Ugh, it's a contract, why is it so hard to find 100% accurate information?
Now apparently the Packers guaranteed Driver $1.2 million.

I'm betting the Packers keep six receivers if they really did guarantee Driver $1.2 million, unless he starts dancing with two left feet during training camp.

Something funny.

Funny story about that Methodikal, who happens to be the "Host" admin account and was temporarily -- accidently deleted. Wanna talk about an 'oh sweet honey iced tea' moment ... my forehead was sweating because you can't create another one.

That 6th WR will have to be better than the 4th TE (or some other position). I can see it happening. The league MVP needs targets.

There was a time we always had 6 WR's, although not the overall talent of what we have now. I think McCarthy likes TE's for versatility and on special teams, but Gurley might change that this year. If a WR gets cut, it just may be Jones, I mean let's face it - he isn't improving.

IMO, Dancing with the Stars is going to pay dividends for Driver and the Packers this season.

IMO, with the contract he signed.. a one year deal; this will be Drivers farewell tour in the NFL.

I think he understands that.. I think the Packers understand that.. and I think Driver still provides value between the white stripes.

I believe the Packers find a way to keep Driver on the team for this season.

Only reason I posted that is because you just threw that out there with absolutely nothing else. No elaboration, no sources, just that.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

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

dfosterf (8h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (8h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (8h) : Youtube

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

dfosterf (15h) : 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 (17h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (17h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (17h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (19h) : 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?
