From Greg Bedard's Twitter

Packers DE Johnny Jolly is suspended by the NFL indefinitely. Will miss at least the 2010 season.

And the rapist Big Ben gets what 6-8 games? Where's the justice?

At least we kept Pickett and picked up Neal and Wilson.

I know its BS. I mean i could see a 4 games suspension, but has Jolly even been officially charged?

Doesn't sound right to me. I mean, I know he doesn't have to be found guilty to be punished, but, cripes.

What did he do, punch Goodell out for asking about it?

"Justice" in the NFL is never equal.
It seems to depend on WHO you are.
A star QB? We won't ruin your team's season by keeping you out an entire year......even if you rape and pillage.
A D-lineman?
OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!!
That's how it seems, at least.

I got to give props to Ted Thompson for making plans for this. Keeping Pickett and drafting Neal seem like great ideas now.

Jenkins, Raji, Pickett, Neal, Wilson, Wynn, and.... Harrell

We got decent depth now that could help now that Jolly might be out.

True....he seemed to be prepared for the worst.
Good thing, too.

I hate to say it, but all of sudden, Justin Harrell becomes someone worth watching this training camp. I think Jolly has played his last game as a member of the Green Bay Packers.

And Harrell's chances of making the team jumped from .5% to 5% after this suspension goes into effect.

Funny how many games someone like Rofflecopter gets and the Williams Wall can fight and continuously delay their suspension in court yet Jolly gets an entire season?

Now I'm guessing his contract he signed back in July gets deferred to 2011 if he's reinstated like Koren's contract did to the following season when he was suspended back in '06?

I think his lack of visible remorse and the party deal that he threw/attended contributed into the decision. The actual charge I don't think was enough to merit a full season, but combine that with other contributing factors mentioned I feel made the decision for him.

Yes, porky good point, this does mean we have to keep a closer eye on Justin.

beast (8h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (13h) : meh

Zero2Cool (17h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (17h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (17h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (20h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (20h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (23h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (23h) : 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

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.
