I still chuckle when I think how bitterly were attacked the few souls among us (I won't name names) who had the courage to advocate that the Packers trade Kampman last year. I still don't understand why we didn't try to exploit the obvious opportunity that presented itself.

While we all discuss these various personnel decisions, I just want to remind everyone that this franchise has not thrown up a "red number" in over a decade, and we came damn close to doing so for the 2008 year.

That introduces a huge variable that we as fans simply cannot know an answer to. Murphy and Ted can SAY that football decisions are not encumbered by financial considerations until the cows come home...I would expect them to say precisely that.

My guess---and it is a guess---- is that our stock losses did not recover sufficiently to make up for the increased payroll costs for the 2009 year, which were substantial. The ticket price increase is chump change when it comes to paying for salary escalations, and I don't see how our real estate holdings could have increased to make much of a dent either.

I think we are dipping into the franchise preservation fund in order to get the deals done as it stands. This is something the FO has been averse to doing.

Don't underestimate this as a factor, public pronouncements notwithstanding.

This is the year of revenues, not salary caps, and for the Pack, the looming 2011 situation is probably coming just in the nick of time, player-salary-wise, if things go the owner's way, imo.

Philosophically, I'm with just about every fan. "Just pay the man", is what my heart wants the refrain to be. My head says the reality is a hell of a lot more complicated. Call it rain on the parade.

Another point to bear in mind is that because the Packers have not tagged Kampman, they cannot trade him.

I would hate to see Kampman in Chicago, he is one of my favorite Packers and him being in Chicago would be devastating. I realize he isn't as good as he was in the past but still I would hate him in Chicago.

Like it or not, Kampy is a Packer favorite.

I know you don't get attached to players, but some of us do. I'd be really bummed if Driver got traded.

The only guy right now I view as untradeable is Rodgers. Everyone else is fair game. If it improves our team, I'm on board with it.

And the only reason why Rodgers is untradeable is because there's no one in the league we could bring who would significantly upgrade our team. Not Brady, not Manning, not even Brees. There are plenty of receivers in the league, for example, who would represent an upgrade over Driver, at least in terms of overall production. There aren't many receivers who will fight tenaciously for that extra yard without losing the football the way Driver does.

But if a trade would improve our chances of bringing the Lombardi Trophy home, I'd be on board with it in a heartbeat.

Whereas Kampman is going to walk and we're getting nothing out of it.

Agreed, and if we do get in a bidding war to keep a popular player who is playing as a square peg in a round hole, then I will criticize management on that one. I am sure we will realize a compenatory pick next year for losing Kampmann.

I believe I read somewhere that because we didn't tag him, we won't receive a compensatory pick, but I could be wrong.
