It's a low risk thing for Denver but Davis has been one of the least productive TEs in the league the last couple of years

So basically a 6th round pick for Vernon Davis. Seeing this I have to say there is no way the Packers were even remotely involved in the talk for Vernon Davis.

49ers get
2016 6th round pick
2017 67th round pick

Broncos get
TE Vernon Davis
2016 7th round pick

Being from the Bay Area, I watch Niners games more than I should.

This has "Moss to New England" all over it. Vernon Davis hasn't been used properly ever since Kaepernick became QB. Even in Kaepernick's prime, he never knew how to throw a touch pass. Whenever he did throw to Vernon, it was either an overthrown ball, or he put it in a dangerous place where Davis would get rocked. The result? Vernon would either drop it, not try to get it, or catch it and then get killed. Watch any game where the played the Seahawks, and you'll see Kam Chancellor literally beating the living hell out of Vernon Davis.

Maybe that's part of it. He was hurt a lot, but Kaepernick has never done him any favors.

Kubiak's offense is very TE heavy, and I envision this to be nothing but awesome for Denver.

Nah, Ted Thompson likes to sit with his thumb up his ass while wearing nothing but a T-shirt that says "next man up"...

Dont count on us trading or signing anyone to help better our team.

dfosterf (2h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (2h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (7h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (9h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (11h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (11h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (11h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (11h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (13h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

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
