Any truth to this? Only other thing I can find is on a Vikings board.

If there is any truth to this, do you think the raiders told him he will be cut and are giving him the chance to do this instead? I would think James Jones would be breaking this news if it were true

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I think the Raiders still have his rights till the end of the season

I'd put Cobb on IR and see if we can get Jordy for a conditional 7th.

If true, I'm thinking it's because Nelson is thinking I signed for a second year with this team and they're rebuilding and I can't take it... if he stays active, I think they'll release his contract and that MIGHT make him more interested in keep playing... to play for a team that isn't rebuilding.

I still think Rodgers/Nelson in the redzone could have helped this team a hell of a lot... as they just seem to be able to force it being on the same page, even when the CB has good coverage... he might be the red zone specialist. Though I honestly don't think Gute will sign him, just talking.

When have I ever lamented our lost players on this forum? And please don't try and say I hate anyone on this team. I questioned the choice of Cobb over Nelson. Some people will fight to the end that management made the right choice even with its obvious that Cobb is a shell of his former self and even on a shitty Raiders team it Jordy is still outperforming him.

dfosterf (1h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (1h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (6h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (9h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (10h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (11h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (11h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (11h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (13h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

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
