"By all accounts, Gaither played like a quality starting left tackle last year. That's why it's surprising Baltimore seems so open to moving him."

I would be all for this, too bad the packers do not posses a high 2nd. Trade back and snag an extra pick + Gaither? I would be very happy with that.

Me too. Plus the dude's only 24. I wouldn't put it past Ted Thompson to surprise everyone with a move here. Ha ha, sorry about the link.

Honestly, i would mind seeing a move here with the #23 pick for Gaither either, proven starting quality Left Tackles do not grow on trees, he's a young guy so he should have some potential as well. Tho i do seem to remember CMIII making him look like a turnstyle.

Ozzie Newsome is one of the best GMs in the league.

The Ravens drafted Oher to man the LT spot while they already had Gaither.

Apparently, no one has contacted the Ravens about getting him for less than a 1st.

You have to think that there's something wrong. His play was worth a late 1st. He wasn't exactly great, but he's pretty good. There must be something going on.

I would like if Ted Thompson gave our 23rd in exchange for Gaither.

This is a placeholder

I was thinking the same thing, Having two good young tackles is a goldmine found in the trenches...

Maybe they have seen something in his play that leads Baltimore to believe that he can be figured out and beat?

Character issues?

Smells like crab?

Gotta be the crab, can't figure this one out at all. Even if we take a LT at 23, chances are he wont start this year and it's anyones guess if he will workout in the future. Atleast with Gaither you know what your getting with a guy thats been out there at this level and preformed.
Best case scenario i'd like to see us trade back into a top 10 second round pick and a third. Trade the best 2nd for gaither, then we have our LT spot solved, and 3 day 1 picks for the BPA at OLB S and DB.

Anyone think he could be asking rediculous money for his next contract or something?

We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.

May 2009 article

Gaither appears to be preparing on the business side to have a strong season as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. He recently hired Drew Rosenhaus as his agent and could be looking for a long-term deal.

PFF offensive tackle rankings have him as the 3rd/4th (debatable) best left tackle in the NFL for the 2009 season. (as an example) link

Ya think Drew noticed?

+ I don't think they like Drew in Baltimore <- link has more than that-read it!

I talked to [Gaithers agent] Drew Rosenhaus and he tells me hes getting Jared in shape. The last time I checked Drew Rosenhaus doesnt coach the offensive line in the National Football League.

He is at Baltimore's off-season workouts, btw

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Flunked out of MD after attending prep school to get in. (something like that)

Huge--- ZBS?

?Work ethic? Questioned a lot about that.

Ran out of gas at his (pro day?) Also low reps in bench, like 11,12,13---I forget the exact number-- way back when, plus a 5th rd supplemental (GM's pride?)

Read tweets...seems dumber than dirt, imo..but I'm an asshole that way.

(Still want him for a 2nd, lol)

Very solid in 2008 also.

I echo that sediment Foster... it is about Benjamin's at this point.

Even with the CBA debate.. it doesn't change that teams have x amount of dollars for a budget.. and with financial drains like Rice, Flacco, Boldin, Suggs, Lewis, and Reed on the roster.. something has to give.. with Oher on the roster, not to mention 2 more established tackles and a bunch of combo guards.. it allows them some flexibility in this regard.

BTW... Foster.. welcome back.. 😉

wpr (7h) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
