Not a huge surprise. I hope he catches on with someone.

The Packers have decided against tendering DuJuan Harris a contract for next season.

This dude was gonna be our version of "Darren Sproles." Seems like he fell off the face of the Earth along with Bostick.

I think Lacy and Starks had something to do with Harris not getting many chances.

Frank Gore just balked at signing with Philly, Kelly is going to be looking for a R now,RB could Harris will get a call?

He will find job somewhere.

Good guy with talent.

If the market is soft out there, which it appears it might be (think Murray) then it is possible that he may be brought back.

If not.. hope the young man catches on with a club.. impressive initial burst.

Hope he catches on with a team outside the NFC North. I don't want to sound critical, but he seemed like a guy we missed the boat on. I don't think we got the most out of him that we could have. Maybe I am guilty of over-evaluating his talent, but he seemed like a guy that could have been used as a nice compliment to Lacy. Like others I envisioned that Sproles type of back and have him as a screen weapon. Perhaps Starks made him redundant, but it seemed a waste to have him primarily in the return game where he was less talented than Hyde.

Just because a RB is small doesn't mean they're in through Sproles mold... Sproles doesn't have Harris toughness or power to run up the middle with a tiny hole (and Harris did have power... not compared to Lacy but compared to other guys his size he did). And Harris doesn't move or catch the ball like Sproles.

If you want a Sproles type, then hope the Packers sign RB Reggie Bush...

packerfanoutwest (14h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (14h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (16h) : 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.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

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
