Profootballtalk via Bill Michaels Radio Show “No doors are closed yet, and we’ll see what happens,” McCarthy said on The Bill Michaels Show. “It’s always something that I think you have to be realistic about in the National Football League. I would love to work with all three of those guys again.”

The only guy I ever recall MM saying they moved on from was Brett Favre.

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."

Check out this link ! It had the same story and you could have just clicked the "Discuss" button and it would have brought the topic into the forum all ready for you to add your comments! It's a great feature of PackersHome!

The Packers have maintained all offseason that they are open to a return from tight end Jermichael Finley if they think his neck is sound after last year's injury and subsequent surgery and nothing has changed on that front. Head coach Mike McCarthy said on Friday that the team hasn't moved on from Finley for...

Pickett might have a year left. I'd like to see Jolly too, if he's healthy. They should bring him back and just PUP him, in case we need him later on if a bunch of guys go down.

I don't like this whole idea of getting "smaller and quicker" on the Dline.

Hell No at any price for Pickett; Hell No at anywhere near what he probably would get if deemed healthy for Finley; OK on Jolly, but no big deal if he is gone too.

Bottom line on all three is they would be taking roster spots from players of more value.

I hate to spend much time agreeing with Texas, but he's right. Hehehehe.

Our D sucked last year. So why would we want 2 of the big guys up front that were actively involved in the sucking. Younger, faster, cheaper replacements are available.

Finley, ehh. There appear to be adequate replacements on the roster that cost less and talk less. For all of his greatness, he didn't win anything for us. Missed the Super Bowl season (most of) and has continually been hurt. Move on.

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

Plus, I get the added benefit of watching you go cuckoo crazy when I don't use it. 😆

What happens if a couple of guys get injured in training camp?

What happens if midway through camp, these young guys don't show the improvements that are expected of them?

I think it's a good idea to have Pickett and Jolly as 2 guys to fall back on if needed.

As much as I like the draft and develop system, sometimes a proven vet, even if he isn't what he used to be, can be an asset to a team.

Finley is a different story, I've stated before, I am in the camp that thinks The Packers will never clear him to play.

Well we will see where the depth is on the line after training camp/pre-season. Finley is going to be something very interesting. He's got a pretty crazy dilemma with a potential insurance claim or retiring.

Zero2Cool (6h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (6h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (9h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (9h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (12h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (12h) : 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

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?
