He played well last year. He was a playmaker. He might not be as good as people think. I certainly don't believe he's an elite safety, but he's a solid starter and for that reason, GB should be looking to keep him.

I'm probably more so looking at it like this. Who do we have that is better than Nick Collins for that position? He might not be a top five safety, but he's surely one of the two best ones we have, if not the best.

I'm fine with it until he starts skipping OTAs, then I will start to get upset. :whipitgood:

I have stated it before, franchise have no loyalties to its players due to it being a business. A player gets hurt and the team can cut them easily. This is just a player looking out for his long term future. Nick Collins is going into his last year of his deal and wants the Packers to AT LEAST talk to him about a new contract. I doubt it is as much about money and more about years, even though money sweetens it up a lil 😉

If this does become a money matter, as long as he doesn't take it to the media like Javon Walker and Mike McKenzie did and demand a trade, then I think he has every right to sit out.

I used to be one of the people who dogged him, but to be clear, it was NOT because of his tackling. The guy can tackle. He can defend the run.

My beef was he would drop INTs. '08, he changed that, got 7, and ran 3 back for TDs.

I'd hate to lose this guy. He's far from reaching his peak.

The running joke for me with Nick Collins was he has to have two passes fall out of his hands before he starts racking up interceptions. It happened several times too!

I don't want to make it sound like I'm being critical of Nick Collins. I think he's a solid player and I want the Packers to sign him long term, but he did kind of struggle down the stretch last year and he shouldn't be paid as a top 5 safety. He's not that, but he is worth more than he's making right now and the Packers not talking to him is ridiculous on their part. I think it's a slap in the face in some ways.

It wasn't about him wearing the Pro Bowl jersey, it was about all the other guys in the Pro Bowl he was playing with saying how he's not paid like a Pro Bowl player.

Andrew Brandt said it himself--he hates it when his own guys go to the Pro Bowl.

C'mon guys. Let's wait to hear something from Nick's own mouth before we start piecing together what's going on with him.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : *winning MVP

Mucky Tundra (2h) : Funny observation I've heard: Carson Wentz was on the sideline for both Eagles Super Bowl wins w/guys supposed to be his back up winning

Zero2Cool (7h) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (7h) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (7h) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (7h) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (7h) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (7h) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (17h) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (17h) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (17h) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (19h) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (19h) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (19h) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (19h) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (19h) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (19h) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (20h) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (20h) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (20h) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (20h) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (20h) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (20h) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (20h) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (20h) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (20h) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (20h) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (20h) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (20h) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (20h) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (20h) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (20h) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs

Mucky Tundra (20h) : this game is over

Mucky Tundra (21h) : This might be the kill shot here

Mucky Tundra (21h) : oh that's such a bad penalty for KC after getting the 3rd down stop

TheKanataThrilla (21h) : Philly DL has come to play

TheKanataThrilla (21h) : Ceoper DeJean with the INT scored...bad memories of draft night
