Not only are Nick Perry and Datone Jones important and talented players for the Packers defense but both players need to secure their futures in the league, whether it’s with the Packers or not. Perry had a 5th year team option on his rookie deal that was not picked up. Jones is playing for that option this year. It will be interesting to see how much of the Packers future these two players contribute to.

Lots of Dline guys with contracts looming. Coincidence?


It's difficult some times to quantify the effect injuries have on a career.  Is a player a bust?  Is that player just hurt a lot?  Is that player not playing well because he's playing hurt?  Is that player just not good?  If this player ever got healthy and was allowed to develop, will he be

What ticks me off is how it always seems that players suddenly become "pro bowlers" in contract years.

In the case of Perry and Jones, and Neal too, I think it's partly health but mostly the coaching staff finally maximizing use of them. People in this forum and otherwise have been saying from the beginning with Nick Perry, he is a more natural DE, just without the size - a tweener. Now, he's getting used that way - a down lineman in passing situations with another faster pass rusher outside him at OLB. Jones didn't do very well as a DE even in passing situations, but he has contributed in passing situations as a nose or interior rusher in the D Line.

Both would be better in a 4-3, and I think when they are up for new contracts, some 4-3 team will offer them more than the Packers care to pay. Even though they have played better this season, players doing what they do just are not that hard to find. Are they busts as first rounders? I'd say yes.

Mike Daniels is their priority. These other two guys are role players and haven't earned the big payday. Offer them fair contracts for their body of work as Packers and if they scoff - move on. Mike Daniels on the other hand is a special player. Man has a heart and self-motivated. Turns out he's talented too.

The only thing players like Datone Jones, Nick Perry and Mike Neal have in common is they play well when on the field but their health is the issue.

The coincidence is obvious for all of us watching the games and it is that those boys are healthy for a change.

B.J. Raji is back at his comfortable position AND the fact that interest was little to nothing was a huge eye opener to him. He took success for granted.

Kaepernick was 13-25 with 160 yards passing for the day. 40 of those yards came on the Patton shovel pass that was more like an end around and on the 47 yarder to Torrey Smith that was a well thrown ball.

The rest of the day? 73 yards on 11-23 attempts. That's not bad for a D coming off a short week traveling to the west coast.

So they test the market. Either some team overpays or we get to keep our guy. Either way, we win.

Zero2Cool (16h) : Haha
Mucky Tundra (17h) : No time for talking! Back to work beast!
beast (18h) : You saw only 4,201 of my mocks? 🥺 I think that means you missed more than half of them 😢
dfosterf (21h) : Does anyone know what Lambeau field improvements got put on hold? My guess would be for the 2025 draft
Zero2Cool (23h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (23h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.
Zero2Cool (23h) : They're fun to do once in awhile. It's people who think they are "content" that annoy me.
dfosterf (23h) : Against tbd
dfosterf (23h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (23h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (23h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (27-Mar) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪
Zero2Cool (27-Mar) : Did we do one of those prediction threads yet for 2024 season?
dfosterf (27-Mar) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker
dfosterf (26-Mar) : Lengthy explanation at PFF if you click the link

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Gutekunst said early stages of Jordan Love contract being discussed.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
