For the first time since his rookie season, Packers kicker Mason Crosby probably will have some competition in training camp.

He may be fortunate it's this year and wasn't last year. I like Crosby and hope he can get back into a groove. His leg strength is really nice to have. But I wonder sometimes if part of the reason for his problems were the 55-60+ field goals they had him attempt.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

That guy needs some competition. Wow, did he suck last season... That's not a question.

I like him fine, and seems a great athlete with an interesting family history and all, but, the guy has to perform with some regularity. His contract is relatively high, and if a better K comes along and steals his job, so be it.

Crosby is the NFL's 6th highest paid K ($2.4M), right behind Robbie Gould, who makes $25K more per year, and, like, 80% more FGs.

Seeing a Kicker's salary makes me pine even more for players to paid a base salary based on their position. It increases with playing time/snaps. Performance and team achievements. It would absolved all damn contract holdout crap and salary cap issues.

Dude has been often called out and questioned. And justifiably so.

But he does kick in extremely difficult conditions. AND, even that year they messed with his holder, he didn't bitch or blame anyone else. He took it like a man. So I respect that they stood behind him even when he was struggling.

Still it's good to see them pushing him.

I honestly think what got into his head this year was when they were making him kick 60 yarders in on Family Night. Do NOT mess with your kicker's mind.

no shock that he will have competition. He should compete every year.

that said I figure he will get back on track and do just fine. The only question is will he be doing this for GB or some other team.

Zero2Cool (9m) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (26m) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (26m) : now 3

Zero2Cool (1h) : Who? What?

beast (10h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (14h) : meh

Zero2Cool (18h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (18h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (18h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (22h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (22h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : 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
