Watch this guy and how hard he is to go down. Just one tough SOB...he runs it out of the backfield like Randall Cobb mixed with Eddie Lacy. He brings a varied skill set with impressive measurables that no one else can touch for a TE. His vertical was just .5" less than Davante Adams. He outjumped all TE's at combine by 4". You don't find guys like him very often. Conversely, you don't find guys with his character too often, either. I'm going to bet if he played another position he wouldn't have such a stigma. Aaron Hernandez and the comparison has to make teams nervous. Who wants to take on a troubled TE who could may go Aaron Hernandez on you? I have not read anything about violence but some stuff regarding him has been kept quiet from what I read, if memory serves.

So did our new problem child get signed or not?

Packers general manager Ted Thompson said after Saturday’s final practice that he intended to take the rest of the weekend to consider those tryout players – including Lyerla, the troubled ex-University of Oregon tight end – and if any of them merited signing, those moves would be made on Monday.

“It’ll be a couple days before we settle on that,” Thompson said Saturday. “We’ll probably have that by Monday.”

Ted Thompson never said Monday was the day, for sure...just that they should have it sorted out and ready to announce Monday.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I'm going to laugh at the reactions when we sign Ike Ariguzo instead of Lyerla

They are just fun to watch.

Except when its vikings players making the follies. Those are extra funny.
