Green Bay Packers: Three veterans who might not make the team

Green Bay Packers are a young team, and since Ted Thompson took over as GM for the team more than 12 years ago, that trend has been continuous. Don't expect any changes as the Packers' roster develops into this summer and the 53-man roster takes shape at the end of August. With a draft and

Guion won't make the team but it isn't because of a youth movement.

Janis flashes potential but falls short.

Rodgers makes the team.

Time to move on from Richard Rodgers?
Can't see the Packers keeping 3 TE's?

I'm not going to bust my brain trying to figure out the final "63" this year, but I will definately say that The Packers are not ready to move on from Richard Rodgers.

We learned last year 2 really good TE's was better than 1.

Only goes to say that 1 Great TE and 2 really good TE's is better than 2 really good TE's.

The only way Guion stays is if there are multiple injuries at the position in TC through week 5.
Ted re-structured his contract so they can keep him on through the first 4 weeks without hurting the Salary cap.

I guess with Janis it comes down to is the last WR spot available(6th or 7th), more important than Jeff Janis being one of the best Gunners in the league.

When games start to count, it's going to be Jordy, Randall and Davante on the field, the rest will be playing mostly Special teams.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

The aggressive signing of two FA TEs tells me that they want to run more 2 TE sets, and combined with a RB who is also a WR, that gives you a huge amount of run/pass variability without substitutions. Hard to match up against or predict.

Anyway, saying that, I think they keep Rodgers as insurance.

Btw, I don't think Jordy's a lock to make this team.

The 2 TEs we signed makes it much less likely than in prior years that we keep 6-7 wrs. Imo

Jordy not making the team???
I would be SHOCKED if he didn't. He showed he still had "it" last year, and Aaron Rodgers still trusts him. I'd expect even more out of Nelson this season, as he's one more year removed from that awful injury, and should be more self assured of it not causing any problems for him.
Just my humble opinion of course!

If, as I suspect, the Packers do install more 2 TE plays, it could become an important part of GB's 2017 Offensive Strategy . Keeping just 2 TE's with the possibly of loosing one to injury could adversely impact that strategy.

Keeping 3 TE's and rotating them all in and out of games would ensure that if one suffers an injury, that GB will not suffer loosing that portion of the playbook. The train could keep plowing forward.

Janis and Guion will need to win a spot on GB's roster . I'm not sure that they will succeed .

Janis sucks fuck that guy. You all called for Bush's head for years and he was 10x the gunner Janis is. I don't understand the fascination you all have with our 6 and 7th receivers year after year

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : 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
