NFL or the Players wanted to retain the 2010 rules for 2011 while they continue to hammer out a new deal. I think it was the Players who wanted it, but the Owners felt they were being shafted and thus opted out of the "current" CBA.

The 2010-11 rules were less player friendly as vets with 4 and 5 years under their belts were no longer UFAs.

I doubt the players want the 2010-11 season rules. I bet Thompson and the Packers front office would love them. Only Jenkins and the RFAs they didn't tendered (plus guys they cut) would be UFAs. The rest of the FAs would be RFAs.

I'm sorry, I just don't see James Jones in Green Bay's future, and I'm sure my buddy Dr. Death Nonstop will agree with me on this. First of all, in the article he thinks of himself as a starter - and will want starter money with his next contract (that isn't going to happen). Secondly, I don't think Jones has outplayed Jorde Nelson in any way. When DD retires, Nelson will be our #2. The third thing is the drafting of Cobb which gives us some dynamics that Jones doesn't. And the fourth reason I think Jones is gone is the huge future money that will be going to guys like Raji, Matthews, Finley, Sitton, Shields and possibly Mike Neal when he puts it all together.

The receiving corp is our bread and butter no doubt, but I don't think we've ever had a problem in the modern era of replacing any of these guys - especially now when we have such a marksman at QB. I think James Jones has a great future ahead of him, but I would be shocked if it was in Green Bay.

All James has to do is quit dropping the ball(catches and fumbles) and he will be a very good receiver. I don't see him staying with the Packers either.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I don't care how "Steady" Jones may or may not be in the future, or how "Steady" he may or may not have been in the past. The fact that I am now forced to cringe every time I see him getting thrown to is reason enough for me to want him gone. I hate cringing.

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

I think he is a favorable match up versus any 3rd or 4th CB in the league which really helps the passing game. I wouldn't mind seeing him back but I don't think it will happen. Not for the long term anyway.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I was harsh on Jordy last year. I was wrong, and I'm glad I was wrong. 🙂

Also it could just be my memory but Driver seems to be dropping more than he normally does lately.

wpr (2h) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (23h) : 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.
