Let's get Tony Gonzalez so Aaron can throw to him

Let's get Tony Gonzalez in here.

He's still effective, he would make a match up nightmare given
the receivers we have as well. Aaron can rely on Tony as his
failsafe down the middle of the field.

We could trade Brohm, and a conditional pick and the Chiefs would
jump at it. Heck..they might even want to throw in Brody Croyle
or Thigpen back at us

I don't think we can get anything for Brohm. Let's not forget, he's officially our #3.

I still think Donald Lee is underrated by us Packers fans and Finley's developing fast. I don't think TE is a need. If anything, we need to utilize our TEs more like we did in '07. We ought to take our '08 playbook and throw it out the window, then go back to our '07 playbook, a playbook that kept our O on the field and let our D rest. It was also more aggressive, which I liked way more.

I agree. I hope McCarthy is going to use the 07 playbook more and
loosen the reins on Aaron and let him be aggressive.

I think the 08 playbook was to help a young QB, but they should be okay now to really challenge defense..

Ted Thompson would never trade for Tony Gonzales.

That is correct, since the Chiefs owner stated Tony isn't going anywhere...

But I would love to trade for Brian Waters off that line.. he wants out as well and Hunt basically hinted that they would move him..

Ted Thompson will not trade for any current NFL Player. He is going to go with the players he has selected in the draft. Finley will have a chance to showcase his talents this season.

Whoops.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

I agree about Finley. He has tons of potential and I think he'll be a pretty good TE in a year or two. Donald Lee will suffice till that point. I guess I'm one of the guys who underrates him.

Tony would make our passing game pretty feared, but still, he is 33 year olds. You have to be sure you can make a run at a championship if you give up something for a guy like that.

Brohm going there, I wouldn't mind that much. Thigpen deserves to start somewhere and Croyle would hardly be an upgrade over Flynn, I think.

The deal was done and KC's GM came back at the last minute and upted the price (draft pick) AFTER he had already agreed to the deal.

It's not TT's doing that this guys not already a Packer.

beast (12h) : 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

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?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
