I think it would be a mistake to get rid of Driver. I'm all about going younger to a point, but he still brings it on Sunday. He was the only WR who played well against the Giants.

The thing about Grant is the way he used the Favre situation as leverage to get his last contract. I think that works against him to some degree.

Lots of good points, pro and con, mostly con on keeping Driver.

This I know was posted already but thought i would include the link

http://packersnews.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20120210/PKR01/120210198/Green-Bay-Packers-WR-Donald-Driver-willing-to-take-a-pay-cut-to-stay-with-the-team?odyssey=tab |topnews|text|FRONTPAGE

Another interesting article from a week or so ago had this little blurb:

• Even though the Packers are well-stocked with young running backs like James Starks, Brandon Saine and Alex Green, who showed some flashes before suffering a season-ending knee injury, our sources suspect the team will still re-sign RB Ryan Grant, probably to a one-year deal.

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/139393643.html

Too early to speculate IMHO, but I'll play.

Chad Clifton retires.

Donald Driver restructures his contract and is back in 2012.

Ryan Grant signs 1 yr deal and is back.

Scott Wells is signed to a 3 - 5 yr deal.

Jermicheal Finley leaves via Free Agency.
Charles Woodson re-structures his contract to be more cap friendly in 2012.

Rb's/Fb's at start of training camp:
Ryan Grant, James Starks, Alex Green, John Kuhn, Brandon Saine,Jon Hoese
If no injuries, Hoese goes to PS the rest make final cuts and are on 53 man roster.

Wr's at start of training camp
Jennings, Nelson, Jones, Driver, Cobb, Gurley, Borel and Smithson
Smithson and Borel go to PS, the rest make the final cuts and are on 53 man roster.

TE's at start of training camp
Crabtree, Quarless, Taylor and Williams
All make final cuts and are on 53 man roster

5 rb's, 6 wr's, 4 te's if I am right that is 1 more than the total last year at start of the season, that 1 will come from 1 less lb kept on final roster.

Bonus Info:

For their 1st pick of the 2012 draft The Green Bay Packers select:

CHANDLER JONES DE/OLB Syracuse University.

There I put it out there and will stick with it.

Now for my prediction - it's more broad. 2010s are our decade. We win 4 SBs this decade. We're one for two right now.

I also predict Vikesrule becomes a Packers fan within the next 5 years.

Now, one of my 2 predictions will come true.

Donald Driver, as a Packer, is nothing more or less than a 3rd down slot receiver.

I admire his heart. Yes, I know he lost a step. But if the rest of the team played like that, we would have beaten the Giants.
