So much for our 'depth' - no trades· Page 2

Frankly, the only leverage the Packers had in trading Giacomini, Evan D-S, or even Havner was that a team liked them so much that they did not want to take the risk of letting these guys hit the open market and end up on another team. In the end, that is not really much leverage.

This right here is why relatively few trades are made at the cutdown period. Most teams just wait for waivers.

As far as pure talent goes, Sintim and Demps would be upgrades at OLB and S.

But there are reasons why they were cut, so I definitely won't freak out if we don't pick them up.

No trades, but the Cardinals did just claim Obiozor.

I figured that the full list of PS players didn't really fit in in this thread.

Anyway, Havner got picked up by the Lions, as well.

Best place to follow the moves so far has been on Greg A. Bedard's twitter account.

Yeah, the Press Gazette sucks! Since Tom was stolen, they have no one who keeps tabs on current news now.

Nope.. not traded just picked up.. good move for the Lions

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Source-Lions-claim-Spencer-Havner.html

The Detroit Lions have claimed tight end Spencer Havner off waivers from the Green Bay Packers, according to a league source with knowledge of the situation.

Havner was cut by the Packers on Saturday.

He cut seven passes for 112 yards and four touchdowns last season.

He played in all 16 games, starting once.

Havner played collegiately at UCLA.

I brought up the Demps idea as soon as he was cut, I don't know if he will drop to us in the waiver wire but I'd love to bring him in for some experience. Plus he's got a ton of experience with the Philly D, which can't hurt to much either 😉

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

I guess if someone in-division had to pick Havner up, I'm glad it was the Lions.

Zero2Cool (6h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (10h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (10h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (11h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (11h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (11h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (11h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (12h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (12h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (12h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (12h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (12h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (12h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (12h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (12h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (12h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (14h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (14h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (14h) : 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.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
