I remember seeing a handful or so, not most. And I also remember being confused by those few select people who were surprised. Between the two, neither of them was substantially better than the other. I think Goodson was hurt and maybe they felt 'hey we know what Rolle can do, its not much, maybe Goodson will be better' or something like that.

I mean really, he was what the 5th or 6th CB? It's not like they were ruining the future of the team by deciding on one over the other.

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."

That is exactly what Uffda did.

I said Goodson may never be a starter for The Packers or he could become the next Sam Shields.

Big difference in the half quote he posted .

I am not going to join in in his long winded same old bullshit posts, but if he feels the need to quote me then it would be nice if he included the entire post.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

This whole story is very simple, folks. kool-aid wants Ted Thompson fired.

We will never know why Ted Thompson made the decision he did. Anyone can say it was for whatever reason they want and can't be proven wrong.

Any GM who would keep a 6th round draft pick to save face, while cutting a SFA that is clearly superior in every way (upside included) should be fired. So ol' kool-aid claims Ted Thompson kept Goodson over Rolle to save face.

July 2014 - Ted Thompson is extended all the way through the 2018 season

August 2014 - CB Jumal Rolle released

Why would Thompson need to cut ties with Rolle (who was added to Practice Squad days later) to save face?

The Packers probably felt putting an un-drafted free agent on the Practice Squad would be easier to stash than a draft selection. Thus, Goodson was kept on the 53 and Rolle was not.

Who is kept and who is not is not all on Ted Thompson by any means. The coaching staff has a role in this as well. No one knows the players and what they see in them more than the position coaches. The Packers happen to have a very solid guy coaching the CB's and you can bet his thoughts on who should ultimately stay or go have a huge amount of weight.
At the 7th round or UDFA level the one with the higher potential and ceiling probably gets the nod and no one here can convince me they know more about this than the coaches and I highly doubt Ted is standing in the corner saying he's going to keep this guy or that guy and doesn't care what the coaches think.

I also think the Packers have done a great job of drafting and developing CB's so I will just trust in the process they go by. Especially when you consider the top three or four are gone by the time they ever get to pick and that will be the case this year as well.

I just hope Goodson can come in an contribute on special teams and line up in the Dime occasionally and not get torched every time. If he does anything other than that great, but I don't expect anything more than a special teamer and part time package player.

Zero2Cool (3m) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (3h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (3h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (4h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (4h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (4h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (5h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (5h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (5h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (5h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (5h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (5h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (5h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (5h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (7h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (7h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (7h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (23h) : 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?
