Why do you keep beating this horse, Dave? Last year, the Packers were one of the youngest teams in the league in aggregate, but they had the 9th-oldest starting roster in the league. Just because Thompson likes to pack the back end of the roster with young guys doesn't change the fact that there are plenty of veterans on the starting rotation.

And the reason the bottom of the roster is filled with young players is because they are cheap and allow us to pay our core players good money. This system seems to be working very well, yet we still have those (you know who you are) that insist that we bring in big money free agents and sign Packers who have played well but have seen their best days.

I knew the minute Pickett signed his last contract that Cullen Jenkins was a goner. The opportunity cost of keeping Pickett was Jenkins, and I'll live with it because Pickett is a hell of run stuffer. Yet everyone is pissed that we don't have Jenkins anymore. He tested the free agent market and had to sign for a lot less than anybody thought he would. Green Bay burnt the bridge with Jenkins by not going to the table before free agency. We would have given Cullen more than he got in Philly but he was mad so see in the playoffs Cullen; and we move on and on and on it goes. The lesson in this is do not attach yourself to players, love your team.

The very reason I find it difficult to buy jerseys with a players name on it.

dfosterf (5h) : I do very much appreciate when Beast and others pick up my slack 😊

beast (6h) : That's not what your she said 😌, she said keep going 😏
Mucky Tundra (9h) : Anything over 4 hours means he needs to get to the hospital
Mucky Tundra (9h) : Someone might want to check on Hafley and make sure his erection has gone down
Zero2Cool (11h) : LaFleur texts "bleep me I cannot sit down"
Zero2Cool (11h) : YouTube has had me last hour or two lol
Mucky Tundra (11h) : Ugh this trade happened right as my shift started and it's killing me
Zero2Cool (11h) : Parsons wore 23 in high school.
Zero2Cool (11h) : Packers just cost Lions more money with Hutchinson too huh
Zero2Cool (13h) : That is fair by me.

Zero2Cool (28-Aug) : Bahah, I was like WTF why isn't anyone posting on PP.com ... oops no one has permissions
dfosterf (27-Aug) : tell her I reckon
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Micah Robinson cut. Probable PS player tomorrow. Has to call mom back and t
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : New site so much better. Might make switch and deal with it.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Mecole Hardman to our practice squad
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Unfortunately he doesn't seem ready to be an emergency QB.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : As a Canadian and a follower of Canadian University football. I am rooting for him
dfosterf (27-Aug) : I bet a lot of us will follow the Taylor Elgersma journey with interest. Personally, got a Kurt Warner vibe goin' on. I like him
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Not sure if either will be claimed though.
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Tune or Hooker would make sense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Clayton Tune cut by the Cards? Don't know if that's the guy, we shall see
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Per Bill Huber, the Packers will not be bringing back Taylor Elgersma or Sean Clifford on the practice squad, so a new third quarterback
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Schefter must have deleted his tweet
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Hopefully Jerry reaches under the seat cushions and ashtrays of his jet and scrapes up the 45 million apr and spares us further nonsense
dfosterf (27-Aug) : Have to admit the PO'd Cowboy fan videos would be fun to watch. Problem with draft picks is half their fanbase barely knows what that is
beast (27-Aug) : I think Cowboys fans are ready to get their pitch forks and burning sticks if Jerry were to trade Micah
dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
packerfanoutwest (27-Aug) : The Packers, meanwhile, are the youngest team in the league for the third consecutive year.
dfosterf (27-Aug) : That it was darkest before the dawn in Bengals and Commanders before they got deals done
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : what is Schefter saying?
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He was getting Dorito infusion therapy
dfosterf (27-Aug) : He's outta shape. Why, just the other day I saw him splayed out on the trainers table
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Parsons has followed Rasheed Walker on Twitter. Quite the choice
Mucky Tundra (27-Aug) : Kuhn is a former player who works for the team, if somethings going down, he would be close to it
