Once he is there, if a team shows interest, The Packers can offer him more than PS money if they want to keep him.

Always good to have a 3rd QB that is accesible.

Yeah, but will he clear waivers? And if he does, which practice squad will he sign with?
Saints reportedly want to resign him to their PS and the Packers probably do as well. It'll be interesting if one of the teams offers him main roster dollar value to stay around.

Also, while unlikely, the Packers could always claim him and released or IR someone... Packers do have a lot of S, DL and WRs right now and not all of them are healthy... also any word on Don Jackson's hand? Due to depth and injuries Banjo has played a surprisingly low 25 snaps so far. And Ringo and Lowry have been pushed further down the depth chart with Pennel's return.

If New Orleans doesn't want him. If no one else wants to sign him either how bad does GB really need him?

beast I am not saying I hate the kid. I am wondering if Packers fans are over estimating his abilities. If 31 GMs all take a pass what does the mean? I am sure he could sit on the bench for at least 1/5 of the teams. Then again what we see in TC practices and PS games is not the real NFL speed or talent.

NO, I'm not suggesting I have any idea who the next Kurt Warner will be... but Callahan look like he was shocking good at adjusting to things going wrong in front of him and making the necessary adjustments to give the play a chance of still working... especially shocking since he's only a rookie. Callahan isn't ready yet... but with some development he might become something (at the very least a good game management back-up QB that stays in the NFL a long time).

If no one else higher up puts in a claim they can get him back if they want him. If they don't put in a claim they may have to fight the Saints for a chance to resign him to the PS.
