Or Packer fans who put up with annoying little purple people, because we feel we can convert their football ignorance to our righteous ways.

I'd rather have an old guy who is a leader (Driver) than an old guy who is an asshole (Plax). Guy had the talent necessary to dominate the NFL, but bad things happen to people who are dumb.

I'll never forget how he destroyed Al Harris a couple years ago in that NFC Championship game. Such a shame that he will be remembered more for shooting himself in the leg (and then going to jail because of it) than the way he dominated during their Super Bowl run.

The guy is done though. If teams don't want Randy Moss or TO they aren't going to want Plaxico. I doubt he's in game shape anyways.

Burriss is a stop gap player for some team that needs a WR badly and might take a chance to see if he can still play. The Pack needs to groom a player that can take over for Driver and that is not Burriss.

I think we will see a WR selected in the 2nd or 3rd round and it won't be a coincidence that they will have the body type that will let them run the routes they ask of Driver.

He'd be an "emergency" guy for me. Kind of like Andre Rison was for the 96 Packers. A guy that MIGHT be able to be a "decent" person for a few months, but you KNOW long term he will self destruct.

No worries bud. Slamming things I say seems to be the off season hoorah 'round here. I can dig it.

I'd still like to try him out if, probably only if we lose James Jones and fail to pick up a suitable replacement in the draft.

Right now as the Packers roster stands, I don't think there's a place for him. Sure, he's better than Brett Swain @ WR, but what bout Special Teams? I think not.

That being said, would you rather have Jones or Burress on the roster? I'd hope that this is an easy one to answer...... 🙂

I'd take James Jones over Plaxico Burress, even if Plaxico was 3 years younger and no jail time.

I've been pretty hard on James Jones, but I really honestly feel he has the best hands on the team (aside from Finley) and is just lacking focus an concentration. I think with the right coaching he might be a similar WR as Sterling Sharpe was.

wpr (1h) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (22h) : 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.

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.
