Marquez Valdes-Scantling injuring his ankle, I wouldn't mind a look at Stills. He's another guy who ran the 40 sub 4.4 and maybe he can help. What do you think?

MVS got an injury? :(

Also Stills missed Thanksgiving game with a quadriceps injury.

Stills will go on the waiver wire, and cost $2 million for the rest of the season for any one whom claims him. He's only had 144 yards this season. Also being released because he's been vocal in letting the PR person go whom almost everyone seemed to love (but she posted political item online which were opposite of the owners believes, but possibly on her own time and account).

That seems like a high risk unless you're sure he's healthy and be a factor quickly. He could certainly be helpful as a decoy if nothing else, but $2 million when we're already what $10 million over next year's cap and haven't even signed any outside FAs nor the draft picks...

Gotta put in a waiver claim, but hell yeah.

Then we would have Crosby and Stills, we just need to pick up Nash and Young and we’d have a band 😂

I don't think the Packers are close enough this year... we need more playmakers on offense, and better DL play.

Even if we were to go all in right now, I don't think we win the Superbowl.

Next year, if we can pick up a solid DT (JJ Watt is reportedly going to be trying to politely force his way out of the rebuilding Texans) and another CB or two and more offensive weapons (simply having a true good H-Back like TE Dugara, I think would help this scheme).

I've read that Stills had a good QB and didn't produce. Sometimes, even a good QB wont produce good WR stats. Especially if the offensive scheme blows goats and I think the Texans are under an interim head coach. I wouldn't be surprised to see him flourish with Rodgers at QB and under LaFleur system.

TE Jace Sternberger and WR Malik Taylor are the closest two Packers on offense to 25% of snaps for comparison.

I'm less concerned with his actual potential, then he has to learn the scheme and gain Rodgers trust in 5 or 6 games... which I just don't see as likely... and the cost of 2+ million when we're already 10 million over next year cap. If he'd be willing to work out a cheaper deal and maybe add next year as well, that might be nice and make it worth it.
