It's a shame that they're absolutely right...

Wow. It's nice to see how the players feel about that. And, it's good, too.

But, it's impossible for me to pick one side (owners/GMs) over the other (players).

I like that clip.

Thanks to TheViking88 for the sig!!

totally agree with you, formo. it truly is a business even though we as fans would like to believe it's all about comraderie, banter in the locker room, etc... it clearly isn't.

It WAS in the "old days", before these crazy salarys these guys get now. Players played for the LOVE of it, and most had to take summer jobs to make a living.

Yeah This reminds me of Ahman Green. We were not loyal to him, and he was a great player and teammate. He wanted to stay in GB, but the business drove him out.

Uh.....thats not really true. Green followed the money. He was offered a rediculous amount of money, and took it. I bet had he said "I'll play for 500 grand if i can stay in GB" he probably would have been able to stay here.
Green didn't want to stay here bad enough to turn down the bundle Houston offered him.
Not that i blame him. He would have been nuts to pass up all that free money.

Yeah I guess. I remember him saying he wanted to play in GB though. He is always going to be a packer in my heart 🙂

Oh, i agree! Green will always remain one of my favorite players! The times i got to meet him, he ALWAYS treated us fans well! Not all "star" players take the time for us "little people". Green ALWAYS did. I have his jersey and wear it proudly.

Fan Shout

Zero2Cool (3h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (11h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (11h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (12h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (12h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (13h) : Who? What?

beast (21h) : 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

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : 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
