Beat writer thought he would be a high level tender. He is a mid.

We would lose our first round pick.

Latest mock that I follow has all 6 top-tier OT's gone by the 20th pick in this draft. Major fall-off after that. Cliffy is the top UFA LT.

Gaither is said to have a 'tude at times. He is also one of the top LT's in the game, and young.

Why is Balt exposing him?

Michael Oher. The 23rd pick in last year's draft.

PFF- tackles
for quick reference

I say they have to look real hard at doing this. I would feel quite a bit of relief if they did so.

I'd do it. Like you said, he's young, and he's better than anyone we're likely to get at 23...

You and that damn PFF... lol.

Would I be opposed to calling the Ravens and swinging a deal for Gaither.. no I wouldn't.

Personally I think the Ravens are merely establishing the market price for Gaither, but I would not mind being wrong.

One of the possible motivations for tendering him as a "one only" is the wide-held belief that they would like Brandon Marshall.

NFP- Time for the tender game

They get our 1st and use it to get Marshall, retaining their existing first.

Works for me, but I still say they are just setting the market, plus there are a LOT of teams that are going to find this option attractive when they start doing the math.

Agreed... alot of these tenders are merely a starting point in an asking price if they were to move these guys.

Without the cap this year, I am expecting a few more trades than the past couple of years..

Not if you're the Vikings and just put a poison pill in.

I wouldn't mind him coming here, either. He struggled at times and there's a reason that they took Oher over him, but he's better than what we have right now.

And better than what we can most likely get (asuming Brown will be off the board).

This idea floating around about collusion on the lack of a poison pill is absurd.. why haven't clubs used it more?

Because it will come back and bite them in the ass.. is why.. not to mention the NFL league offices frowned on it when it happened.

Personally I wouldn't like it if he used a poison pill... because sooner or later it is going to come back upon you.

Well, if I can get a Steven Hutchinson and lose a Nate Burleson, I'm all for it. Lol.

That said, I agree, I don't like the use of stuff like that.

So Mid level tender = 1st round pick?

That sounds off... since 1st round is a high pick...

If he's the best we can get and he's not gonna have a problems then why not?

beast (5h) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing 😏

Zero2Cool (9h) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.

Zero2Cool (9h) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Zero2Cool (9h) : You saw me Tweet???

beast (9h) : Supposedly Steelers will be trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys for a 3rd and late round pick swap

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : February 5, 2002 (age 23) ok no. packers.com is wrong

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Micah Robinson is only 19??

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : 6 first rounders on Packers defense now

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : LB Isaiah Simmons. Signed. Called it!!! Oh yeah!

Martha Careful (29-Apr) : ty bboystyle...fat fingers

bboystyle (29-Apr) : Tom*

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (27-Apr) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)
