Like others have been saying. The salary cap makes this deal impractical. The Packers would have to make cuts at other positions to be able to afford him.

"But Bigbyfan, JJ Watt is one of the best players in the league and would be worth it. Ted Thomason is just being his typical cheap self!!!"

Yes he is great. Please tell me how much Watt is helping the Texans win right now. Please tell me how he has made that defense into a force.... it's okay, I'll wait.

I don't think there was any purpose to that article other than to generate website hits. Teams just don't trade the face of the franchise. And picks in the 30's aren't even considered first round picks to a team like the Texans.

The article was trades a certain someone would like to see. I'm not sure why folks always gotta get all sensitive and run the "it'll never happen" gambit. Seriously, lighten up and toss it around. Have some fun, jeepers.

If the Packers were to trade for J.J. Watt I would prefer them trade Clay Matthews III straight up. Watt is about three years younger, by all accounts has two healthy hamstrings and has started every game of his career. The salary cap should nearly be a wash, although I'm just guessing on that. And I still believe that a dominate DL will improve the LB which will improve the Secondary.

I would also throw in Scott Tolzien to give Texans a more legitimate player at Quarterback.

We proved last year we don't need him.

We just need to stop shitting ourselves, at some point.

JJ Watt for Matthews would be something I could get behind though I'd imagine there'd be some other pieces involved.

love to see him as a packer, however we all know ted would never give up draft choices, and for good reason, look at all the picks that are starters here !!

Every year NFL media talks up these big name trade deadline deals and every year neither the Packers or any other team makes any deals.

I'd trade a first round pick for Joe Thomas in a second. I would then put him on a plane and have him play tonight

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : @kuhnj30 Micah Freaking Parsons
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : A LOT of buzz on the Bird App regarding Parsons; even Schefter is saying it's serious
dfosterf (26-Aug) : *Orzech*
dfosterf (26-Aug) : Orzich long snapper 3 yr extension
