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.

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.

Zero2Cool (41m) : Who? What?

beast (9h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (13h) : meh

Zero2Cool (17h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (17h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (17h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (23h) : 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

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
