What's his injury history? He's played in all the games the past 2 years.. If he played through those injures I commend him. But seriously if he just tweaked something I don't see high risk in taking him.

There was no reason for Mike to mention Benson or Grant since they are not currently members of the team nor will they be anytime soon.

I wonder if GB will get any trade offers for Starks. If so anything more than a 7th? If that is all they get GB should sit tight until the end of TC. Someone will come calling. Undrafted and unproven Grant was worth a 6th to GB. They should get that for Starks too.

dfosterf (2h) : I should have put it in quotes

dfosterf (2h) : It is the title of a you tube video.

dfosterf (2h) : I'm not assuming anything

beast (8h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (13h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (13h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (13h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (18h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (20h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (22h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (22h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (23h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (23h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

wpr (21-Apr) : 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.
