What do you all feel about Knile Davis? (what did we give up?)

The Packers kicked the tires on C.J. Spiller before he went to Seattle, so they clearly felt a need at running back.

They apparently addressed it today.

According to Terez Paylor of the Kansas City Star, the Chiefs have traded running back Knile Davis to the Packers.

He was surplus to needs in Kansas City once Tyreek Hill took over as the return man, since he was no better than their fourth option on offense. But in Green Bay, he has a shot to contribute.

Ahhh, the senile one has unearthed another hidden gem, like when he unearthed Schum.
Well at least he actually did something instead of just sitting on his thumb.

Packers acquired RB Knile Davis from the Chiefs.
The details of the deal have yet to be leaked, but they likely involve a late-round pick. With James Starks out a month, the Packers needed some depth behind banged-up starter Eddie Lacy. Davis is unlikely to be ready to contribute Thursday night, meaning Ty Montgomery should once again see plenty of snaps in the backfield. Oct 18 - 8:22 AM

It's probably the end for Starks. Maybe Davis can play CB too.

It’s a surprise in that I didn’t expect the Packers but it’s not a surprise in that we’ve talked about a Knile trade for a while. It was reported that he wanted a trade, that the Chiefs were talking to other teams as long ago as last year and then ... nothing happened. The Chiefs kept him until now.

Knile no longer had a role on the Chiefs offense with Jamaal Charles back and the emergence of Spencer Ware. Nor did he have a special teams role with Tyreek Hill’s abilities. They kept him on the roster despite many thinking he would get cut, apparently for a moment like this.

He was inactive last week. The Chiefs have three backs they like ahead of him. He is a good player with special teams value though. The Packers could do worse.

I hope they didn't give up too high of a pick for him.

Pretty sure every single one of us predicted the compensation here.

Knile Davis is in the final year of his 2013 rookie contract deal. (same as Eddie Lacy, I believe)

*a -.5 average in 2016 [2 for -1]
*with that speed only an 8.4 avg pass catching
*Receiving career reg. season: 46 targets, 31 catches, 4 drops, 2 fumbles, 1 TD [And big fumble in POs last year]
*Rushing career reg season: 233/775/3.3 avg, 4 fumbles, 11 TDs

The quality of his fumbles is amazing, a stiff breeze hitting his arm can cause them:

Playoffs v. NE

v. Bills

v. Colts

Andy Reid said it was a coaches decision for him not to play.

I like that the Packers are being proactive in improving the roster considering how beat up they are at RB. A 7th round pick isn't much if he can help stabilize the backfield.

All that being said I know virtually nothing about the guy but he's a former 3rd round pick so obviously some people think he has/had talent.

Mucky Tundra (7h) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (7h) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (7h) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (8h) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (8h) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (8h) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (8h) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (8h) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (8h) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (9h) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (9h) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Mucky Tundra (9h) : I'm rooting for the Lions to lose.

Mucky Tundra (11h) : "The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry."

Zero2Cool (12h) : Owner ... love it

Zero2Cool (12h) : Mayo was the guy they groomed for HC and one of the reasons they let Bill go.

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Pats have the #4 pick, lots of cap space and Maye at QB; should fetch some attention

Mucky Tundra (12h) : Well that didn't take long; Jerod Mayo out as Patriots HC

Zero2Cool (13h) : I would expect it to be higher in favor of Eagles

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Thst line seems...generous

Zero2Cool (13h) : Eagles -3.5 over Packers in Wildcard Round

Mucky Tundra (13h) : Did it though? Pokes beat the Commanders on the road with Cooper Rush previously

Zero2Cool (20h) : That gives them their best chance

Mucky Tundra (5-Jan) : Cowboys starting Trey Lance at QB vs Commanders; GB vs Philly in the Wild Card incoming!

Mucky Tundra (4-Jan) : Stinks for Lloyd. Hoping he comes back strong for next year

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Packers placed Marshawn Lloyd on reserve non-football illness list

Zero2Cool (3-Jan) : Luke Getsy been helping Packers defense. He's former OC Bears/Raiders and our old QB coach

beast (2-Jan) : Thanks dfosterf, I'm still kicking myself for last week, as I forgot to change to pick Vikings and Lions... after putting in a holding spot.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Pro Bowl still a thing? Guess Packers have three. Jacobs, Gary, McKinney.

dfosterf (2-Jan) : It's a mine field with all the players sitting, etc

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You can check previous seasons. I quick did it and don't think anyone hit 70% before

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

beast (2-Jan) : I don't care deeply, just want some good entertaining games

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.
