Watch this guy and how hard he is to go down. Just one tough SOB...he runs it out of the backfield like Randall Cobb mixed with Eddie Lacy. He brings a varied skill set with impressive measurables that no one else can touch for a TE. His vertical was just .5" less than Davante Adams. He outjumped all TE's at combine by 4". You don't find guys like him very often. Conversely, you don't find guys with his character too often, either. I'm going to bet if he played another position he wouldn't have such a stigma. Aaron Hernandez and the comparison has to make teams nervous. Who wants to take on a troubled TE who could may go Aaron Hernandez on you? I have not read anything about violence but some stuff regarding him has been kept quiet from what I read, if memory serves.

So did our new problem child get signed or not?

Packers general manager Ted Thompson said after Saturday’s final practice that he intended to take the rest of the weekend to consider those tryout players – including Lyerla, the troubled ex-University of Oregon tight end – and if any of them merited signing, those moves would be made on Monday.

“It’ll be a couple days before we settle on that,” Thompson said Saturday. “We’ll probably have that by Monday.”

Ted Thompson never said Monday was the day, for sure...just that they should have it sorted out and ready to announce Monday.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

I'm going to laugh at the reactions when we sign Ike Ariguzo instead of Lyerla

I look at them like I do those football follies type films. It doesn't really matter who is making the plays because at some point all NFL caliber players make similar plays. They are just fun to watch.

Except when its vikings players making the follies. Those are extra funny.

Lyerla is IN! Raymond Webber is OUT. Miami DE Luther Robinson also in. Khyri signed his contract, as well.

Zero2Cool (4h) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (7h) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (7h) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (9h) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (9h) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (9h) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (9h) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (9h) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (9h) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (9h) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (9h) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (9h) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (9h) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (9h) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (9h) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (10h) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (11h) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (11h) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (11h) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Will there be a tracker on the ball or something?
