I'm not saying a trade actually occurred (I doubt it did), but just because the deadline is past and we haven't heard of a trade doesn't mean a trade didn't happen.

Ahman Green was last sighted playing in the UFL. Don't know if their season is still going on, Green was a teammate of the ex-buckeye complete failure Maurice Clairette.

Don't remeber which team they play for, just remember reading they were teammates.

Green Bay needs Ahman!!!!!

James Starks is going to practice this week according to MM, in his press conference yesterday.

We dont need Ahman, we'd just all like to see him again.

It'll be interesting to see who actually starts at SS now that Bigby and Smith are there. My money is on Bigby.

Since I'm not one to disapprove of a signing for the sake of disapproving (Clifton, Tauscher disapproval are similar) ... if Ahman Green could help the team, I'd be cool with it.

I'm all for signing players who can help us and I just don't think Green can anymore.

I still don't understand why the NFL trade deadline is so damn early. It seems absurd to me. Why not let teams who have a legitimate chance to make a playoff push bone up as the postseason approaches, while teams that have no chance can unload talent and gear up for the offseason?

I think you answered your own question with your post.

I'd prefer it be week 8-10 instead of around week 6. It'd be nice to have a game or two to evaluate your PUP players and decide if a trade is needed.

Here is what Andrew Brandt said in response to this question.

NFP- Andrew answers Mailbag 

Why is the trading deadline so early in the NFL season?
I always wondered the same. In Major League Baseball, with the trading deadline not until four months of the season has passed, there is always more activity and thus more buzz surrounding the deadline due to the late timing.
The reason stated by the NFL for the early deadline is to avoid exactly what baseball allows the opportunity to rent players for the stretch drive of seasons, thereby tipping the balance of power to the bigger spending teams.
Although there has been one of those trades already in the NFL with Randy Moss going to the Vikings from the Patriots the league would say that 13 games of a 16 game season would classify more as a true trade rather than the mercenary rental in baseball. The Cliff Lee trade this year between the Mariners and Rangers in baseball, despite its impact on the playoff races, is not what the NFL envisions with its trading deadline.
I understand the leagues desire to limit late-season hired gun acquisitions, but the early deadline limits the buzz and sizzle that trading deadlines in other leagues create.

wpr (17h) : Only 4
Zero2Cool (20h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!
dfosterf (21h) : 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.
