good point about the pro bowl RP. I never thought of it. Reggie White's decision to come to Green Bay was worth way more then just the talent he brought. He changed the way free agents look at Green Bay

I could not really give a hill of beans who wins the Pro Bowl, but one thing I wish and hope for is that Green Bay's contingent has been doing their job in Hawaii OFF THE FEILD....... Selling Green Bay Of Course.

My friend Hazer, would probably say it would be a waste of time and effort for Collins, Harris, and Woodson, but I hope they are doing a great JOB SELLING PLAYING IN GREEN BAY. It would make Ted's job a little easier.

However, I think it goes beyond that. any time you get that many leaders and pro bowlers in that atmosphere, I would hope that it would be a priority for Harris, Chuck, and Collins to sell Green Bay. To take away the myth that Green bay might as well be Greenland on the world map of the NFL.

There are 11 free agents in Hawaii I believe. Yes some may be tagged, but still.... Sell Green Bay.

I wonder if the Packers as an organization mentioned this to them. Asked them to bring the Positives Of Green Bay To Hawaii?

What do you think? Did They?

I actually brought that in another thread when i saw Portis recruiting hard and how TJ whosyourmamma is pushing to goto the Eagles and Fat Albert was pushing to goto the Colts. I wish we had someone there to push us but like i have said the circus last year and the bad image people (like me) have of Ted Thompson I think could hurt us. I said it back then and i still stand by it but i hope i'm wrong. Ted Thompson no matter what everyone tries to say is not a players gm and don't give to shits about them he looks at bargains and the money situation.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

also I bet Thompson does give a shit about the players. Just he treats them like men and does baby them. And yes of course he does his job (which is part of the whole money thing).

Oh crap i did put coach ill have to fix that. I take it you didn't like my opinion that last years circus will hurt us with possible free agents?

I don't know why you would think that. I've been saying for years the Brett Favre has been hurting GB to bring in FAs with all the I'm not sure I will be coming back..... FAs have said they might of come to GB if they knew Favre was going to be back but they didn't know.

I think last years circus started after most of FA was over but after it started yes it hurt if there were any UFA.

I'm not sure if it would effect us for the future. I think it wouldn't that much since Rodgers looked very good.

Maybe it could actually help.
Other players will see Ted Thompson as not playing favorites, and treating all players the same.
The "circus" wasn't all just TT's fault. I think the players see that, even if some fans don't.

The one that intrigues me is Julius Peppers. He has clearly stated he wants to play in a 3-4 defense (probably outside linebacker), has stated he wants to play in Dom Capers defense (in a roundabout way)...

will we make a run at him? If we think Kampman is a natural for a 3-4 DE, I don't see how Thompson/McCarthy/Capers could say that Peppers isn't.

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?
