GREEN BAY Brett Favre Color Rush Jersey , Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers reported a profit of just $724,000 in their latest fiscal year, which included their second straight season without a playoff appearance, a large contract extension for quarterback Aaron Rodgers and change in head coach from Mike McCarthy to Matt LaFleur.Green Bay’s profit in the year ending March 31 was down 97.9% from $34.1 million in the year ending March 2018 and more than 99% from the record $75 million in the previous fiscal year.“From a financial standpoint, it was a unique year for the Packers https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Paul-Hornung-Jersey ,” Packers President Mark Murphy said Friday.Expenses rose from $420.9 million to $477.2 million, boosted by Rodgers’ $134 million, four-year deal and the contracts for several free agents: outside linebackers Za’Darius Smith and Preston Smith, safety Adrian Amos and guard Billy Turner.“We were a little more aggressive than we’ve been in a number of years,” Murphy said.While overall revenue increased 5.1% to $477.9 million Bart Starr Jersey , local revenue improved by only 2.3%, hurt by consecutive losing seasons that impacted Pro Shop visits and tours of Lambeau Field and the Packers Hall of Fame.“If we can get back to the playoffs and get to the Super Bowl, that always helps,” Murphy said. “We have a policy regarding our season-ticket pricing. We want to be just below the league average. We don’t want everything to be on the backs of our season ticketholders.”The NFL’s collective bargaining agreement is set to expire after the 2020 season and the team has $397 million in its corporate reserve fund.“The plan was that we had enough money to cover expenses for a year. I think we’re in very good shape with that,” Murphy said. “We don’t have a rich Ray Nitschke Color Rush Jersey , deep-pocketed owner, so we have a $400 million corporate reserve. Three or four years ago, we put $50 million into the corporate reserve. It’s grown since then with investment returns and we’ve made significant investments in real estate around this area.” The team was unprepared. The coach got away from his game plan way too soon. And the long road trip brought about unexpected challenges from a focus standpoint.Those are the issues that plagued the Green Bay Packers last week that remain on the minds of Acme Packing Company’s contributors this week when making our picks for week ten. The Packers return home to face the Carolina Panthers, a team with one of the best running games in the NFL. In doing so, Matt LaFleur will try to get his team back to normal — assuming that their performance against the Chargers is not the new normal.Indeed https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Reggie-White-Jersey , APC’s contributors largely feel that the loss in Los Angeles was an aberration. The majority of our writers’ picks have the Packers winning this week as a home favorite.One factor working in their favor is a major quarterback advantage. Aaron Rodgers is, well, Aaron Rodgers. Kyle Allen is not, as he is instead a quarterback who is completing barely 60 percent of his passes this season and has thrown four interceptions in the past two games. If the Packers’ defense can get to Allen frequently — he has been sacked more than three times per game on average this season — that should give the green and gold a great chance to pull out a victory and improve to 8-2 before their bye.Week 10 PicksGameTexJasonPeterJon MKrisMatubPaulShawnWendiZachMikeCompositeGameTexJasonPeterJon MKrisMatubPaulShawnWendiZachMikeComposite
