th year option.
If they give Love his 5th year option, that means that the Packers will have over a 20 million dollar cap hit on Love.
That amount is guaranteed, and all will count against the 2024 cap.
Seems harmless enough…right scooter?
Until you factor in that Rodgers cap hit in 2024 is over 40 million…hmmmm…right?
Did a light come on yet?
.
So yes…this pre-season is HUGE for Love and the Packers….like i said…[most likely] traded for a 3rd or 4th round pick, or a 6th round pick….ohhhh the anticipation, amirite?
***************
Whoaaa!!!!….wait a second!!
It just dawned on me, you told all of us that Loves 5th year option was already guaranteed to Love by the Packers, after he got drafted.
Remember that Tom?
So i guess the Packers don’t have that decision to make after all….lol
.
Well Tommi….since you’re so smart and you know everything.
.
NEVERMIND, you D. F. M.
Testing
I am frowning at your avatar choice
Hmmm….
.
Funny only because i’m frowning each time i post and it doesn’t show up as posted until hours or a day later…on your website.
But we’re getting used to it as it’s been a problem glitch on your site you haven’t addressed for about 2 years.
.
I’m also frowning when i take time and thought to comment, then i go to post, and it doesn’t take, and it was all for nothing.
.
Not to mention frowning, when it takes 10 days, or sometimes even weeks, for a new article to appear on this site.
.
I’m guessing you’ve figured out how that could be frustrating to users in here?
I have all the confidence in the world that you are aware of all postings problems and you are diligently hard at work each day correcting these issues.
.
Did i get that right?
.
**********
But sure J.P……i’ll apologize for posting that avatar, shame on me!!
The last thing i want is to make you frown.
I should know better than to put up a picture of a delicious piece of ass….i’m sorry again.
.
If i had a picture of Tom M, i could use that as my avatar.
What that be more to your liking?
.
But i digress…deepest apologies, i didn’t mean to offend anyone.
Let and let live…no judgements.
It seems PF4L can’t post without mentioning my name. I’m flattered but I’m just not into dudes, Kevin. You best stick with Erin. He’s the love of your life. You’d be wise not to piss Jason off. No one says he’s got to let you post your shit. Every time you do, you dumb down the site. You and the girls can always go over to Reddit and start an “I Love Erin” thread. Chalked full of stats and photos. How exciting!
Dumb down the site, how….?
.
By referencing the sexuality of other readers Mothers and sisters like a juvenile?
.
Or, telling us that Mark Murphy was an NFLPA attorney while playing in the NFL?
.
Or, telling us how Gute guaranteed Love’s 5th year option after drafting him, even before he got to Green Bay?
.
Is that the dumbing down you are referring to?
*****************
And as far as JP and his website go…
.
I spoke the truth Scooter, i’ll dare to take my chances….lol
Unlike yourself, i don’t live and die on here.
I’m fairly comfortable….rolling the dice.
If i got banned Princess…oh well….
It was a good run, and i’ve talked to some awesome Packer fans. mostly under Monty.
That’s just being honest.
.
If JP had 1/2 a clue, he would have ended you after you brought up readers Mothers and sisters, and their sexual prowess, multiple times
If that wasn’t a flag on your character…i don’t know what is.
