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 (16-Mar) : AI probably like meh I say bad idea, but you gonna do it anyway!!!

Zero2Cool (16-Mar) : dfosfter, I asked AI if I should do something, it recommended I do not, then showed me how to do it anyway.

Zero2Cool (16-Mar) : Yeah, beast you got it right. not sure what the heck i was reading

Zero2Cool (16-Mar) : Oh wow, I read something way wrong. Vikings did NOT send 2nd.

Zero2Cool (16-Mar) : That's how I feel about it when I think of doing X, I then do Y!

dfosterf (16-Mar) : I'm here to help. Give me your options, I will make my suggestion, then you can do the opposite

Zero2Cool (16-Mar) : Mainly because I cannot make a friggin decision.

Zero2Cool (16-Mar) : Creating forum is much harder than expected haha

beast (16-Mar) : 49ers got two picks (one in 2025, and 2026), Vikings got a RB and one lower 2025 pick

beast (16-Mar) : Huh? Vikings have the same amount of 2025 picks as before the 49ers trade... and their 2nd round pick is with the Bills from '24 draft trade

Zero2Cool (16-Mar) : Vikings have just four picks now. They shipped their 2nd to 49ers.

beast (16-Mar) : 49ers sure didn't get much for him...

Zero2Cool (16-Mar) : TRADE The 49ers are trading RB Jordan Mason to the Vikings.

Zero2Cool (16-Mar) : and Vikings say JJ is QB1

beast (15-Mar) : Then maybe they'll be paying you to stop

Zero2Cool (15-Mar) : you really really do not want to see me dance

beast (15-Mar) : Ookay, get up on the pole and start dancing, and I'll try to send people over to give you $1 bills

Zero2Cool (15-Mar) : I'm an issue. Throw money at me, I will go away.

beast (15-Mar) : Bears have thrown a lot of money and draft picks at QBs and haven't found one (though maybe they finally have now)

beast (15-Mar) : Throwing money and draft picks at issues don't necessarily fix an issue

TheKanataThrilla (15-Mar) : I keep on hearing pass rush, but it astounds me how much $$ we have invested and draft picks and still don't have one.

TheKanataThrilla (15-Mar) : Hope we don't avoid someone like Christian Gonzalez which would have been a real gift last season.

TheKanataThrilla (15-Mar) : There always seems to be a high draft pick that slips and is there when we pick.

Zero2Cool (15-Mar) : Aaron Rodgers hopes to sign with the Vikings, per Mike Silver.

Zero2Cool (15-Mar) : You're not gonna go for what your board says? Just straight up positions?

Martha Careful (15-Mar) : my drafts would be OL DL and CB centric. Preferably from power 4 conferences who have started 2+ years

Mucky Tundra (15-Mar) : How much of that is guaranteed?

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : $45m over three years. Yikes.

dfosterf (14-Mar) : Seahawks sign Cooper Kupp

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : Colts sign CB Corey Ballentine.

dfosterf (14-Mar) : At least give it some spins in your mocks. Not Martha, she's disqualified, lol

dfosterf (14-Mar) : You have to like Tyliek Williams DL from Ohio State to agree with me on this

dfosterf (14-Mar) : quality dl in the 2nd and quality edge in the 3rd

dfosterf (14-Mar) : Taking Mathew Golden WR in the 1st is consistently working out for me in getting q

Zero2Cool (14-Mar) : LB Eric Wilson to Vikings

Zero2Cool (13-Mar) : Hobbs said Jaire reached out and congratulated him.

Martha Careful (13-Mar) : ditto, I wish nothing but the best for AJ Diilan and Josh Myers. and yes dfosterf, you are correct
