Maybe being with a great QB like Rodgers will step up his game.
You have to keep in mind the QBs he played with.
Maybe the Packer brass see something in this guy that intrigues them.
Low cost move with possible dividends.
I like this kind of move.
And just because he signed doesn’t mean he’ll make the final 53.
The more guys you can look at, the better your chance is at finding a hidden gem.

He certainly can’t be any worse than Allison, MVS, or Kumerow. Instant upgrade simply because our receiving group sucks.

Funchess is a guy I wanted when he came out of Michigan.
I was looking at him as a tight end at that time.
Going to be interesting to see how he pans out.

He will be fine. He's a solid #2 receiver. For the most part he's an average player that has a few games where he is above average. GB wasn't looking for a DAdams player. They were looking for someone who can step up and be the 2nd option. If MVS, Kumerow or Lazard is able to take the step to a consistent #2 and bumps Funchess down to the WR3 I don't have a problem with that either. GB will be drafting a WR or two and the rookie could be in the mix as well. That too is good news.

Well after doing a little reading about him I wonder if they will use him at TE. The book on him is that he is really good in the slot because of mismatches but not very good on the outside. He caught all 55 targets from the slot but had 23 drops from the outside. So I would take a wild guess and see him in the slot or TE alot. SO we still need that #2 unless Lazard is going to be our deep threat.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

beast (29m) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (4h) : meh

Zero2Cool (9h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (9h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (9h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (12h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (12h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (15h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (15h) : 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.
