I would be shocked if he could DD. The guy was a 7th round pick and played like crazy to get to that starter role. Now he's kinda being thrown out by the emerge of Jennings and he still plays with a smile on his face.

I think you need a couple of guys like that. He gets the work ethic up, going out there as not the most physically gifted guy, but as a hard worker and running all over defenders. I love him.

I have always admired DD. He has a great attitude. That he plays at this kind of a level in the NFL is so impressive esp when you realize he was homeless as a kid and lived in several different homeless shelters. Just an amazing man.

He's a great role model for the young packers for sure

I don't see it like that. What I see is that DD is getting double teamed as the veteran on the squad which allows the other, younger players to flourish, which Jennings (Walker before him) and Jones are using to their opportunities to grow as players. I'm sure DD is perfectly happy in his half mentor half leadership role that he has, and doesn't feel like he's being forced out or anything.

I would lose any respect I had forTed Thompsonat that moment. I mean, DD has to be a great influence for younger players.

some out there ( not I ) think that Ted Thompson is looking to put a even bigger stamp on this team by getting rid of all BF favorite guys. This way it will all be Ted Thompson guys.

Ted Thompson is looking to win games any way he can. If it is with players left over from the former regime he will use them. If he can replace players, any of them on the team, with younger (or older if need be) players that have more ability he will do that.

That would be a big mistake if Ted Thompson would cut DD, he has always been one of my favorite players on the team, he is another person that is so down to earth and would stop and sign autographs for anyone.

dfosterf (21h) : Mackelvie

dfosterf (21h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (21h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (23-Apr) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (23-Apr) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (23-Apr) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

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
