Smart move, if he missed much time he would really be jepardizing his job.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I am of the opinion that this was the plan all along. Skip OTAs and Mandatory mini camp, sign in time for training camp.

I think it was the wrong decision, considering even rehabbing guys showed up for OTAs.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

Awesome.

Even if he doesn't keep the SS spot, we could use him for depth. DB depth becomes crucial late in the season.

good. i'm not a HUGE fan...but having a n00b starting at SS had me a little nervous.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

Atari Bigby is horribly underrated. He still might be our worst defensive starter though. His biggest weakness in my opinion is positioning.

This is a placeholder

We had a "n00b" starting at ROLB this past year, and he turned out pretty good. I'm hoping for more of the same from our SS.

Even Colledge, as vilified as he is and in greater jeopardy of losing a starting gig, signed earlier than Bigby. With Burnett performing well at OTAs, could this spell the end of Bigby being our starting safety, if not at the start of the season, then perhaps by the end of it?

To me it doesn't matter if he's starter or not. We need the guy. Like I said, by the end of the season, DB depth becomes important. Look what happened to us when Al Harris went down.

Bigby is underrated. He's a good player. He's only the weakest of the four starters because Al Harris and Nick Collins are both Pro Bowlers and Woody's a future Hall of Famer. On a normal team, he'd stand out more.

Nice to see him sign. We need the depth and my bets are he will be starting against Philly. This is going to be the biggest battle in camp this year! We needed this!

Weak Safety play has hurt us in recent seasons. I LOVE THIS TEAM!!!!!! GO PACK!!!

Zero2Cool (5h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (5h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (9h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (9h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (11h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (12h) : 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.

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