I think it would be a mistake to get rid of Driver. I'm all about going younger to a point, but he still brings it on Sunday. He was the only WR who played well against the Giants.

The thing about Grant is the way he used the Favre situation as leverage to get his last contract. I think that works against him to some degree.

Lots of good points, pro and con, mostly con on keeping Driver.

This I know was posted already but thought i would include the link

http://packersnews.greenbaypressgazette.com/article/20120210/PKR01/120210198/Green-Bay-Packers-WR-Donald-Driver-willing-to-take-a-pay-cut-to-stay-with-the-team?odyssey=tab |topnews|text|FRONTPAGE

Another interesting article from a week or so ago had this little blurb:

• Even though the Packers are well-stocked with young running backs like James Starks, Brandon Saine and Alex Green, who showed some flashes before suffering a season-ending knee injury, our sources suspect the team will still re-sign RB Ryan Grant, probably to a one-year deal.

http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/139393643.html

Too early to speculate IMHO, but I'll play.

Chad Clifton retires.

Donald Driver restructures his contract and is back in 2012.

Ryan Grant signs 1 yr deal and is back.

Scott Wells is signed to a 3 - 5 yr deal.

Jermicheal Finley leaves via Free Agency.
Charles Woodson re-structures his contract to be more cap friendly in 2012.

Rb's/Fb's at start of training camp:
Ryan Grant, James Starks, Alex Green, John Kuhn, Brandon Saine,Jon Hoese
If no injuries, Hoese goes to PS the rest make final cuts and are on 53 man roster.

Wr's at start of training camp
Jennings, Nelson, Jones, Driver, Cobb, Gurley, Borel and Smithson
Smithson and Borel go to PS, the rest make the final cuts and are on 53 man roster.

TE's at start of training camp
Crabtree, Quarless, Taylor and Williams
All make final cuts and are on 53 man roster

5 rb's, 6 wr's, 4 te's if I am right that is 1 more than the total last year at start of the season, that 1 will come from 1 less lb kept on final roster.

Bonus Info:

For their 1st pick of the 2012 draft The Green Bay Packers select:

CHANDLER JONES DE/OLB Syracuse University.

There I put it out there and will stick with it.

Now for my prediction - it's more broad. 2010s are our decade. We win 4 SBs this decade. We're one for two right now.

I also predict Vikesrule becomes a Packers fan within the next 5 years.

Now, one of my 2 predictions will come true.

Donald Driver, as a Packer, is nothing more or less than a 3rd down slot receiver.

I admire his heart. Yes, I know he lost a step. But if the rest of the team played like that, we would have beaten the Giants.

TheKanataThrilla (21h) : 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 😔

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
