I wasn't even aware that Kuhn was white. I'm not happy, nor am I unhappy of his re-signing. He's not someone who made a plethora of bone headed plays, but I do remember a certain block on Julius Peppers that helped win a game and get the Packers into the post season.

Unless he's being paid $4 million or something absurd, I am indifferent on his signing.

I'm still amazed that people are stooping so low as to call Brett something other than his name, intentionally as if they are cute or clever or funny. To an outsider, we fans must look like real ungrateful idiots.

Then again ....

As for your blasphemy of a question, (how the hell can you not see the difference lol) if an outsider reads Packers fans blasting a Bears player, they probably think said Bears player must be good.

Back on topic, I think it is an excellent signing. Kuhn is an excellent pass blocker. Keeping Aaron upright is the #1 priority.

AND he signed the ultimate team-friendly deal. $ZERO guaranteed money. ZERO risk. Under the "aged veteran exemption" or whatever it is called his salary cap hit is only $610,000. If he can't make the 53 in training camp, or room is needed on the roster during the year, he can be cut with ZERO penalty to the team.

I never once insinuated that I was offended. But since Ted came around, can we get a count on how many of those guys turned into something?

He is relevant in this context, due to his membership in the social stereotype of "white trash" people.

He stands right now as the best player in the history of the NFL, although he may very well be passed up for that by Aaron Rodgers, and we are so BLESSED that BOTH of them are OURS. I really don't give a damn what "outsiders" think - about this or anything else, but the disrespect of such a Packer icon is WRONG just because it's WRONG.

Call me a homer, BTW (and I'll wear that as a badge of honor), but I see nothing wrong with intentional screwing up of names or any other form of disrespect for other teams' players/icons present or pass.

Calling him those names because you don't like the guy as a person (like a certain forum member's use of the name "Bert") is disrespectful and immature.

Zero2Cool (2h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (5h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (5h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (7h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (7h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (7h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (7h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (7h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (7h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (7h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (7h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (7h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (7h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (7h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (8h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (9h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (9h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (9h) : 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

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
