Jordan Cameron wants out of Cleveland and is a free agent next month.

The guy is very talented (former probowler) and thrived on a brutal Cleveland team with very poor production from the QB position. It would seem logical he'd blow it up with an MVP QB like the guy we have.

It makes sense from the following...he's had multiple concussions so he might come cheaply. He could be used as a star stopgap or potential long term solution if brain health holds.

TE is the missing piece on offense...well, another stud WR would help and will be a necessity if Randall bolts.

Not sure I could stomach another season of the AQ/RR combo.

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've always been a fan of his but it is pretty concerning when a player misses 5 weeks from a concussion and has had a few in a short amount of time. Then again Rodgers' receivers don't typically get lit up making catches very often so this would be a good place for him to be for that aspect.

I think he would be a great option and I wouldn't mind seeing him in the green and gold at all

If he's a concussion risk, go with incentives based on games played, something like that.

Richard Rodgers is the real deal, but he's more Mark Bavaro than Keith Jackson.

Can he block on an onsides kick or catch a 4th quarter 3rd and 4 pass?

The Packers used a somewhat high draft pick on a Tight End last draft and considering Aaron Rodgers says "He's got incredible hands; I dare say the best hands on the team. He went through a stretch in training camp where he didn't drop a pass. Yeah, he's an exceptional player with great potential for us." I'm going to have to say Richard Rodgers will get every opportunity to win the starting spot.

If the Packers bring someone in, it will be someone at a bargain that has a big upside with little financial risk.

All logic would point towards what you said. However, [MM] loves TEs, and the organization has used two quality TEs in the past. I still put the odds at about 0.1% they'd go after Cameron, but as Jim Carrey would say, there's a chance.

It'll be interesting to see how he develops. He certainly has a good set of hands as he hauled in some passes in the last regular season game vs Detroit and at Seattle with guys on him as he doesn't know how to create separation yet. Production wise you really couldn't ask much more of him since rookie tight ends rarely put up big numbers.
