Ain't afraid to make changes.

The Packers have made an addition to their offensive backfield. The team announced that they have claimed running back Keith Ford off of waivers. Ford was dropped by the Colts on Monday so that they could sign D'Onta Foreman as a free agent. Ford played in two games with one start for the Bills last [more]

Thus ends the saga of Jason Spriggs. Must really like what they've seen in Alex Light as a back I'd guess.

Perhaps I am in the minority, but I thought Spriggs showed a ton of promise coming out of IU. There, he consistently played well against the top Big 10 competition. I'm not sure what happened.... coaching.... injuries, or whatever, but a high draft pick gone

So who is our LT2? Madison?

Wonder if Kizer is next.

Anybody who was drafted by Ted Thompson should be looking over his shoulder.
Except Aaron Rodgers of course.

I had hoped he would become a solid player for GB. The really sad part is not only is he a second round bust, Uncle Teddy moved up 9 spots to get him giving up their 2nd rounder along with a 4th and 7th round pick as well.

The funny parts of the trade are the 4th round selection by Indy was Antonio Morrison who ended up in GB via the Lenzy Pipkins trade. Indy's 7th round pick was Austin Blythe who didn't do much his 1st 2 seasons but was the starting center for the Rams last year.

Bulaga could play LT. Did so early in his career. We need a swing tackle tho.

wpr (2m) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (3m) : now 3

Zero2Cool (1h) : Who? What?

beast (9h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (14h) : meh

Zero2Cool (18h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (18h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (18h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21h) : Only 4

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

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.
