AJ Hawk to be traded to Bills for Marshawn Lynch?· Page 12

Hawk is not planning to stay in Green Bay next season even if Ted Thompson wanted to pay him millions to sit on the bench. Although an average player by comparison to others on the Packers roster, Hawk could be a solid starting LB for lesser teams around the NFL.

The bolded part is what sucks the most for me. I know a lot of peole don't like AJ for his lack of production, but he is a solid player (maybe not as solid as his contract). Nonetheless, he is a strong player at a key position in our 3-4.

If we actually used the 3-4, I'd say keep him. But the more and more I look at this the more I agree with you. Because 1) AJ is extremely disgruntled 2) It's his last year on contract and he's high talent for other teams that aren't in near as good as shape as us.

The conclusion for me is the same as Kampy's was, either trade him and get actual value or hold on to him for too long and get crap in return. I say all of this with a feeling of being kicked in the groin because I love AJ Hawk.

Thanks to pack93z for the sig!!!

This is the first I have heard that Hawk wants out.

Why? Surely one game sitting on the bench because of the opponent isn't going to do it.

Green Bay has a good history of bringing "troubled" players in and turning around their careers...Andre Rison and Koren Robinson immediately come to mind.

I would approve this trade even tho I really like Hawk.

No, it wasn't sitting on the bench in last week's game. He put his house on the market 11 days ago (before the game). This and the depth the packers have at LB, gives a strong indication he is planning for his departure after this year.

Agreed. I have never been a fan of Hawk because he didn't live up to his draft expectations, but his production is more than solid.

With Bishop having a hamstring problem, we are actually thin at ILB. Get rid of him and we are down to 2.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.

First Rodgers, now ... Barnett?

Id love to have (Lynch) as a running back, but it depends on what the expense is, Packers linebacker Nick Barnett said. Theyve got some good backs. Were going to steal one of those guys, hopefully.

The RB's on the Packers must feel loved.

He doesn't like playing sub packages and wants to be an every down backer. I'd say that means he doesn't really want to stay in GB.

Hawk did a post game interview with Larry McCarren yesterday on WTMJ. He said all the right things. He didn't complain about the lack of playing time in week one or being in the sub packages. He sounded like a team player.

He even said that he cringed a bit at what his agent said last week. (paraphrased.) That what his agent said had no impact on his increased number of snaps this week as the bame plan was already in place by the time anything was said. He went on to say that he hoped that there would be no one who is outside of GB management would be able to influence the coaching decisions.

After the Eagles game:
"What I'm playing in now, the package I'm in, is not my football destiny. It's not to be a part-time guy. As of today, that's how it goes. I'll stick with it and do my thing."

After the Bills game: (talking about what his agent said)
I dont mind what he said, Hawk said. He said if someone wanted me to play the whole time, Id be excited. Who wouldnt be excited if thats the case?

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress
