I'm looking at Vince Young and Derek Anderson. If ANYBODY can develop a OB, it's MM.
I like Willis McGahee too. Marion Barber. I heard Greg Olsen might be released or traded. Don't see Ted Thompson trading though.
Todd Heap. Ted Thompson loves TEs!

Vince Young lacks the mental fortitude required for being a successful NFL quarterback.
Derek Anderson struggles to be a #2 on most teams.
Willis McGahee has lost a big step.
Marion Barber was never really that good to start with and isn't now.
Greg Olsen won't be traded to the Packers, lol.

Agreed on McGahee and Barber though. Starks and Green are way better! I still like McGahee though. I thought he was more of a salary cap casualty.

Those guys are all has-beens and never-was'es. We really don't need to waste roster and cap space for those guys.

This is a placeholder

Rich Gannon had talent that needed to be tapped. I don't know much about Derek Anderson, but the few times I seen him play, it's not worth the roster spot. I think Packers go Aaron Rodgers and Matt Flynn with a QB on the practice squad this year.

Looks like Ted is waiting for Friday(tomorrow) to see who all comes available.

Just heard where Greg Olsen was dealt to Carolina.

Looks like we are all going to have to be patient a little longer, if I were to guess, IMHO, Packers will try and get as many back as possible from last years roster, then fill in the gaps.

We are going to need another QB sometime since Matt will be gone after this year. Hate to lose him and only get the compensatory pick. Don't know if Derek Anderson would be that guy though. I'm almost certain Vince Young isn't.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Zero2Cool (19h) : Woo-hoo

TheKanataThrilla (19h) : NFL Network is broadcasting the game tonight, but not in Canada. Not sure why as no local television is showing the game.

beast (8-Aug) : But the Return from IR designations had to be applied by the 53 man cutdown.

beast (8-Aug) : It's a new rule, so it's not clear, but my understanding was that they could be IR'd at any time

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : *had to be IRed at 53

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (8-Aug) : Zero- Did you see what I posted about Voice of Reason and his wife? She posted over at fleaflicker that they are both "In"

dfosterf (7-Aug) : to herd cats or goldfish without a bowl. They reminded me of the annual assembly of our fantasy league

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

wpr (7-Aug) : seems faster. yay

Zero2Cool (7-Aug) : Sure does feel like site is more snappy

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : I thought that was the Lions OL

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Hey i didn't know we could trade picks in fantasy

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Update: Rock has tried a cheese curd, promises it's not his last
