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???

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Hope to see everyone in the Chat tonight!!! Go Pack Go!!!

TheKanataThrilla (5h) : Jeanty would be a great pick-up for the Bears. I see Warren mocked to them as well who I think would be a great selection.

Zero2Cool (6h) : GameDay Chat is open. Posting bits an tids in there.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Excellent Source: The Bears have a deal in place to move up to 5 if Jeanty is there.

Zero2Cool (6h) : Probably not until 10pm will be making pick

dfosterf (8h) : But it is still not tonight. Lol

wpr (8h) : Today is finally here.

dfosterf (9h) : I'm not assuming anything

beast (15h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (20h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (20h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (21h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (23-Apr) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (23-Apr) : Tomorrow is almost here.

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

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : 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.

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
