Ugh, it's a contract, why is it so hard to find 100% accurate information?
Now apparently the Packers guaranteed Driver $1.2 million.

I'm betting the Packers keep six receivers if they really did guarantee Driver $1.2 million, unless he starts dancing with two left feet during training camp.

Something funny.

Funny story about that Methodikal, who happens to be the "Host" admin account and was temporarily -- accidently deleted. Wanna talk about an 'oh sweet honey iced tea' moment ... my forehead was sweating because you can't create another one.

That 6th WR will have to be better than the 4th TE (or some other position). I can see it happening. The league MVP needs targets.

There was a time we always had 6 WR's, although not the overall talent of what we have now. I think McCarthy likes TE's for versatility and on special teams, but Gurley might change that this year. If a WR gets cut, it just may be Jones, I mean let's face it - he isn't improving.

IMO, Dancing with the Stars is going to pay dividends for Driver and the Packers this season.

IMO, with the contract he signed.. a one year deal; this will be Drivers farewell tour in the NFL.

I think he understands that.. I think the Packers understand that.. and I think Driver still provides value between the white stripes.

I believe the Packers find a way to keep Driver on the team for this season.

Only reason I posted that is because you just threw that out there with absolutely nothing else. No elaboration, no sources, just that.

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

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE
