The Bears placed Alshon Jeffery on injured reserve and it's been speculated he might not be back with the Bears next season. The Bears have promising WR Kevin White who should be healthy next season.

Jeffery is 6' 3" and clocked a 4.48 forty yard dash.

Jeffery is a free agent after the conclusion of this season.

If Packers offered him a two-year prove it contract, that'd be nice. Imagine him with Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb and Ty Montgomery.

2012 10 games 24 receptions 367 yards 3 TD
2013 16 games 89 receptions 1,421 yards 7 TD
2014 16 games 85 receptions 1,133 yards 10 TD
2015 9 games 54 receptions 807 yards 4 TD

14.8 career average yard per catch

However, we do have two receivers making $9M+ a year. I expect Jeffery is going to want big money. Could we really tie up upwards of $30M a year on three receivers? Maybe. I'd still rather spend that money on a left tackle if one is available. That said, I don't yet know the league-wise projected free agents next year.

Get a TE who can run down the seam.

I get that someone will overpay, but there's a lot of value to playing in a team with Aaron Rodgers in it. Ask Randall Cobb.

I'm all for loading up the skill positions, but it seems to me our offensive line needs some new talent first.

If for some reason Jordy wasn't going to make it back that would be an idea. But for the amount of money he is going to garner, we won't be able to afford him. And I doubt he would be wanting to be third fiddle on the team to Jordy and Cobb.

Sounds good - but I have to agree that the money he would want might be too much. With Nelson and Jones getting older, it should be at least a thought to bring in a proven player.

My concerns are more about the OL. If Rodgers isn't afforded a little more time to throw, it won't make much difference having another WR. I am aware of the opinions of him holding the ball too long, but that is a whole different topic. You buy him more time and he will play better, as will any QB.

The cheap route has caught up to this team - time for Ted to spend a few bucks and keep his QB off the turf. Everything starts at the line, offense or defense.

I believe the money would be better spent upgrading BOTH tackle positions to try to keep Rodgers from getting killed.

Figured when I wrote "If Packers offered him a two-year prove it contract", that it would be enough indication that the question posed was assuming it was a cap friendly number for the Packers. Guess not, lol.

Zero2Cool (1h) : That gives them their best chance

Mucky Tundra (14h) : Cowboys starting Trey Lance at QB vs Commanders; GB vs Philly in the Wild Card incoming!

Mucky Tundra (16h) : Stinks for Lloyd. Hoping he comes back strong for next year

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Packers placed Marshawn Lloyd on reserve non-football illness list

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Jaire had surgery, season over.

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : I guess I need a new sig Pic. Boo

Mucky Tundra (1-Jan) : Eric Dickerson approves of this decision

beast (1-Jan) : Eagles are resting RB Saquon Barkley, so there is no chance he breaks the record despite being just 101 yards from it

Zero2Cool (1-Jan) : Patriots are waiving veteran pass rusher Yannick Ngakoue

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

beast (31-Dec) : Let's win one! Also, hopefully the Irish will stand with Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?
