The Packers will draft another running back. I think their first pick is either going on Brandon Graham or a speedy back.

If we're signing veterans or old eagles, I'd rather have Shawn Andrews.

If we sign Westbrook, I want Brandon Jackson traded. Ahman Green showed enough pop last year to be able to handle backup duty for Grant. If Westbrook is signed, I doubt we go after McCluster in the draft last year. As much as I despise the Purple, what they had going on with Harvin last year was something I covet.

My biggest problem is that there's a very realistic chance that he'll be injured just a couple of games into the season. He's been having problems with his legs, feet and all the concussions for quite a while now.

Second problem is that your 3rd spot on the team is taken by a veteran on his last legs. I'd rather see us getting a rookie to occupy that spot. You have a pretty decent hit chance when you draft a RB in a later round. Try to get a speedster to compliment Grant. Hope that Joe KcKnight drops to you, maybe move around the board a little.
Ted Thompson has proven me wrong before, though. If he does pass his physical and comes cheap, we might as well take a shot. At least it's better than having Ahman on the roster.

Lol.

Chester Taylor's fine by me. Westbrook hasn't been declining or anything, either. He's just way too injury prone.

Like I said, I don't care about their age, I care about their arc of decline. Westbrook wasn't declining physically. Maybe mentally. He'll walk around like Mohammed Ali in 5 years if he keeps this up.

Rock.. just messy with ya.. I agree.. injury prone is correct.. but with limited touches a game.. he could make a difference.

Plan B if we don't pick up a scat back type in the draft.

If I was running the show, well I would pass.

I a not a huge fan of Grant so I want the Packers to draft a young gun like Best from Cal or Mathews from Fresno St.

Fan Shout

Zero2Cool (3h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (11h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (11h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (11h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (11h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (12h) : Who? What?

beast (21h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 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
