Funny you brought this up. I woke up the morning of the Super Bowl. I had a dream that the Packers signed Al Harris to a one-day contract just to allow him to get a ring and be a part of the big show. I didn't post it because I knew it was just wishful thinking anyhow.

I, too, was presumptuous in thinking he would be retiring (never playing again). I didn't even consider how he would feel about it. Would hope he wouldn't be insulted and the points about his leadership and tutelage for our junior players are all valid points.

The fact that more than one of us thought this speaks volumes of the character of Al Harris and his relationship with fans and the team alike. Great player. Class act.

Absolutely. Al Harris has done so much for this organization and he was a part of the Packers squad this year. One thing people need to realize is a player can do a lot more for an organization than what they do on the field Sunday afternoon, night or Monday night.

Al Harris is a Packer for life. No one will look at Al Harris and say, I remember that Dolphins game. This guys blood runs green and yellow and if he were accepting of it, 100% give this guy a championship ring.

When the Colts won the Super Bowl, Indianapolis OFFERED Edgerrin James a ring.

Obviously, the man was on a different team and played the entire season.

I say we do the same thing.

No. He didn't play a down this year.

Should they resign Aaron Kampman and give him a ring too?

What about Ahman Green? Where do you draw the line?

To me, Harris went through all the offseason work.. was on the roster for more than half the year and in the end was excused.

But if you want to be a ass about it.. so be it.

Kampman, Green were not on the roster this season.. pretty simple line to me.

I'm with nonstop. I guess that makes two asses. Harris would know that he didn't contribute to this championship. Why would he want the ring from a season and game he didn't contribute to? It's a groundless gesture and Harris would know it's a groundless gesture.

Are you going to give a ring to Harrell and Blackmon too?

Most importantly, Al Harris is now a member of the Miami Dolphins. What message would that send to his new teammates and coaches, and the Dolphin organization that gave him a chance to play when GB wouldn't?

Al is a high character guy. He knows he doesn't deserve this ring. He made the choice to leave when we offered to put him on IR. When he made that choice, he took himself off of this team.

He was released by Miami.
MLB players get a share of the World Series money (and ring?) even if they have been traded mid season.
That said I still say no.

Saying no is not being an ass.. how he said it and being sarcastic as hell was. Kampman nor Green spent anytime with the club this year.

NonStop has stated in the past that he wanted people to call him on his bullshit.. consider it called.

I am mixed on offering him a contract and a ring, but I lean more to offering it in the least.

Harrell is on IR,.. he is getting a ring. And that is my point with Harris.. IMO, I would guess Harris contributed more than the likes of Harrell.

beast (3h) : 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?
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb
wpr (9-Apr) : yay
Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland
Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'
Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you
Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.
Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.
