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...

Mucky Tundra (4h) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (7h) : HUMP DAY

beast (7h) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (7h) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (7h) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (7h) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (7h) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (7h) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (8h) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (8h) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (10h) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (10h) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (10h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (10h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (10h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (23h) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
