Well here we are just days into the start of another season. News reports have placed some Packer players in a bad light this offseason. Two with a suspension to start the season and one with a suspension to be named later.  Not a good off season for that nonsense at all. All I’ll say about

Of these I think Vaughters has the best shot. I'd like to see him and Crockett in game situations though. Should be an interesting preseason.

I've been disappointed so far with ILB Tavarus Dantzler... I didn't think he'd be ready his rookie year but I thought his overall athletic talents would allow him to flash here and their enough to get him a ST role and maybe the 4th ILB spot as guy that might become better with more training but haven't heard a thing about him, I'm guessing because he hasn't stood out in anything.

OLB James Vaughters has flashed some potential and I think he could keep the streak of UDFA OLB making it as a rookie alive for the Packers if one of the other OLBers isn't healthy (like Neal isn't now) or if they decide the talent isn't good enough at ILB and go light there counting on Matthews to help out there.

I haven't seen RB John Crocket on the healthy for the Packers.

RB Alonzo Harris has surprised me with some good hard runs. And I wouldn't say most of the time but once in a while he reminds me of Starks, I think it's the high stance and the times when defenders look like they might a clear hit to his thigh pads but looks like they both just slash right off those and keep chunning.

Also the write brings up Vince Kowalski... I really enjoy his college film, clearly not ready for the NFL yet but he's physical and plays mean and looks like he could very well develop into goo depth at least at OG. But I think he'll have a hard time sticking because he's got a concussion right now, I think he's listed as an OT on the depth chart and not sure he's athletic enough for that position in the NFL and because based on some light reports it sounds like last year OGs in Taylor and Walker have shown a lot of improvement from last year so between them Barclay and Tretter, guys who can play back-up OG is pretty stacked right now. They need to find a guy they can develop at OT for back-up sake if not more. And yes there is Barclay who's a great battler but he's needs help at OT in pass protection most of the time at least against above average pass rushers.

wpr (4h) : now 3
Zero2Cool (5h) : Who? What?
beast (14h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (18h) : meh
Zero2Cool (22h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026
Zero2Cool (22h) : It's so awesome.
Zero2Cool (22h) : new site fan shout post fast
wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am
wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
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
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
