I've read that Driver is likely to retire many times now on this forum, is there a reason for this? Has he mentioned it? Or is this all your own speculation?

I can see the going out on top thing, but it seems like he enjoys the game far too much to retire early just to go out on top, especially when this team is loaded and would likely be the favorite next year as well.

I was just wondering if in interviews during recent weeks he has mentioned retiring or something, based on so many people speculating.
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

But he does not get the only vote. He does have a contract through the 2012 season but that does not mean he will get paid based on the current contract. 2012: $2.6 million (+ $2.2 million roster bonus + $200,000 workout bonus)  You only have to look as far as Hawk or Bennett to see that.

It is possible they could resign him to a more favorable contract. It is possible they could honor the existing contract. It is possible they could tell him they have no plans for him in the future. I DON"T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT YEAR. What I said is if the FO decides they like Gurley and want to make room for him next year, it is POSSIBLE he gets the spot on the team now occupied by DD.

I like Donald. Before the season I argued as loud as anyone that they need him on the team this season. What can not be denied is his production was fallen off dramatically for a number of year. In 2006 he had 12 receptions for 1295 yards averaging 14.1 yards be catch. It has dropped almost every year since then. Last year it was 51 for 565 yards and a 11.1 avg. This year 31 for 357 with a similar avg of 11.5. If Jennings played the next 3 games Donald would not match last years numbers. He now has a chance. But it is not a given that he will.

oops I overreacted. Sorry. Nothing has been said. In preseason a lot of people didn't want him on the team and wanted one of the younger guys to have their chance to develop. The thought was to pocket the money and start the development process for the new kid. Back then my contention was that developmental players are there to be had every year. My last post was sort of based on that issue. DD has not really preformed this year and it is possible they will want to do something else next year.

Well, looks like the Gurley rumor wasn't true. Probably just normal speculation based on Jennings being out being turned into something more than it really was. 🤥 😞

Where my Tori Gurley at? Damn you, Ted Thompson! DAMN YOU!!!

I take that last post back. Looks like there WAS some fire behind the smoke!-

From twitter-

RobDemovsky- Gurley said he did get a raise from the #Packers but wanted to stay here anyway cuz if he went to Minn, season would've been over in 3 weeks 9 minutes ago

RobDemovsky- WR Tori Gurley turned down the Vikings offer this week to stay on the #Packers practice squad. Vikings offered a roster spot.

Yeah, well I have a source that says it was all Tori Gurley's agent that facilitated that rumor to get Gurley a raise. Prove me wrong or my source is 100% credible!!!! Factoid!

It is true, I am in the closet, because you won't accept my sexual advances, so I must keep them secret.
