In my opinion this guy along with Bishop solidified our defense this year. I'm just curious what some of you think about extending his conract to reflect starter money, and if that is done - what is Morgan Burnett's role going forward?

I really think Peprah and Bishop saved our defense this season when the starters went down, and in both situations, an argument could be made that they improved the position.

Or maybe Capers should be voted Pope of Green Bay.

I think that if we plan to make Peprah a starter over Burnett, then give him an extension with some starter cash, otherwise, we could use him for trade/draft pick potential. That being said, I thought that Burnett was doing well, but I think that Peprah has done better. I am not in the Packers organization though, so I don't know if Burnett has the potential that coaches often see but fans do not. I'd like to see Peprah back next year as a starter, based off of his success this year, because I completely agree that he and Bishop played a major role this season.

Peprah was good, but I'm not sure he's an integral part of our core (like Bishop and Tramon). I'd rather put that money towards Jenkins.

I think Peprah is a guy we keep. Maybe the last year we have Bigby in GB.

We keep both Peprah and Burnett. Depth is a good thing and a 3rd round rookie contract is very salary friendly.

Peprah will go forward as the starter, but he won't get that much money. Just like Bishop.

You just don't know how Burnett will go on from here. A lot of players make their biggest leap from year 1 to 2. For all we know, he could be starting again next year. It's very possible that he wins that starting job back in TC with some excellent, ballhawking play.

We'll keep both, regardless.

Yes, Peprah and Bishop have both toughened up the defense. There probably is no need to give Peprah starter's money, though--not unless his contract is up and some other team wants him. Burnett still has a claim on that starting job. Let them compete against each other in training camp. May the best man win.

Peprah is playing good but what is it his second or third year?

Burnett was playing good too in his first year. If this injurie doesn't affect Burnett's game, he will be starter coming next year.

IMO Burnett > Peprah ...

It's Pep's fifth year. He's playing good football. Such a great problem to have. I'll be happy with either guy playing.

I wasn't that impressed with Burnett. He seemed weak against the run. He seems to have good instincts and a lot of upside, though, so he and Peprah should be neck-and-neck in training camp next year.

I also noticed Burnett missing a few tackles in the open field. But I think he still has a bright future.

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.
