Possible pickups? · PACKERSHOME

I'm looking at Vince Young and Derek Anderson. If ANYBODY can develop a OB, it's MM.
I like Willis McGahee too. Marion Barber. I heard Greg Olsen might be released or traded. Don't see Ted Thompson trading though.
Todd Heap. Ted Thompson loves TEs!

Vince Young lacks the mental fortitude required for being a successful NFL quarterback.
Derek Anderson struggles to be a #2 on most teams.
Willis McGahee has lost a big step.
Marion Barber was never really that good to start with and isn't now.
Greg Olsen won't be traded to the Packers, lol.

Agreed on McGahee and Barber though. Starks and Green are way better! I still like McGahee though. I thought he was more of a salary cap casualty.

Those guys are all has-beens and never-was'es. We really don't need to waste roster and cap space for those guys.

This is a placeholder

Rich Gannon had talent that needed to be tapped. I don't know much about Derek Anderson, but the few times I seen him play, it's not worth the roster spot. I think Packers go Aaron Rodgers and Matt Flynn with a QB on the practice squad this year.

Looks like Ted is waiting for Friday(tomorrow) to see who all comes available.

Just heard where Greg Olsen was dealt to Carolina.

Looks like we are all going to have to be patient a little longer, if I were to guess, IMHO, Packers will try and get as many back as possible from last years roster, then fill in the gaps.

We are going to need another QB sometime since Matt will be gone after this year. Hate to lose him and only get the compensatory pick. Don't know if Derek Anderson would be that guy though. I'm almost certain Vince Young isn't.

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