Aaron Kampman - Al Harris

Was just wondering what these two we're thinking / feeling when they watched us win the SB.

It saddens me to see those two players not in the winning roster. Specially, right after Harris was cut and Kampman was traded the year ago.

* Edit: It probably wouldn't sadden me if it was 2-3 years after they had left.

"It saddens me to see him not on the winning roster."

I guess the point I am making is... If Harris, Kampman, and him were on the roster... The Packers would have not won it all.

It is a good post. I understand how you are thinking... But if the Packers did not move on in many, many ways there would have not even been a FOURTH SUPERBOWL CHAMPIONSHIP.

Five years ago, Five months ago, or five minutes ago.... There can be no growth without change. There can be no change without growth.

There will be cuts this year and there will be a new roster. CHANGE, It is a damn good thing.

I suggest you learn to like compensatory picks like Josh Sitton.

Most players in that situation say that they are happy for their former teammates, many of whom they consider to be friends. I think that's true, but it's probably not the whole truth. There must be that feeling of "what might have been"--that things didn't turn out the way they could have. On the other hand, I think most of these guys are pretty resilient and don't dwell on it too much.

AK and AH were probably happy for us - they were both big enough men to avoid any bitterness.

I KNOW what Brent was thinking...

While I feel for them. They know it is a business. I am certain they feel that they could have contributed to the victory. They just didn't have a vote in the matter.

How could they have contributed to the victory? Our defense improved without them, and they both ended back up on IR this year.

Some of the best decisions Ted Thompson made was letting those two go.

This thread is quickly becoming "Random Babble" material.

Is it time for the draft yet?

It ain't like Al, Aaron, and Brent weren't handsomely compensated for their services to the GBP. This championship is/was/and always will be about our young fire pissers, Uncle Ted, and MM. Nostalgia is overated.

Wow, that's harsh. If healthy, they both could've been contributors, though there's no way to be sure of course. Are you somehow interpreting wpr's comment as a criticism of Ted Thompson, or a lack of appreciation for the job he's done? Because I don't see it at all.

DakotaT has also missed the point. I don't see any problem with thinking about some of the good players who are now gone. If you think these guys are in it solely for the money, you're wrong. They do want to win.

dfosterf (3h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (3h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (4h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (4h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (4h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (4h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (4h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (4h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (4h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (4h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (4h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (5h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (5h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (6h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (6h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (6h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (22h) : 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?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh
