Not nessarily wanting this, but just throwing the idea out there.

Since the Browns seem to be sellers in the trade market and the Lions lost DE Aidan Hutchinson for the season, there have been fans rumors of the possibility of DE Za'Darius Smith going from the Browns to the Lions.

When asked about it, Za'Darius said he had not heard about the rumors, but that it's all upstairs decisions, not his and he rather the media ask them about it, instead of him. Then Za'Darius seemingly pointed out (I'm not sure if seriously or jokingly) that if traded to the Lions, he'd get to play against his former teams Packers and Lions, and that would feel good to him.

All this to finally suggest, with fans complaining that the Edge Rushers aren't getting the job done enough (I believe partly because the coaches/system is asking them to contain more and less the DTs be the free rushers more)...

But what about the idea of bringing Za'Darius back to the Pack?

Not sure it's a good idea (probably depends on cost and contract), but just thought it was interesting enough to mention, and get reactions.

He was talking about playing against his former teams in Packers and Vikings (not Lions), yes, that is correct.

I just don't think it's a good fit

I would say Preston Smith is the old man, over Gary.

I guess it depends on what those phases mean, as I would hope players don't purposely take a back seat... keep pushing to be the man!

But do it professionally...

I know he felt disrespected in that he wasn't voted captain again, and that felt that no one came to him to talk to him while he was injured.

And had a contract dispute with the Vikings, whom I believe were asking most of their players to take a pay cut and Smith certainly wasn't the only Vikings player whom had an issue with that. So I'm not sure if I count this, as what human would be happy with taking a pay cut for the same amount of work?

I don't currently remember anything else from the Vikings, Ravens or Browns.

Za'Darius seems to take things personally for reasons that are legitimate or feigned (I was unaware of no one communicating with him during his injury). When spoken to this week on the idea of being traded to the Lions, Za'Darius highlighted the fact that he would get an opportunity to square off vs Green Bay and Minnesota twice a year. I just have a hard time seeing him falling in line behind the younger guys that are the core of Green Bay.

Packers are on BYE this week and Tuesday is trade deadline. I think this is the best time to add someone. There's no game to prepare for on Sunday so the new player could come in, learn the system while coaches dish out a role for the new player so we can destroy the Bears November 17th.

I don't have a good idea what the correct trade back value would be, but I was thinking if C Myers is seriously hurt (or maybe even if he isn't), the Packers might look into trading for

Jaguars C Mitch Morse

Not as good as Myers in pass protection, but also not far behind. And a hell lot better in run blocking, where Myers is dead last in the NFL (and it's not that close neither) while Christensen is 9th best.

Christensen started at LG in 2022, but has been a backup in 2023 and 2024 until injuries hit, and he's in the last year of his deal, so they might be willing to trade him, especially since the team seems to be sellers right now.

Fan Shout

Mucky Tundra (11h) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (17h) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (22h) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th

beast (23-Dec) : Mucky, I thought the ad revenue went to the broadcasting companies or the NFL, at least not directly

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think the revenue share is moot, isn't it? That's the CBA an Salary Cap handling that.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : i mean game becomes irrelevant if we win tonight. Just a game where we are trying to play spoilers to Vikings chance at the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, I would guess ad revenue from more eyes watching tv

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I would think it would hurt the home team because people would have to cancel last minute maybe? i dunno

beast (23-Dec) : I agree that it's BS for fans planning on going to the game. But how does it bring in more money? I'm guessing indirectly?

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : bs on flexing the game....they do it for the $$league$$, not the hometown fans

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I see what you did there Mucky

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : dammit. 3:25pm

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Packers Vikings flexed to 3:35pm

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Upon receiving the news about Luke Musgrave, I immediately fell to the ground

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : Yeah baby!

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : LUKE MUSGRAVE PLAYING TONIGHT~!~~~~WOWHOAAOHAOAA yah

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I wanna kill new QB's ... blitz the crap out of them.

beast (23-Dec) : Barry seemed to get too conservative against new QBs, Hafley doesn't have that issue

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : However, we seem to struggle vs new QB's

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Should be moot point, cuz Packers should win tonight.

packerfanoutwest (23-Dec) : ok I stand corrected

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ok, yes, you are right. I see that now how they get 7th

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : 5th - Packers win out, Vikings lose out. Maybe?

beast (23-Dec) : Saying no to the 6th lock.

beast (23-Dec) : No, with the Commanders beating the Eagles, Packers could have a good chance of 6th or 7th unless the win out

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I think if Packers win, they are locked 6th with chance for 5th.

beast (23-Dec) : But it doesn't matter, as the Packers win surely win one of their remaining games

beast (23-Dec) : This is not complex, just someone doesn't want to believe reality
