Nick Collins is built like a bulletproof tiger. He should probably get in there to talk to his new position coaches, but in terms of the "workout" portion... eh, he's probably last on my list of players who need to get more durable and strong.

Remember when he slid into the wall really fast in an intrasquad scrimmage a few years ago? I thought for sure it was at the very least torn ligaments or SOMETHING. He ended up being fine.

I doubt it is as much about money as it is about years... but like bozz said lets wait and hear what Nick says.

Never tip your hat to a dude that has one good season in GB. He is still under contract, see how he does this year and then pay him. If he is a no show, play the next guy in line. This BS is getting old, especially with the defense we had put on the field last year.

The signing of smith is only going to hurt his leverage in the long run. Im excited to see this guy play, he terrifies wr's as much as atari.
We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.

How about this, trade the all-pro Collins and get a first rounder out of it. I bet we would be lucky to get a second for Collins, but per him he is an "All Pro" This dude will be playing in a new defense and had one good season. Son, prove yourself before asking for the world.

are their reports that he's asking for a kings ransom? All I thought is he was upset that their aren't any on going talks about his contract ::Shrugs::

I mean It's not like Ted is super busy signing or attempting to re-sign anyone right now, i mean has anyone heard anything on the Jennings front either? Its one thing that Ted hasn't signed any top line Free Agents, but its a whole nother monster when he isn't getting at least some bases covered with three of our top performers from last year.

He needs to really get in contact with Collins, Jennings, and even Williams, try and work something out, because we really can't afford (at least in Collins and Jennings' cases) to have these guys behind come seasons start.

Lets go Ted Thompson Get your rear in gear and keep these guys as packers! At the very least show them you want them to remain here!

Exactly what I was gonna say. I haven't read anywhere that he is asking for a ton of money or as one person wrote "asking for the world." He wants some progress on a deal, which is not happening.

Besides, he hasn't skipped out on anything important. He is missing some voluntary workouts, waiting for his pregnant wife to have a baby.

What progress does this cat need?? Is he under contract, then shut up and play or trade him. Doesn't matter if it is king's ransom or not, this team does not need this "I am great for one year" BS!!

Unfortunately, thats what we see WAY too often. A player has ONE decent season, and thinks he's "the bomb". Of course, also unfortunately, there are WAY too many GM's out there that will pay the outrages money for the "one year wonders" that we see.
That just gives every player just one more bargening chip to play to get what they want.

The thing is, he's had more than one good season. He's had one Pro Bowl season, and his other seasons, he's proved he can hit hard, make tackles, play the run well.

Technically, he's had 2 good seasons. '06 was a pretty good season for Collins as well.

Fan Shout
Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.
beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : I really don't know lol. I don't see him getting blown up.
Zero2Cool (9-May) : -3 buwahhhahaaha
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th
Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st
Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm
Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."
beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less
beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.
Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though
TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes
Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face
Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
