Sources inside the NFL have stated....

Everyone knows the Vikings organization is having challenges, and L.A. is waiting with open arms.

Rumor has it...

The NFL is looking at a possible solution.

Moving the Vikings to Los Angeles. With them will go the team, but not the Brand Name "Vikings"

Now here is the interesting part... They are looking at merging the The Green Bay Market with the Minneapolis Market.

The NFL figures within a 4.5 hour drive they can merge both markets into one team.

4 regular season games will be played in each city, and the pre season games will be split as well.

The team would come up with a new name that suits both markets and the uniform colors would be merged Purple, green and Yellow. Purple pants will be worn for home games in Minneapolis and Yellow or (Gold) pants for games in Green Bay. On the road... 4 games will have purple jerseys and four games will have Green jerseys.

If Home and or Away White Jerseys are ever moved from season to season.

The source, says the NFL thinks both cities and fans will embrace each other in a common goal and will fully support a merged geographic team location.

The source said the NFL thinks this would solve the challenge of the lucrative Los Angeles market not having an NFL team, and soften the loss for the Minneapolis market.

Packer fans with season tickets would retain them for games in Green Bay, and Minnesota fans would also retain theirs for games in Minneapolis.

Both communities would own the team in a 51-49 % proposal with the Green Bay owning the 51%

This has got to be some trademark RaiderPride sardonic humor (pretty creative, I have to admit), but I'm going to move it to the NFL section since it's only incidentally about the Packers. If you can provide a link that corroborates this story, I'll be happy to move it back to the Packers section.

I presume that last line stands for "I am a real son of a bitch"?

No way would this ever happen, people in Green Bay would rather welcome Farve back then have to watch there Packers play in the Metrodome.

Just think of all the pissed of fans in the Green Bay area. They don't even get access to all 8 home games as it stands now and now your talking about dropping them down to 2 games a year for season tickets. Actually it might be good because the season ticket list would drop very fast.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

First.. creative as hell.

Second, the NFL would lose to much if they eliminated the storied tradition of the Green Bay Packers.

Third, the waiting list is unreal now in Green Bay.. restricting more games wouldn't be a viable option..

Fourth.. IMO, they need to optimize the potential of the Dakota's, Northeastern NE to help draw more fans... football is "the" sport in Nebraska.. albeit they bleed the Cornhusker red.. there is an untapped market in the northeast corner.. along with Iowa..

Fifth.. to try an mix the two franchises strong roots would be a mistake..

The best option for the NFL is either help push the stadium deal now in MN or pull the franchise out and add a new one back in after the area realizes how much it would lose without the Vikings in town.. Move the Wilfs to LA and drop them in the NFC West.. add the Rams to the NFC North..

Zero2Cool (14h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (14h) : 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
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?
