Michael Griffin and Kerry Rhodes I'd take over Collins, but after that I can't see anyone else. I do like Landry's upside. I see a big year coming from him so I'd probably take him on the projection that he'd breakout.

Overall I'd rate it like this

1. Ed Reed
2. Adrian Wilson
3. Troy Polamalu
4. Bob Sanders
5. Kerry Rhodes
6. Chris Hope
7. Michael Griffin
8. Nick Collins

Rhodes? Hope? No way!

Ed Reed is a monster. We should trade Rodgers for him. 🙂

I personally can't wait to see what Collins will do this year. I'm sure they'll have creative ways of utilizing him. I know that there's a decent amount of talent at safety going into this year, but I think Collins' Pro Bowl effort last year solidified a starting spot for him (or at least decent playing time).

When Collins gets the ball in his hands he's an absolute beast. Hopefully he can prove that last year's 7 interceptions weren't a fluke. Remember, he had three defensive touchdowns last year (lead the NFL) and his 295 interception return yards puts him at sixth ALL-TIME in that single season category -- only the likes of "Night Train" Lane, Deion Sanders and Ed Reed had more yards from interceptions.

I think Nick is dangerously fast for a safety and has great playmaking skills with the ball. I also think the rest of our defense is crafty for clearing lanes for him once he has the ball.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

Well I can't be for sure but I think you could argue Collins between 5 and 8.

The four I'm not sure I'd put Collins ahead of is

1) Polamalu
2) Reed
3) Sanders (if healthy)
4) Oshiomogho Atogwe (okay he's team is bad... that doesn't mean he is... maybe I'm over rating him who knows but from what little I've seen he can be awesome)

Yeah, Oshiomogho Atogwe is quite a ball-hawking safety. He's very talented and takes great angles on his hits as well.

Nnamdi Asomugha is a corner for the Raiders. Probably the best in the league... but he plays for a team that I believe is worse than Detroit.

I think the former Bear, Mike Brown, is one of the better safeties in the league, but if a tumbleweed were to hit him in the elbow--he'd be out for two years. So I guess being brittle doesn't get you anywhere.

dfosterf (45m) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (47m) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (5h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (8h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (9h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (9h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (10h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (10h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (12h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (22h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

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
