This could actually help him make the team for another year, then come back next year with many more repetitions (albeit in practice) under his belt.

He probably wasn't going to contribute much as a WR anyway so the question becomes how does this impact our special teams. Could be the death knell for him as it will give someone else a chance to become the STs ace making Janis expendable. If we end up IRing him he'll likely stick around because of the cheap potential but if he goes into next year with another guy taking over his STs role it will mean he will have even more pressure to produce as a WR.

How long is he supposed to be out? A broken finger or bone in the hand usually takes about 2 months to heal no? So maybe he's a PUP candidate and they bring him back during the season?

Edit: I see it was posted in another thread that he can't be placed on the PUP, is it because he's been active in practice? Sucks because this seems like the ideal injury to put someone on the PUP, a couple month rather low risk injury before pre-season has really started shouldn't be enough to end someone's year.

But given Janis's bubble status and the depth at WR I imagine that's what they'll do (IR).

I think he's one of the best gunners in the NFL... and with the Packers lack of depth at CB (which normally play the gunner role) the Packers could use Janis at gunner to keep Randall/Rollins off of gunner duties. Heck with Janis injured and Goodson suspended, Randall and Rollins might be forced into gunner duties the first couple of weeks anyways... unless one of the UDFA can step up and do it well.

dfosterf (37m) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (38m) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (40m) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (43m) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (46m) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (46m) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (48m) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (50m) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (51m) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (1h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (1h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (1h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (3h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (3h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (3h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (18h) : 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?

Zero2Cool (1-Apr) : uh oh

Martha Careful (1-Apr) : Too bad camera's can't spot the ball as well.

Mucky Tundra (1-Apr) : So will the chain gang be gone completely or will they still be around as a backup or whatever?
