Hypothetical question · PACKERSHOME

Earlier this year there were rumors, more appropriately-dreamers, that thought we could trade A-Kamp for Joe Thomas.

Realistically, what would it take to get him? What should we be willing to pay?

Would a first round and A-Kamp do it, all our draft choices(ala Ditka), all our choices and A-Kamp? This is all hypothetical assuming Clevland played a 4-3 defense. We would have to over pay, just like free agency, but I believe that's the point we are at. We need key players, not a bunch of run of the mill players . We have that.

What are other possibilities?

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I don't think there is much of anything short of a starting QB that would get any interest from them.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Cleveland plays a 3-4 defense, but with Holmgren there now there is talk of switching to a 4-3. If the do that, I can't think of a better guy to lead that change than Kampman. If they stay in a 3-4 though, I don't know if they'd do it. I'd like Kampman to play somewhere where he's comfortable in their scheme. I still think he has a lot he could do for the Packers. I'm not ready to let him go just yet.

Good point. Hadn't thought about that. Now remember Green Bay was 3-4 before Holmgren and switched after we got Reggie.

I did not know that. I think at that time I was too young and didn't know about schemes and all that. I just knew Reggie was a monster and I couldn't believe we signed him.

Geez, if they wanted a QB we should have saved Brohm! LOL

To me, Holmgren has always been a "foundation" kind of team builder. The foundation of a productive offense are a quality QB, and a LT to protect his ass. Don't see MH making that move unless the deal is so lopsided (Browns need a lot of new talent) as to make it impossible for anyone but Dan Snyder to refuse.

Isn't Kampman a FA? He will end up in Minnesota. We need a replacement for Ray Edwards who is a FA.

Are you sure about that? I don't ever remember the Pack being a 3/4.

Wow, They did pay 3/4 in 1991. Never realized that. And I have been watching them since the mid 70's. Good find!

Joe Thomas is basically the best LT in the league. We can not possibly get him. What would we have to give Minnesota to get Adrian Peterson?

wpr (4h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (6h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (7h) : 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?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?
