Well, I have to say that today was the first day that I thought, "It might be nice to have Marshawn Lynch right now." He was awesome for the Seahawks today. I was impressed with him even before that long TD run.

I still like Ted's approach of not overpaying to get players, but the fans who wanted him to get Lynch are looking a bit smarter now.

As if I could possibly look any smarter than I already am!

He wasn't worth overspending for was my thinking, but maybe that was wrong. Maybe he was worth throwing another round higher of a pick at him. That big run, that's special, it takes great balance and resilience to accomplish that.

I was hoping for Lynch, but to be fair, I've kind of wanted anyone other than Brandon Jackson carrying the rock primarily for us.

Those who wanted Lynch, hats off for sure.

I also think Ted made the right decision in the long run. Overpaying for that "one last piece" more often than not backfires (see Moss, Randy). Plus, Lynch is such a goofball off the field that you never know what the off season will bring.

But today Lynch showed that he can still be a difference-maker, at least for one game.

None of us could possibly know what kind of an atmosphere/attitude Lynch would have brought to the room under the bleachers.

However... I trust Ted with every fiber of my being so I am not going to think back. Good thread though.

One good run all season and going to say how great he is?

Your aware Jackson had a LONGER run this season than Lynch has?

a 4th rounder and player is what Ted offered, Seattle just a 4th

So tell Buffalo to suck it since they didnt want 2 players

FYI, Donald Driver had a nicer run than M Lynch's. Watch both plays again.

Very true, it was only one great run. But it was in the playoffs, when his team needed it the most and it helped his team win the game.

Great players do just that. I am not saying he's a great player, I think he's an above average back.

If Lynch gave that kind of effort every play, he's be a 1,500 yard back I bet.

Well he showed the potential he had today, but honestly the guy has sucked all year long. I'm still glad we didn't offer any more than we did. One good game, regardless of when it was, does not redeem his otherwise forgettable season.

beast (8h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (12h) : meh

Zero2Cool (16h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (16h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (16h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (19h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (19h) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (22h) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (23h) : 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.
