To anyone who says he could flop, or was a douche on the sidelines with a previous QB - you could be right.

....but I'm still doing my happy dance. I wish this was for more than 1 year because next year is already a nightmare for F.A. with the OL, Lacy, and Datone, but whatever, this guy has the potential to be pretty darn impactful

You know people will always find ways to complain, heck some fans even complain after winning games... because the game was within two touchdowns...

Who knows... they might have, and we just don't know about it. Green seemed pretty intent on joining the Steelers after seeing their offense and seeing their fans come to San Diego and basically turning it into a home game for the Steelers.

I think Thompson is still against the idea of one years deals (especially for outsiders), but he also has seen that it's a reality for FAs/agents that are surprised their market is so low and think it could make a huge jump with one great year. And Ted Thompson has started to give into the one year deal, which I believe started with CB Frank Walker in 2007, and has continued with Raji, and now guys like Perry and Cook.

Good deal. We needed a guy to stretch the middle of the field and this guy can do that.

I like this low risk move. My choice would have been Vernon Davis but Cook is younger. Great signing. The other bonus is that it gives us one more year to decide what we have in Richard Rodgers and Backman.

Low risk with the potential to add value at a needed position. I think Rodgers will make the best out of Cook. He can stretch the field down the middle and the safeties will have to decide to cover him or Jordy.
This will also stop teams from playing 1-high, which can help our run game. Skinny Eddie spinning around fools.

Found this interesting. "Ted Thompson made an offer immediately following the March 14 visit, then they waited while Cook tried to see if there was any other interest." from Rob Demovsky. So the Packers immediately pulled the trigger and it took a FREE AGENT two weeks to agree. And here I thought went down more like, you see a player, ink them and win the Super Bowl. Who knew these things happened like this?

Dwayne Allen: 4yrs $30 million
Coby Fleener: 5yrs $36.5 million
Ladarius Green: 4yrs $20 million

Pretty clear the Packers will be getting the most return on their investment.

Check this out! I wonder if he can do this with Aaron Rodgers?

He is really filling the void left by Quarless more than being an upgrade from Rodgers.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I called up Ted Thompson to get his comments on the signing of Jared Cook. Here is what he had to say:
Cheesey: Ted, I just wanted to congratulate you on the signing of tight end, Jared Cook! That was a great move!
Ted:"Tight END??? I thought I was getting help for the cafeteria!!! A new COOK! What have I DONE!?!?"
😝 😂

beast (2h) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (10h) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (15h) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (16h) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality

beast (23-Dec) : We already have told you... if Packers lose all their games (they won't, but if they did), and Buccaneers and Falcons win all theirs

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I posted it in that Packers and 1 seed thread

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I literally just said it.
