Agreed 100%, I imagine most of us, and obviously the front office are still intrigued by what he COULD become, though, but just hasn't been able to display yet.

For reasons like this, I wish the PS could be expanded a little not just in numbers, but who is eligible. I feel like Sherrod has been Abby just on a longer time frame. Unfortunately for him I don't think he's PS eligible, so after being cut by the Chiefs now, he's probably SOL unless someone wants to take a big chance with him on waivers.

I checked on Neal and Crockett, but didn't see anything of them signing with another team.

Abbrederis didn't deserve to make the roster this year. I think he has the ability to play in the NFL and be a very good punt returner and chain moving possession receiver type of guy. Let's hope he makes the most of his opportunity.

Abby, Ringo and Vaughters were the only ones I was really hoping we would keep so I'm happy about that.

Packers.com announced the practice squad... they added one outsider in CB Daniel who was from BYU and signed as an UDFA with the Raiders. They only announced 9 and I think they still have one spot open, I wonder if they might try to sign White to that spot.

WR Jared Abbrederis
LB Carl Bradford
RB John Crockett
CB Robertson Daniel
TE Justin Perillo
DT Christian Ringo
G Matt Rotheram
LB James Vaughters
T Jeremy Vujnovich

Rajion Neal was signed to another team's practice squad, I think it was Miami.

Pinkard is the waived/IR list... which means his agent and the Packers are going to have to come to an agreement on how many weeks are the Packers going to pay Pinkard to heal. After that runs up he'll become a FA, able to sign with any team other than the Packers, and then 6 weeks after that he could then sign with the Packers (that's in place to stop team from using the waived/IR list to hide players on that they want to keep)... so it'll be a bare minimum 6 weeks before they could place him there (probably longer) so they could take a look at another guy in the mean time.

I think White would qualify for one more year, but I'm not sure either, and as others have talked about, after getting cut last minute he's probably going to be upset... and might try to look else where... if anywhere else is interested that is.

They could also be saving the spot for whom ever they plan to release once Datone comes back (if they can be signed to the practice squad at least).

wpr (10h) : 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

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.
