The Green Bay Packers apparently decided after today's loss to the Miami Dolphins that they need to improve their secondary. And they've acted quickly to make it happen.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Packers have acquired safety Anthony Smith in a trade with the Jaguars.

The Packers have been incredibly thin in the secondary since losing Morgan Burnett for the season.

Smith has started three games for the Jaguars this season and was expected to start for them on Monday night. Instead he'll pack his bags and head north.

I wonder what we gave up? Look like Ted Thompson is admitting a mistake from last offseason.

i'm somewhat shocked about the timing of this. Even if in discussion for some time, I'm stunned it happened so quickly after a game/before the jags' game.

I also wonder if this is telling about either his faith in bigby, or how soon he will be coming off the PUP

Next on Ted's list...Jon Ryan (I hope)

Makes sense on a couple of different levels (Smith is not a bad player, knows the scheme, fills a position we are paper thin at) but I'm downright confused by the timing.

Better late than never, I guess.

Apparently, Bigby is not expected back anytime soon.

Who knows? Perhaps the Jags weren't willing to part with him until now? Or maybe they got a better offer than Ted Thompson was originally offering. Be interesting to find out.

Smith was originally cut at the end of camp last year right?

Yes. I remember a lot of us thinking it was a head scratcher because he looked pretty decent that preseason. Hope he can fill in for the rest of the year, provide...something, anything, back there.

They kept Rouse over Smith. Then cut Rouse two weeks later. This is messed up. If it's anything near what the Bills were asking for Lynch, I'm gonna puke. LOL.
I'm getting freaked out about Bigby's ankle.
Can he return punts?

Oh, man that's right. Rouse over Smith. Where's Rouse now? Playing in the UFL.
