If I were you guys, I would be worried about cap space trying to sign Rice. Whomever gets him, whether it be Minny or Seattle (rumor I heard today) will severely overpay him. Not Berrian level, but more than one good/great year is worth considering his durability 'issues'.

I'd love to keep him on my team, but not at the risk of overpaying for him.



Now you are just starting to sound like Marrdro. That's too bad, I kinda liked ya. =P

He is a talented player.. no doubt.. IMO one of the underrated deep threats in the game.. but he will not fit us in terms of salary.

In a cap less world.. yes. In reality.. nope.

I would rather resign Jones and give Driver a farwell tour of sorts or have him restructure his deal.

That and we have a gaggle of WR being brought in again.. we will find a gem someplace in there in the worst case scenario.

If the Vikes trade for McNabb and overpay for Rice.. they are severely forked this season. [grin1]

I'm with the majority. Rice is a good player, but the Packers are deep at WR and have much better places to spend their money.

(In that scenario, A D is only a Viking rental that fell into their lap due to blind luck [grin1] )

I like Sidney Rice, but he'd probably be only a 4th WR on our team. Maybe a 3rd, depending on matchups. Not counting TEs.

But no, obviously not. If we're going to give anyone a ridiculous FA contract that the player can't possibly be worth, it better be at a position we're not stacked at. Kamerion Wimbley would've been great, had the Raiders not tagged him. Mathias Kiwanuka would be interesting to see play opposite of Clay.

without injury, he would be a #2 at worst. maybe even better than Jennings as a deep threat, he uses his size very well...

although Rodgers rarely puts the ball in a circus-catch position [grin1]


some good O-line out as FAs this year, i'd rather we make a run at one of them.

dfosterf (2h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo
Zero2Cool (3h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha
wpr (4h) : Tomorrow is almost here.
packerfanoutwest (4h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?
packerfanoutwest (4h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him
Zero2Cool (6h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.
packerfanoutwest (16h) : don't care
Zero2Cool (21h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?
packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat
wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (22-Apr) : now 3
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?
beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast
wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (21-Apr) : 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
