Story has no details other than LaFleur saying Gute and the Packers are looking extremely hard to find deals they'd like to pull the trigger on...

So listen up for any rumors you hear...

What do the Packers need? Call me crazy, but I think they need more cohesion than adding more pieces.

As I saw on the Tweeter, maybe Broncos eat CB Kyle Fuller contract to trade him? He once signed with Packers (offer sheet). Toss a 6th round for the guy? Is he even any good? I thought I read he's riding the bench.

I think the Packers biggest need right now is return specialist and I feel you can pluck that off someone's practice squad.

Packers need more good healthy DB depth, in case they get more injuries there and Alexander can't return.

Also possible a receiving TE.

And returner, and maybe a great Long Snapper.

A receiving TE would be nice, but I think Packers place a higher value on blocking than receiving TE. But that all being said, more CB depth I can definitely get behind too. Good points made.

DT Fletcher Cox is hating his new defensive scheme and how they can't be as aggressive in it.

If we got Cox and Z healthy, this would be the greatest Packers defensive front, at least since they had Reggie White.

DT: Clark, Cox, Lowry, Keke
OLB: Z, Gary, Preston, Merciless

Would create a very good rotation to possibly keep them fresh all game long.

The best pool of talent available is already on the roster. If we can get get Z.Smith back in a couple weeks and Zaire even in a month (being hopeful) this team will be geared for a run. The diamond in the rough here is all these guys filling in for the starters and gaining all that experience. IF somebody goes down now we probably have a player with the experience to come in and do a solid job. These injuries have increased the quality of the depth on this team.
They survived the first half of the year. They need to get and stay healthy the rest of the year. Legitimate playoff teams are mostly also the heathiest teams. I will take our chances with our current roster getting healthy and staying on the field.. After all, we haven't just been missing players we have been without some of the very best players on this team. Sky is the limit IMO.

As to your post, I agree. Get our guys back and let's go.

packerfanoutwest (45m) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (1h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (1h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (1h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (2h) : Who? What?

beast (11h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (15h) : meh

Zero2Cool (19h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (19h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (19h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (22h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (22h) : 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
