Not anytime soon but in future if he does leave, would you welcome Plaxico Burress to the Packers? I mean 2 years or even 3 years down the road or you want TEDDY to build through THE DRAFT. And wow what a bust is HARRELL good waste of the 16th round.

No to Plaxico.

In 2 or 3 years when he would be able to play again, he would be 34 or 35 and hopefully then we have a 4th, 5th and 6th year WR corp with Jennings, Jones and Nelson.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

First of all, don't even mention Donald leaving. Secondly, not to Plaxico.

I wouldn't give a second glance to Plaxico. We have a deep well of wide receiver talent that's going to get cut this year, simply because we don't have enough roster slots to go around. With all these young players hungry for a chance at stardom, why would we look at a retread who will be almost 3 years removed from the game?

I don't think there's a player alive on whom I would want to risk a roster spot after 2 years of incarceration. I have a significant amount of catching up to do when I take a mere 2 weeks off my workout regimen. I can't imagine how far a couple of years in the clink would set behind a professional player. More power to the Eagles for giving it a shot, but I don't see it paying off any significant dividends.

No way. We've had enough drama with Favre, still glad we didn't get Moss, and don't want to see Plaxico on our team, ever.

Out of curiosity, what prompted this idea?

Wow people have already put what I wanted to say... but put it better than I was thinking.

First of all, don't even mention Donald leaving.

Also as far as Harrell no one knew he would injury his back with the Packers...

The way we bring up young WR talent, i don't see why we would need to think about Plax. I have no problems with him getting a second chance somewhere, just don't see room for him here. But that's a couple seasons down the road, so worry about that then if we have to.

Plax is one player along with TO i wouldn't want on the Packers. Plax is another mild version of TO, incase people forget he was a player with a bad attitude in Pittsburgh and they were winning and then he goes to the Giants and really never put up huge numbers.

So a huge no to Plax.

As far as Bustin goes we all knew the injuries would happen, hell he always been injury prone and was injured when we drafted him.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

lulz. in 2 or 3 years Plax will be as old as Driver is now. what's the point? i'd rather just keep Driver until he feels he can't perform. dude looks as great as ever right now.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Well, where do I START. First off there's no guarantee that PLAXICO will be able to keep in FOOTBALL shape when he's in jail for 20 MONTHS. He is ALREADY 32 years OLD which will PUT him at 34 YEARS old when he returns. I say pass on the PLAX.

PS -- why are random words capitalized? I'm not usually a grammar Nazi, but that's just annoying -- as is some people's need to include some sort of jab at "TEDDY" every time they talk about the Packers.

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.

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
