Packers should go after DT Nick Fairley

The Lions have begun informing agents around the NFL that they're out of the mix for free agent Nick Fairley who turned 27 earlier this year. What value do you think he would add to the Packers?

I think he would be a good addition. It was being said that since he got his weight under control that he was one helluva force that you had to account for. The Packers need someone like that.

Maybe... Just maybe, I'd take a shot at him on a one year prove it contract.

He's had all the chances in the world to get it going, but he never managed to. That the Lions didn't even want to pick up his 5th year and now don't even want him back speaks volumes.

I recall him playing damn good against us. If he is healthy and if he is not terribly expensive, I'd take him. I think he will be pretty high priced, based on the fact that he ain't that much less a player than Suh.

Would fill a position of need on a team that is built nicely to win now.

Ideal world...one year prove it team but hasn't Fairley been cited before to having weight/motivation issues?

Move would be fairley impressive.

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've wanted to take a chance on Fairley if it's not too expensive as he's shown some pass rush (at least in a 4-3).

Of course Suh often got doubled team giving Fairley more one on one chances. So an in depth look at his tape might suggest he's not as good as his numbers because he was one on one more. And I think the Packers are more looking for a NT than a 3-4 DE right now and I'm thinking Fairly might fit more towards the 3-4 DE.

beast (3h) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (3h) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (4h) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (4h) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (4h) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (4h) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (4h) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (4h) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (5h) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (5h) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (5h) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (5h) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (5h) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (6h) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

beast (7h) : It's not official until I'm dead! I have a chance still! (Not really)

Mucky Tundra (16h) : I could feel my body decomposing in real time when I read that

Mucky Tundra (16h) : @MIKEYSAINRISTIL Tyler Shough will officially be the last person drafted to the NFL born in the 1900’s

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : saw the tweet, he meant the city

Mucky Tundra (26-Apr) : Was that for the team or the city?

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter · 3m Draft grade is in: Green Bay gets an A. The people, the city, the venue were all superb. NFL Draft’s next

TheKanataThrilla (26-Apr) : Sam Howell to Vikings...guess no Aaron

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : 1 round 7 min, with one extra minute if there is a trade. 2nd round 4 minutes, 3rd -3, 2 thereafter IMO

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Agree

dfosterf (26-Apr) : Great idea imo

dfosterf (26-Apr) : 1st round to 7 minutes with one extension

dfosterf (26-Apr) : NFL comissioner wants to shorten the 2st

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 5 minutes in the 4

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 7 minutes between picks in the 2nd round

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : Sorry to bitch, but the headline writers in that section absolutely mislead, or don't know how to read. It is maddening

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : No thanks. Not a dependable guy to be in the right place and run the right route. Dumb as a box of rocks.

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : Losing 2nd round pick for a one year rental, not ideal. Especially a headcase.

TheKanataThrilla (25-Apr) : Pickens for Jaire may be interesting. Definitely not sure we want Pickens long term.

dfosterf (25-Apr) : No.Absolutely not

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : NO NO NO NO NO NO!!1 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

dhazer (25-Apr) : scenario: Our main prospects are off the board when our pick comes around, do we just throw a 2nd round pick at Pittsburgh for Pickens
