I'd go with this five.

Tony Boselli
LeRoy Butler
Calvin Johnson
Peyton Manning
Charles Woodson

If Sam Mills doesn't have any more eligibility left, I'd put him in over Calvin Johnson.

I don't think Butler has a chance, after not even being top 10 last year. But as the only all 90s decade team to not be in... and one of the few that have completed (I can't remember quite, but I think) the 20/20 club (20 INTs and 20 Sacks) he needs to go in at some point.

If I was out putting in 5 without doing any research at all, I'd keep it simple and put in

Peyton Manning
Charles Woodson

LeRoy Butler
Reggie Wayne

And have the Packers and Colts in the Hall Of Fame Preseason Game 😛 sure that's a horrible way to do it, but I said no research lol

And I was looking for someone that was great for a decade, so many of those careers were shorter than I thought... except

Clay Matthews Jr.... 18 years. Though, honestly he's probably not in the top 5 either. But I was just surprised a lot of the guys careers were less than a decade, or I thought they dropped off before a decade.

Like everyone, no research.
Let's go with
LeRoy Butler
Calvin Johnson
Peyton Manning
Charles Woodson

Add Jared Allen. He was sure a thorn in the side of the Packers for so many years. Then again John Lynch was a decent player too when he was with Tampa.

I'm sure Wayne will get a lot of votes.
Boselli didn't play long enough for me to take him as a serious contender. Even Johnson is right at the edge of acceptability.

I am surprised Woodson is not coaching. He has a lot to offer and I think he would find it fulfilling

Studio jobs are cushy jobs, but at some point, you want back into the action

Zero2Cool (11m) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (7h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (8h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (8h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (8h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (9h) : Who? What?

beast (18h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (22h) : meh

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

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : 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
