Rodgers is at a point in his career where the window is closing, so we might as well open a new one while he's still in his prime.

Every team reloads.. turns over the roster in a planned manner. Nelson and Cobb were brought in to prepare for DD and Jennings leaving. Loading up the secondary was in preparation of Woodson leaving.

It happens.. and the Packers had that plan in place for when it happened.

We have issues to fix.. heck we have had them for a couple of seasons now.. but this team is far from being depleted.

Finley is a fan favorite? 😂

This.
Best case scenario if Hawk is cut would be Manti T'eo falling to the pack. Talk all the crap you want about his off the field antics with his fake girlfriend, but the guy is a monster. He'll be better than Hawk at the very least, and Hawk was serviceable.

Sterling Sharpe retiring was hard for me, but nothing could match the blow of Barry Sanders calling it quits. That was the last time I got really invested in a player. I have my favorites, it just takes a few years for me to warm up to them.

I am going to miss Charles Woodson on the Packers. He and Desmond Howard are the only two players I gave effort to watch while they were in college.

I just want them to keep going. Why not? Finley & Hawk removed from this team would have to be considered addition by subtraction. Contract issues may put those two off for a year. Neither player performs to the value of his contract.

Driver, Woodson, and Jennings all did perform to their contract numbers, but their time was up. Jennings will make himself unaffordable, and we don't need him with Jordy, Jones & Cobb. I'm grateful to all of these players for their contributions to our success.

His talent is undeniable, but yet he doesn't seem to have the extra gear he had before the knee injury. I'd like to see him become a better blocker too, but we can even seem to get our O-lineman to do that well. I don't see Finley being released.

I think if Greg Jennings leaves and with Donald Driver gone, there's an opening for leadership between the WR and TE's ... I am curious to see if Finley steps up and perhaps providing aforementioned fire under his ass to lead by example.

You don't dump Finley unless you have a player to replace him.

Woody, i'm saddened to see him go, but i do think it's time. He broke his collarbone twice in 3 seasons, and i wouldn't doubt if it would happen again. Or it would affect how he plays.

Jennings, he's good, but he seems to have the same attitude his sister has. And i never thought i'd see that in him.
Once again, an inflated ego rips a good player apart.
That's how i see it, at least.

Next year Jennings finds out how spoiled he was by who was throwing him the ball for his entire NFL career. And Jordy, Jones, and Cobb say thank you for the extra action you've created by leaving Greg.

beast (14h) : I was kind of hoping Douglas might come back to the Pack

beast (14h) : My question is how much do we trust Jenkins? In bad weather, he seemed to struggle a bit with ball control snapping, though he started at OG

beast (14h) : Well Jenkins probably knows he's not getting that 2026 salary number without a new contact... so just trying to get the new contact early

Zero2Cool (19h) : CB Rasul Douglas is visiting the #Seahawks today, per source.

dfosterf (22h) : He's a switch and baiter. Its the same as a bait and switcher except he agreed to the switch first lol

dfosterf (22h) : 6.8 mil raise next year. Those are existing contract numbers

dfosterf (22h) : 12.8 plus 4.8 pro rata signing bonus is 17.6 mil. Top center in the league at 18

Zero2Cool (23h) : Elgton Jenkins wants to rework contract ahead of position change to center

Zero2Cool (13-May) : 🏈Monday, Nov. 10: Eagles at Packers

buckeyepackfan (12-May) : Packers @ Bears week 16(Saturday Game)

Zero2Cool (12-May) : Clifford hasn't been the same since losing 8

dfosterf (12-May) : Sean Clifford would probably disagree

dfosterf (12-May) : Canuck Cannon. Got a very good feeling about this

Zero2Cool (12-May) : Tom Pelissero also reports what bboy stated

bboystyle (12-May) : The Green Bay Packers on Monday signed Taylor Elgersma, the Canadian-born quarterback who tried out at the team’s rookie camp last weekend

beast (12-May) : There were reports four days ago that the Packers were signing QB Taylor Elgersma, but no official action since

Zero2Cool (12-May) : And for Ian Rapoport to announce Saints send 1st and 2nd rounder to Packers for Malik Willis.

dfosterf (12-May) : *Elgersma*

dfosterf (12-May) : Today would be a good day to discover the Pack signed Taylor Engersma, the Canadian QB

Zero2Cool (11-May) : It wasn't. He simply wanted his money back. They refused. Cops came. They gave him his money in end.

dfosterf (11-May) : Fortunately it doesn't sound like a big deal

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Elgton Jenkins Involved In Strip Club Dispute ... Cops Called To Mitigate

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Derek Carr retires. Shoulder must be bad.

Zero2Cool (10-May) : Packers Pro Shop is not currently printing Golden #22 jerseys “until his number is confirmed after Training Camp.”

greengold (9-May) : My impression is he's a Peruvian soccer fan not a bares fan.

Martha Careful (9-May) : Favored Illinois Bishop?

beast (9-May) : Technically, the I in FIB stands for Italian now, Si?

dfosterf (8-May) : I never thought I'd live long enough to call a pope a FIB, but here we are

Martha Careful (8-May) : Chicago produces a pope before it produces a 4000 yard passing quarterback

wpr (8-May) : HAHAHA Mucky Comment of the day.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : According to reports, Mel Kiper is furious that Sanders wasn't selected as the new Pope

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Time taken to get picked:

Zero2Cool (8-May) : New Pope: 2 days | Shedeur Sanders: 3 days

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Collin Whitchurch @cowhitchurch · 1h Chicago got a pope before it got a QB to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : New Pope from Chicago; in other words, the city produced a Pope before a 4000 yard passer

beast (7-May) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing 😏

Zero2Cool (7-May) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.

Zero2Cool (7-May) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Zero2Cool (7-May) : You saw me Tweet???

beast (7-May) : Supposedly Steelers will be trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys for a 3rd and late round pick swap

Zero2Cool (5-May) : Ravens release Justin Tucker, err D. Watson Jr?

Zero2Cool (5-May) : Cardinals have signed TE Josiah Deguara.

Zero2Cool (5-May) : If I were to "Google" it, then I wouldn't read it in your words.

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition
