So much for him being the answer at ILB. Hopefully Ty Summers learns how to wrap up.

Third-year defensive back Josh Jones tweeted that the Green Bay Packers informed him he will be released on Sunday, ending a drama-filled offseason between the player and team.

too bad I hate to see high draft picks not make it through their rookie contract but they have to perform.

I wonder who they'll play at the hybrid S/LB spot now. It looks like Raven Greene is the #3 safety but isn't he more of a FS type? I guess they can play him more like a traditional S/slot CB type. Or maybe they play Amos at LB/S with the big nickel package?

I don't know much about the other safeties on the roster, does one of them fit the S/LB position?

Heard Jones refused to be that hybrid ILB guy. Which is weird, because that's the only place he didn't suck. Fuck that guy.

Really don't like the precedent of giving a whining player what they want, but unfortunately ones trade value becomes pretty much nil when they demand a trade and haven't done jack shit on the field. I suppose we could have waited until the end to cut him as a bit of payback, but let's move forward and hopefully find a guy that wants to be here.

Of course I wish they could have gotten something for them, but I like the policy of getting rid of malcontents.....its Lombardi like

But with all due respect, I believe he played his senior year of college football at LB (in a 4-3 OLB role), he loves to hit, he loves to be over aggressive (and not safe), and he hates to play things smartly when he can take a chance at an even bigger play.

To do that you better be extremely athletic for your position, and he's more athletic when comparing to LB than Safeties and he doesn't play safe... so everything has been screaming LB, not Safety.

I can see why nobody made a play for him. He showed his true colors while here.
I wouldn’t be in a hurry to sign a guy who whined his way out of a job.
Why should he change? His “big baby” act got him what he wanted.
I hope he crashes and burns.

Martha Careful (1h) : meh

Zero2Cool (5h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (5h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (5h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (8h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (8h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (11h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (11h) : 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.

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?
