I'm sure there are a lot of unemployed players out there that would love to play for the Packers. Lots of employed players too. Who wouldn't want to play for such a great organization, led by Ted Thompson!

Too short. Too old. Too slow.

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 was thinking maybe as a fill in coach, after all he did play with some of the best defenses in Baltimore and New York. He could teach our young guys some stuff about the 3-4 defense. It would have to be cheap though

I've never been a huge Jim Leonard fan but he's a vet that's carved out a decent career for himself despite some physical limitations. Not a bad type to have on your bench but I don't see him getting playing time over Hyde or Haha so it's almost not really worth the bother. If Richardson keeps showing promise in pre-season like he did in OTAs I would rather go with him. I'm not for the move but if it happens it won't really bother me, I see the benefit and he was certainly better than anything we put out there last year.

Seems he is always looking ahead and trying to cover any circumstance that could develope.

I put Leaonard in the group with Pickett, and Jolly(if cleared), veteran guys who, in a pinch, could come in in an emergency and at worst be a stop gap.

No harm in Ted making contact with Leonard and letting him know there's interest if there is a need.

I think the Packers have enough former Badgers. This guy has bounced around the last several years for a reason.

I really want to play for the Packers too, but I kind of lack the atheltism and talent to be considered. Who wants to write an article about my desire???

Zero2Cool (1h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (8h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

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

wpr (9h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (9h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (10h) : Who? What?

beast (19h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (23h) : meh

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

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

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

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.

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
