But, he wont stay on the field weighing more than Jabba the Hut and there in no OL in Seattle, so he's gonna have to do it on its own.

Agreed it i'd be nice to have more than Monty. But, we could thrive with Ripkowski as single back, RBs are a dime a dozen and rookies can play right away. Oh, and Starks still isn't signed 😊.

And btw, Don Jackson is gonna YOTTO!

I still kind of wish they'd give Christian Michael a chance to compete for a roster spot. The guy is pretty explosive.

I liked him and his mad bull running style. But it's true he couldn't stay healthy or push himself away from the dessert tray.

I know one thing, if everything remains the same, if I'm a priority UDFA, I'm goin' to GB. Michael is a guy that's just gonna take alot longer to "get it," and not only is he explosive, he doesn't have a lot of mileage on the wheels.

After being publicly declared a fatty last year. And since week 5 under the care of a rehab trainer constantly telling you the less weight the better and faster you will heal; and knowing that every pound over 230 is going to cost you 100K and he still has to have a full prime rib dipped in chocolate sauce for dessert after every meal; Lacy is just a loser.

Oh and I'd bet for the last week or 2 Lacy scarfed a dump truck full of diuretics and dropped 10-15-20 lbs of water weight. As we speak I'd bet he's 10lbs heavier. And with the $3M bonus he can now buy 875,145 more hot fudge sundays.

Do Apete or Jamal Charles have more left than Don Jackson can give?

Dunno man. I'd bring one of them in and let them compete, if the price is right. 👍

Peterson is toast. Jamaal Charles is a speed back who is now 30 coming off two ACL tears. Don Jackson should never see a starting lineup in his career.

The Packers can get by with what they have at RB along with a rookie, but they can't get by with what they have on defense. I'm not optimistic they are going to do anything more than plug rookies in to fill the gigantic holes. The defense will continue to be horrible and people will continue to blame Aaron Rodgers.

I agree with what you on Lacy. I'm helping drive the fat joke train but I'm not happy seeing him go to a key NFC rival. He's still an effective back that defenders in the second level don't want to see coming at them. As maddening as his apathy can be, he can be good.

Michael is apparently one of the dimmer bulbs in the aisle at Lowes but he's still a hell of an athlete I feel the Packers could have utilized better last year. Would like to see him back as well, as frustrating as he can be.

Don Jackson gets 4.5 per carry, book it!

    Zero2Cool (3h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
    dfosterf (7h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
    dfosterf (7h) : Trade, cut or keep
    dfosterf (8h) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (8h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (8h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (8h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (8h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (8h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (8h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (8h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
    dfosterf (8h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
    Zero2Cool (9h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (9h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (9h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (9h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (11h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (11h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
    dfosterf (11h) : 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?

    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?
