Is it just me or does it seem that this type of shit strikes the good players more so than the scrubs? Terrence Murphy, Gerry Berry, Nick Collins, Sterling Sharpe. WTF!

Sorry if I sound wrong saying this, but after reading what this surgery actually is...Collins would be stupid to come back and play football. That is some serious stuff right there and I would hope that if there is any chance of re-injuring the neck/disability, Nick would not take the chance. Thinking back to what caused this injury just makes me think about if he were to come back and go head on with a player, what would happen to his neck. If I remember correctly, Williams hamstring/ass came down on Collins helmet and it almost looked like nothing at first.

This is/will be a big blow to the Packers defense. Collins was such a quiet and great player.

I hate to lose Nick, but for his own good he shouldn't come back IMO. Too great a risk unless he can be absolutely 100% healthy and I don't see how that can happen. Being in a wheelchair is not worth any milllions of dollars.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

There were many more below average, average, and above average players that played much longer and never had anything like this happen. Just bad luck I guess. Maybe we get some good karma to even things out.

beast (3h) : If they aren't doing it, then why are you assuming they know how to do it?

dfosterf (9h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (9h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (9h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (13h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (16h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (17h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (18h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (18h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (18h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (20h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : 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?
