Wow, the best guy available hasn't played in 3 years?

I guess the tackle we have on the practice squad really sucks.

It actually was a serious comment on my part. I find it hard to believe that there isn't some Div I graduate who never got a tryout -- or some practice squad player somewhere -- who couldn't be better than a guy out of football for three years. If he really is the best option out there, that says a lot about the state of OLmen in the NFL these days.

Just because we signed him doesn't mean that he was the "best" option out there. We all know that Ted Thompson goes about business in a way that nobody but himself (maybe his staff) understands. But I support it 100% because he is a genius.

It is one thing to pick up a player that hasn't played in the NFL in so long. But it sure makes you wonder when he has not been good enough to play such juggernaut offensive lines as KC, Denver and the Giants .

The 6-foot-4, 305-pound Taylor played in 18 games (including one start) for the Kansas City Chiefs in 2007-08. He then was briefly on the Denver Broncos’ roster late in the 2009 season. He didn’t make a team either of the last two seasons after being in training camp with the New York Giants in 2010 and the Broncos again this past summer.

Any word if he attended any workouts? I'll let the coaching staff determine talent and I'm all for flying in everyone and his brother for workouts, but kind of odd that we'd just up and sign someone like this. As NSD pointed out, I'm a bit surprised there's nobody better stashed away on a practice squad somewhere. Unless this guy kept himself in playing shape the last 3 years, I'm a bit afraid a bullrush will blast this guy back about 10 feet.

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

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 (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
