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.

beast (8h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (12h) : meh

Zero2Cool (16h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (16h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (16h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (20h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (20h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (22h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (23h) : 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

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
