The more I think about this, the more I like it. Bennett was a better blocker but wasn't going to get open like Jimmy can. We just need a sure-fire guy to complement Davante with suddeness, height, and power, and we'll finally be able to beat these teams we haven't been able to beat in the last 8 years.

Loyalty and tributes have their place at banquets and parades, but to win in the NFL that must be set aside in favor of fielding the best team that one can. Releasing Jordy Nelson was the correct thing for BG to do. CBs were finding it increasingly less of a task to to defend him in spite of his above average route running skills. He has gone to play for the Raiders and I wish him well as GB is not scheduled to play them this year.

Next, GB saved $10 + million that enabled BG to sign TE Jimmy Graham and improve the team. After all improving the team is the #1 job of any GM. and IMO, BG is doing just that.

I still have, and always will have, unending respect for Bart Starr and Ray Nitschke and Randy White and many others that played for the Packers. Yet time and death await us all and sometimes we just have to put on our big boy pants and move forward in the best interest of "The Team".

You're making excuses for one side that in reality work for both sides. Packers are a business, BUT so are individual contractors, such as players. It's all business so that excuse doesn't work.

Nelson got paid well, but the Packers also got some damn good results from him too, so again that again is a wash. And when Nelson signed that contract many were surprised it was so low... claiming Nelson clearly left money on the table as WRs of his talents were getting a good bit more elsewhere.

We are Packers fans and we do love our team. But that doesn't mean we can't love our players as well. Nor does it mean our team is always right.

If the Packers asked Nelson to reduce his salary to 50% he probably would... but less than 20%... when he probably would be a starter? I don't think there is a single person that would do that...

(Tom Brady doesn't count as he was the very poor one in his marriage)

Listened to the interview at work. It's clear the Packers wanted to go in another direction. It wasn't just about the $$$

dfosterf (16h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

dfosterf (16h) : I accept Beast's admonishment regarding my failure to link stuff I reference. I simply never learned to link from my cell phone.

beast (16h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down

Zero2Cool (21h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"

Zero2Cool (21h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol

Mucky Tundra (22h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me

dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
