To hose or be hosed, this is the question. With a super bowl trophy and a young loaded team, I believe our GM has been doing the hosing.

We won the SB ... now I would trade any draft pick for an opportunity like that for a player that had a major impact like Clay did.
Glad To Be A Packers Fan.

If that was being hosed, give me another dose.

Haha, looking back now, that list kind of holds true, most those guys are average at best (except Mike Wallace).

This draft has been deemed as weak overall by many, except at a few positions like D-line. I would not be surprised to see Ted try to trade up or down depending on how the picks line up. I could see him trading down to a QB-needy team at the top of the 2nd round OR trading up to a team that misses out on Gabbert/Newton (see Washington/Miami) and wants to pick another QB (Locker, Ponder, Mallett, Kapernick) at a more appropriate draft position.

A trade up to 10 (Redskins) or 15 (Dolphins) would give the Pack a chance at one of the better offensive linemen (Costanzo, Carimi, Smith, Solder) or defensive prospects (Aldon Smith, JJ Watt, etc). Both of those teams also are missing 2nd or 2rd round picks due to trades and would probably like to picks some picks up.


(remember spots 32 is lowest spot where you can still sign a pick to a 5 year deal)

I say we go all in for Von Miller and really bring the heat next season. Even Bush would be able to cover with Matthews and Miller bookends. All the tackles this season are right tackles at best, and none are better than what we already have in house.

Funny thing was it was that draft that turned me into a Ted Thompson fan.

Good bump.

But is Bulaga a long-term RT or will he switch to the left when Clifton is done. I can't see Chad playing beyond next season. If Bulaga is our future at LT, we're going to need a new RT. Is that player on the roster (Lang, Newhouse, etc?), I'm not sure. That's why I wouldn't mind a trade up to get another tackle.

Carimi/Costanzo seems like more of a Right Tackles from what I've heard, but both have the ability to play guard.

Solder/Smith are more like Left Tackles.

Millertime - our new left tackle may just be Newhouse. I think we will have to see how the off season goes. I like the idea of leaving Bulaga at RT. He handled himself pretty well and will only get better. Carimi and Solder seem a little small to handle the position.

I would say the Packers are going to sit tight and let the draft come to them. Tomorrow we will find out what our comp pick is for Kampmann. It would be nice to bring in about 3 prospects to seriously compete this training camp, and we absolutely have to find a punt returner not named Tramon Williams.

I thought it was a high price to pay. I still think they paid a lot but when you are looking for quality you sometimes have to over pay. (Reggie for example.)

Zero2Cool (5h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (9h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (9h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (10h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (10h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (10h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (10h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (10h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (10h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (10h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (10h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (10h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (10h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (10h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (10h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (11h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (12h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (12h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (12h) : 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.
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?
