Over or Under 1 day before the Anti-Ted crowd start to complain that Williams isn't "Packer People"... :lol:

With the last few days, you guys can say good bye to guys like Tony Moll, Alan Barbre, Charlie Peprah, and Jason Hunter among others.

I would hope that Barbre can win that job. that would be excellent. I don't want him to get it by default. having players win their positions with a lineup of Barbre at RT, Sitton at RG, Spitz at C, Colledge at LG, and a healthy and effective Clifton (a stretch, i know) for one more year at LT would be nice. seeing one of our rookies or young players win the LT spot would also make for an interesting season.

What about Geno? He's going into that most-imrovement-comes-in-second-year catagory and was supposedly getting good reports from the coaches late last year.

One signing if very interesting.. WR Jamarko Simmons (Western Michigan)

According to Milwaukee newspaper reports, the Packers have already signed a handful of players and invited a few others to rookie camp.

The paper reports the Packers signed quarterback Brian Johnson from Utah, offensive lineman Andy Hartline from Central Michigan, wide receiver Patrick Williams from Colorado, offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith of Idaho State and defensive end Ronald Talley from Delaware.

The paper also reports Green Bay signed former Northwestern running back Tyrell Sutton, wide receiver Kole Heckendorf of North Dakota State, tight end Carson Butler from Michigan, wide receiver Jamarko Simmons of Western Michigan, wide receiver JaRon Harris of South Dakota State and wide receiver Andy Brodell from Iowa.

Reports also say the Packers invited defensive end Joe Lardinois of North Dakota State, defensive end Rhyan Anderson of New Mexico State and offensive lineman Scott Witte of UW-River Falls.

I'm curious how does this signing work? Meaning does the pack pay all these guys? if so how much? or do they go through a practice period and whomever gets to the roster then they pay?

There is a training camp pay scale and it is very minimal. Something like $1000 a week. Still, it's enough to tide you through the spring and early summer. Better than flipping burgers, anyway.

Packers add troubled linebacker ... or maybe not
The Packers have agreed to sign troubled and well-traveled linebacker Willie Williams, according to his school.

Union College (Ky.) sports information director Jay Stancil confirmed the signing in an e-mail.

UPDATE: Stancil just e-mailed again to say the Packers contacted him and have decided not to bring in Williams after all. So ... hold the phone.

The nation's top prospect coming out of high school five years ago, Williams (6-foot-4, 220 pounds) ended up the ultimate college journeyman, spending time at the University of Miami, West Los Angeles Community College, Louisville, Glenville State and finally NAIA Union College.

The journey coincided with well-documented problems off the field, including 11 arrests in high school; a recruiting visit to Florida that ended in being questioned by police; a transfer from Miami after he failed to earn a starting job; and an arrest for marijuana possession that ended his career at Louisville after only three games.

The Packers reportedly traveled to Union to watch Williams practice and also attended his pro-day workout at Eastern Kentucky. He was not drafted.

He set a single-season school record for tackles last season with 144 and was named first-team all-conference.

Fan Shout
Zero2Cool (16h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying
dfosterf (20h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount
dfosterf (20h) : Trade, cut or keep
dfosterf (21h) : that from Jaire
dfosterf (21h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
Zero2Cool (21h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
dfosterf (21h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
Zero2Cool (21h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
dfosterf (21h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
dfosterf (21h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (21h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (21h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (21h) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (21h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (21h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (22h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (23h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (23h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (23h) : 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?
Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
