I'm sure there are a lot of unemployed players out there that would love to play for the Packers. Lots of employed players too. Who wouldn't want to play for such a great organization, led by Ted Thompson!

Too short. Too old. Too slow.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I was thinking maybe as a fill in coach, after all he did play with some of the best defenses in Baltimore and New York. He could teach our young guys some stuff about the 3-4 defense. It would have to be cheap though

I've never been a huge Jim Leonard fan but he's a vet that's carved out a decent career for himself despite some physical limitations. Not a bad type to have on your bench but I don't see him getting playing time over Hyde or Haha so it's almost not really worth the bother. If Richardson keeps showing promise in pre-season like he did in OTAs I would rather go with him. I'm not for the move but if it happens it won't really bother me, I see the benefit and he was certainly better than anything we put out there last year.

Seems he is always looking ahead and trying to cover any circumstance that could develope.

I put Leaonard in the group with Pickett, and Jolly(if cleared), veteran guys who, in a pinch, could come in in an emergency and at worst be a stop gap.

No harm in Ted making contact with Leonard and letting him know there's interest if there is a need.

I think the Packers have enough former Badgers. This guy has bounced around the last several years for a reason.

I really want to play for the Packers too, but I kind of lack the atheltism and talent to be considered. Who wants to write an article about my desire???

dfosterf (8-Apr) : Collectively, we need to spend more time in what we have, when analyzing ostendible needs and historical proclivities

dfosterf (8-Apr) : I say he is better than so many of these draft picks

dfosterf (8-Apr) : Question of the week for me: Has anyone besides me done any deep dive into the potential of Alex McGough, our 3rd string qb?

Mucky Tundra (3-Apr) : Diggs, Collins, Dell and Schultz is gonna be tough to cover

Zero2Cool (3-Apr) : Stefon Diggs' trade will not be processed as a post-June 1 designation, so that is just over $31 million in dead cap this year.

Zero2Cool (3-Apr) : Bills trading WR Stefon Diggs to the Texans in exchange for a 2025 2nd-round pick. (via @rapsheet)

beast (3-Apr) : Using Patterson as RB and RB/WR tweener... so I think they also signed Patterson as a 3rd down RB, not just a kick returner as articles are

beast (3-Apr) : I think PFT missed the real Steelers/Patterson connection, Steelers new OC Arthur Smith has been Patterson's head coach the last 3 years

wpr (2-Apr) : It has Martha. I was stunned when I was in HS to learn Iowa was still playing half court BB in the 70's.
