Clay's pretty versatile. It would be interesting to see why they think he's overpaid. Hasn't gotten the sacks arguably because he moved inside. Don't think it's the same D without him.

He hasn't wowed me for a while. But hopefully he will return to previous form.

He's starting to miss more tackles every year too. Yeah, he's definitely overpaid, and his contract should be subject to a renegotiation. He's still a very good player though, and he has the kind of nasty you want out of your defensive players.

For that kind of money I want to be him to be more of a factor in playoff games. Him on the sidelines as our team collapses against the Seahawks is a hard image for me to shake.

If they admit he had a concussion at that point they are in big trouble. I can't find the play but he collided with Luke Wilson and was grabbing his head just laying on the ground. I'm pretty sure that was the last play before the final 2 drives he missed but yeah I'm sure he was really just getting looked at for a knee or taking a breather... 😎

Mother Mary Of Jesus... Some football fans freaking amaze me.

Based on what I read on many football forums, many posters... smack their 5 year old child for spilling their milk, Scream at the wife if the eggs are not as tasty as when they were first married.

How about one fucking post here stating... Clay has been a trooper, has a great attitude. Has been unselfish, Did not go to the press about loss of personal sack stat numbers to take one for the team and move inside last year.

Clay has been a consummate teammate and team player for his teammates in the locker room, for the Packers organization, and for every single Packer season ticket holder and fan of the team.

However..... That all means shit, it means fuck all actually, for the "What have you done for me lately mind set of a true non loyal and disrespectful fan of their team."

Zero2Cool (5h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (9h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (9h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (10h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (10h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (10h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (10h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (10h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (10h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (10h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (10h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (10h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (11h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (11h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (11h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (11h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (12h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (12h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (12h) : 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?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
