Then I start dialog with Driver.. really sit down and talk about 2012 and his thoughts after that. If something can be worked out to make it less of a financial burden to retain him.. you let him part from the Packers. To me.. it really depends on what he has to say about realistically playing beyond 2012. If he really wants to do so.. then I think the right thing to do is allow him to find a team in which will carry his contract for more than 1 more season. He says he wants to play til 40 publicly... if that is the same privately.. shake his hand.

The guy that should lose majority of his snaps is Driver and James Jones for that matter.

People are prideful, especially football players. I’m not sure Driver is going to want to lose snaps to Cobb, but it needs to happen. This leads to Driver being the No. 5 receiver on the depth chart. I don’t know how you can keep him then. The No. 5 receiver must influence special teams. Driver is not going to do that. All good things must end.

Looks like there's an article saying that they're going for a long term deal with Finley.

EDIT: Looks like PFT is getting in on it too. So if they're going to straight up sign Finley, does that mean they're saving the tag for Flynn? Maybe they'll tag DD!

My personal opinion of importance...

Scott Wells
Jermichael Finley
Howard Green
Ryan Grant

I'm torn on Ryan Grant. He impressed me late in the season. If he's resigned at a reasonable price and earns a spot, I'm down. However, with Alex Green and Brandon Saine looking strong ... I'm not sure if he has a spot. Then again, James Starks seems to have injury problems.

Goners...
Matt Flynn - Miami's next QB
Erik Walden - Clean house, everyone but Clay Matthews III at OLB should be replaced, lol.
Pat Lee - I see no reason to try an keep him.

Green doesn't matter to me at all. DL tackles were as follows:
Pickett 33
Wilson 26
Raji 22
Wynn 19
Green 11
Neal 3
Granted none of the numbers are eye popping but that was due as much to the system as anything. And I am sure he was not in the game on most downs but he didn't amount to much in the over all scheme of things. Another younger chunk of beef can do just as well, maybe better. One of the things I noticed is that everyone else (except for Neal) had more tackles than assists. Green had more assists than real tackles.

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : @ByRyanWood How much did the injury affect him last fall? “A lot.”

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : @ByRyanWood Kenny Clark said he had foot surgery in January. Injured his foot in opener against Eagles and played through it all year.

Zero2Cool (3-Jun) : Golden is wearing guardian cap again. I bet he plays with it on too.

Mucky Tundra (3-Jun) : All the stuff I'm reading from Lions fans are pointing at his toe; he more or less has permanent turf toe in one of his big toes

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Kenny played through it, and a shame he gets little credit for that, imo

dfosterf (3-Jun) : Big men. I hope it's not the undoing of Kenny Clark

beast (30-May) : Yeah, and I enjoyed your comments and just attempted to add to it. Sorry if I did it incorrectly.

wpr (30-May) : Beast I never said Henderson was the salt of the earth. Nor even that he was correct. Just quoting the guy.

Zero2Cool (29-May) : What did you do??

Zero2Cool (29-May) : Whoa

beast (29-May) : OMG the website is now all white, even some white on white text

beast (29-May) : Henderson, who admits to taking cocaine during the Super Bowl against the Steelers, might dislike Bradshaw as he lost two Superbowls to him

wpr (28-May) : Hollywood Henderson said Bradshaw “is so dumb, he couldn't spell 'cat' if you spotted him the C and an A.”

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : Cooper stock=BUY BUY BUY

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : Also notes he’s playing with more confidence.

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : @AndyHermanNFL MLF says there was a time last year where Cooper was at 220 pounds. Now he’s at 240 and still flying around.

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : And don't even get me started on Frank Caliendos "impersonations"

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : I got tired of them being circle jerks with them overlaughing at each others jokes.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : It used to be must watch TV for me. now it's "meh" maybe to hear injury update

Mucky Tundra (28-May) : I haven't watched the pregame shows in years and I don't feel like I've missed a thing

Zero2Cool (28-May) : Love says knee affected him all season, groin injury didn't help matters.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : I used to enjoy him on FOX Pregame. Now it's like a frat party of former Patriots.

Zero2Cool (28-May) : LaFleur on Watson: “Christian is doing outstanding. I would say he’s ahead of schedule.”

Martha Careful (28-May) : Bradshaw is a dumb ass cracker. I am so tired of his "aw shucks" diatribe. He should shrivel up and go away.

buckeyepackfan (28-May) : He wad all butt hurt because Aaron duped the media saying he was immunized.

buckeyepackfan (28-May) : Bradshaw needs to retire. He's been ripping on Rodgers ever since the covid crap. He was all hury

Zero2Cool (28-May) : Terry Bradshaw doesn't want Rodgers in Pittsburgh lol wow

Zero2Cool (27-May) : one day contract, which he also feels is pointless, but if Packers came to him, he would

packerfanoutwest (27-May) : Aaron Rodgers talks possibility of retiring with Packers, just another rumor

dfosterf (27-May) : Go watch 2001

Zero2Cool (26-May) : 1984

dfosterf (26-May) : That movie sent a chill through many. 1968.
