I'm going to offer the Packers a hometown discount on ($1,000,000/year) creating a successful forum for their site and moderate it under the same financial umbrella. What you say? That's not a discount? Why yes it is, because I'd charge any other team triple that much!

I hate to see great players who still have a few great years left in the tank leave in free agency.

Why? Whom has Ted Thompson released and gone on to have a great career elsewhere?

Yeah, Darren Sharper won a Super Bowl, but his fame always rested more on his gaudy ballhawking than his fundamental soundness as as defender. The only other players I can come up with are Jon Ryan and Ryan Longwell, but if a couple of special-teams specialists are the best examples anyone can come up with, I would say it is not a compelling argument.

Ryan Longwell left because he wanted to finish his career in a controlled climate. Outdoors in the south or an indoor stadium, there was no keeping him.

Jon Ryan was extremely inconsistent. He could boom one 60 yards or shank one 13 yards. Moving on from him was the right thing to do. Well, if the Packers would have just let Jon Ryan punt how HE wanted to, the Packers should have kept him, but since they were content on changing his style, that's why he was inconsistent. That's just my opinion on why he was inconsistent.


I can't think of many whom left the Packers to achieve great success. Darren Sharper I think he left because he was fed up with the Packers as a staff. He took less money with the Vikings.


I'm really struggling to throw up any name not mentioned already that the Packers let go, I guess maybe Brett Favre, but I'm not sore about that one.

Mike Wahle had highly productive years in Carolina.

Corey Williams, when used properly like he was with the Lions is a very good player. That said.. he was traded not released.

Hunter Hilenmeyer. (sp?) But he was a cut rookie.

But overall.. slim pickin's.

According to Carolina Panther fans, Mike Wahle had one productive year of value.

Burt Farv! :blackeye:

Also, Jenkins was complaining about the team not approaching him last year or even in February. However, up until March it appeared Jolly could have been available, and the team hasn't been able to speak to Cullen since the most recent issues w/ Jolly. Thus, the team's position on Cullen back in February may not be reflective of where they stand now, and the Packers can't communicate that to CJenk or his agent.

I assume you mean, Brett Favre? I mentioned him too, failing to realize he was traded. Oops.

Hillenmeyer, iirc was under Sherman and he was relegated to practice squad. They wanted to develop him for a year first, but the Bares nabbed him.

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
