Let me just say I dont think Thompson is going to go out there any get any big name even less so its a trouble makers whos know as much for his troubles off the field and lack of becoming a pro on it as Marshawn Lynch. But there are other rumors starting to pop up as well, which I think are fake but you never know.

The Packers have a good number of CBs but not RBs. The Cowboys have a good number of RBs but not CBs. The rumor is

A CB and a 4th round pick for RB Marion Barber.


What do you think?

If the Cowboys have scouts who have actually bothered to watch the Packers' CBs, I cannot imagine them accepting someone like a Bush or Lee for Barber.

Honestly, I'm not sure why the RB rumor mill concerning Green Bay is working in over-drive.

Warhawk stated something in another thread I totally agree with: while B-Jack may not be a RB with the same skill set as Grant, he probably allows the Packers to have greater options than they ever had with Grant starting.

Somewhere in his heart of hearts, I think MM is smiling at the chance to have B-Jack start. You can use Jackson like you did Grant - to run the ball - but now you also have Jackson as an added threat in the check-down department and someone who is an actual threat as a receiver out of the backfield.

McCarthy no doubt likes the added versatility that Jackson allows him. No doubt our depth at RB got hurt with Grant's injury, but we do not need a starting caliber RB to replace him.

Not sure Dallas would even talk to Green Bay during the season.

Fumbles aside, Tashard Choice is who I'd target from Dallas anyways. Though it doesn't seem likely Dallas would want to trade to a team that has every bit as good as chance as them at reaching the Super Bowl.

From what I seen I sure hope Jackson learns how to run between the tackles, because what I seen was he wanted to jump outside on everything. Running between the tackles is what will hurt the most from Grants loss.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Definitely can't trade Woody or Tramon. Other than that, I'd say you could trade any of the CB's. I just hope it isn't Al Harris.

Would be nice to keep Shields around as well.

As others have said, it's hard to imagine which CB could be traded for Barber. Woodson is obviously out of the question. It would have to be either Harris or Williams, then, because none of the others are worth anything. And I sure wouldn't want to give up Harris or Williams.

Tramon Williams is on a one year contract. Right?

Only way I see that happening, would be if Barber fell out of favor with the staff and Tramon gave indications of wanting to leave Green Bay behind closed doors.

I'm against trading Woodson, Williams and Shields... Harris and Underwood are maybes depending on their health and what they're offering.

wpr (22h) : 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.
