Never mind the burning of his Cheesehead as part of his recruiting pitch for Aaron Rodgers, what Jets cornerback Ahmad Gardner said is more interesting.

Rodgers coming as a package deal?

PS: Teams have to be under the Cap at 4 PM Eastern on March 15 for the new league year. My guess is no trade happens until after that.

Also, basically as I posted the first message, it was announced Bakhtiari's contract was restructured, meaning that he's probably not going anywhere either, as Packers just took on a lot of his pay officially, which means less likely to be traded.

Go Packers!!!!

Gardner is being a moron for fun. He's trying to get viewers/subscribers. Why is this so hard for people to grasp?

Also, doesn't Rodgers have a $40 million or something dead cap hit coming as soon as he's not on the Packers active roster anymore? Weather he retires or is traded.

Is Rasheed Walker ready to step up?

RFAs are rarely signed by other teams though. And $4.3m is pretty reasonable for young swing tackle who may still improve, especially when your star LT is 31 yards old and has missed more games than he has played the last 3 years. So I don't think it would make much sense to tender him and trade him for less than a 2nd round pick. Unless they really need that cap space for someone else.

But yeah, they could get a 2 for him if there's a team out there that really needs a tackle. But I would guess most teams in that situation would be more comfortable drafting one in the second round instead.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3

wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him

dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see

TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback

Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is

beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced

Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work

dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n

packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
