It is more likely that the team would build a domed stadium and move to St Paul before Driver is cut this year.

Chillar is gone. Barnett most likely traded but I think they will end up with a 5-6 round pick for him.
Tauscher retires. Poppinga cut.
Harrolle makes the team.
P Lee gone.

hey, i love Driver, good character, good career.

but he has a big contract and i don't think he can play up to it anymore, and I want rodgers to be surrounded by the most talented players Ted can gather.

if he can get back to 900-1k range, and resolve his drops, i will be happy.

still alot of money for a reciever on the downside if his career though.

If Driver is cut that leaves Swain, Robinson and West. Which one are you saying is better than Driver IF he indeed has diminished skills as you suggest? If Jones takes off for greener pastures, and you know Teddy will not get into a bidding war for players, which two are better than Donald?

Ted may ask Donald to renegotiate his contract, also something I don't see happening THIS YEAR but he won't outright cut Driver.

or hell, Finley is for all purposes a WR too.

just saying, if during the course of the season, or when it is done, and we see Driver slowing down, his cap number could be better spent elsewhere.

and this may have well just been a "down" year for DD, but history says that when older WRs drop below the 1K mark, especially by 400 yards, they usually don't have alot left to offer.

age + cap + low production = something needs to be done.
if this were any other player that did not have such a legacy in GB, you bet he'd take a cut or be cut.

I think Thompson is going to do his normal thing.... which is to resign Packers and maybe one guy who's not a huge name from another team, and let the guys he has compete, unless someone demand to be cut and/or are a problem in the lock room then he might do something. He also tagged and trade Williams... but he didn't tag anyone this year (which he could of tagged Jenkins).

The only one I see being a real difference is Barnett (and maybe Tausher). Can Barnett emotional handle not being on the 1st team? Which Mike McCarthy made it sound like Bishop and Hawk would be starting on 1st team when they came back in training camp. As for Tausher I think that will be kept behind closed doors unless the Packers want to move on and he want to keep playing then we'll hear about him get cut and looking for a new team but it will be pretty quite still.

I do think some of those players will be cut when it's time to go down to 53 guys, but it will because there is good young talent with more potential that can keep up with them. Not just because their contracts.

If he doesn't then let him go. If he does, he will make it worth keeping him around for a while.

It is probable the production slip was from the injuries not slowing down. However, that could be masking a slowing down. There is also no way to tell if the the injuries are because of age or just because of football.

This year and maybe this pre season will tell.

I want to go out like my Grandpa did. Peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming in terror like his passengers.

1) Barnett
2) Chillar
3) Poppinga

We'll likely only keep one, and that's the order of preference. I'm guessing that we won't get a knock-our-socks-off trade offer for Barnett, and that we'll wind up cutting Chillar and Poppinga so that we can pay him.

Martha Careful (20h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (20h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Rude!

beast (24-Jan) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
