Irrefutably true that Ted Thompson will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

Green Bay Packers General Manager Ted Thompson has led the franchise to one of the most successful runs in league history. The Packers have made the playoffs for seven consecutive seasons (tied with the Patriots for the longest active streak).

If Jerry Kramer can't get into Canton, I see no reason why Thompson should be inducted.

At this point I'm not sure. I do not think he is as good as Wolfe was.

TeddyT has a conservative approach and he sticks to it no matter what. Sort of like a one trick pony but since they win during the regular season no one cares.

I think we are lucky to have both Wolfe and TT. I believe each was/is better in his era. Wolfe looked to spend to get players and did, he wouldn't be able to do that as readily now. Ted Thompson is much more frugal and wouldn't have built what Ron did.
Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I give Ted lots of credit for keeping the team young, keeping the team in great Cap space. But the big question with Ted is, what would he have done or do, if he didn't have HOF QB play his entire time. It is much easier to field good teams with you never have to worry about the QB spot.

    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) : 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?
