What if Nick decides to play and the Packers don't want him to. Would they trade him and get something or cut him and get nothing? What might they get if they trade him?

I just had to throw in my 2 cents, it's been awhile and after all it is that time of year for me to start my hating on Ted Thompson again.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Oh I completely agree. In 2010, I thought Peprah's best attribute was his sure tackling, especially his first few games. I remember some beautiful solid form tackling. For whatever reason that I certainly can't explain, he was pretty much horrible in every way last season, in addition to most the secondary. Super Bowl hangover? Slight loss of that "drive" or "hunger" after becoming the champs? I have no idea, but it was horrifying to watch.

If Nick Collins wants to play and the Packers don't want him to, I don't think there is much Nick Collins can do. The Packers would be less than inclined to trade him because it would defeat their reasoning for not wanting him to play. The Packers would love to have a 100% Nick Collins on the field, no question. They sure as hell don't want to see Nick Collins in another uniform, it's not like he's debated retirement for the last six years publicly.

On that basis the only option is to pay him and not play him.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

I'm really hoping the guy can come back and play, without any further risk. Given the amount of time this is taking, you would think Collins' doctors might have given him a green light. If the light was red, the Packers team physicians would really have nothing further to discuss. Then again, maybe they just need a week to figure out what to do with his retirement. It would be great if he were cleared to play and kept the Green & Gold 36.
