Under the current circumstances, which could change any day, can draft picks still be traded up or down on draft say? I'm thinking Thompson might want to move out of #32, depending who's still there, but will he be able to?

I'm thinking they can but I'll move aside for somebody more dedicated to looking these things up. Time for bed!

Why wouldn't a GM be able to trade draft picks?

Assuming there still is a draft..

Out of respect for the game, I would have to assume that the two sides would at least come together in agreement for there to be a draft.

I wouldn't bet on that... both sides are trying to do everything they can to get leverage and if that meant holding up the draft to upset the other side they probably would try...

I believe the 2011 draft is agreement under the old agreement but it's still valid for the NFL to do it this year. I don't think next years is...

Which I think means if this battle drags into next year (please no) then the Union might sue the NFL for antitrust saying it's 32 teams forcing free workers to go places instead of having a free market system...

I'm sure they'll at least bluff it... weather they do it or not who knows...

Because on the other hand if they're no deal by then, that would mean the 1st round picks are still getting their huge pay days which the Union would like...

The union wants a rookie pay scale don't they? They want the money to go to veterans who've performed on the field, as well as taking some of that money to pay for health care for the guys who've gone before.

I think the draft is set to happen despite the lockout, but since you can't trade regularly during the lockout, I would have to think that you can't trade during the draft either.

This is a placeholder

What Finny said. That makes sense. All picks are set in stone until a new agreement is inked.

From all that I've heard, the draft will take place and teams can trade picks but not players

The draft will happen but from what I've heard the teams can't sign any of their draft picks until a new CBA gets signed. So essentially what teams are doing is drafting the rights to sign players.

beast (1h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (5h) : meh

Zero2Cool (9h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (9h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (9h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (12h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (12h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (15h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (16h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

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.
