hahahahaha I really don't know. I was just throwing the name out there as only slightly more outrageous than Lyerla.

I didn't know about the number thing.

I would tend to think the insurance claim is with some private company, and once the check is cashed, anything goes. The more likely stumbling block is that NFL teams wouldn't touch him because of the injury.

As for penalizing players who hit the clubs rather than act like Walter Payton, well, you'd probably be penalizing about 2/3 of the league - across generational and racial lines. Calling it detrimental to the team, especially in the off-season, is a tough case to make. They're having a hard time keeping Mariota off his surf board, which arguably is more risky than a night out on the town.

I'd still rather have Quarless back than most of the alternatives for a second TE, although it wouldn't break me up to see him cut either. I'm pretty sure that can be done without even invoking any morals clause or whatever. As for his retiring, I really doubt that. This isn't that big a deal; At worst, he serves a not too terrible suspension and resurfaces with some other team.

Quarless truly is a dumb ass. The whole story is pretty damn stupid and honestly sounds like something off the new series on HBO, Ballers. There could be so much that goes into this decision for the NFL and the Packers because this is his first offense...but his first offense is firing a gun...at women. (I don't care where he fired it at).

The good news is, he is expendable. With Richard Rodgers most likely taking the TE1 spot, the Packers are in a good place with a starter. We have the best quarterback in the league so filling in the depth at the position shouldn't be that much of a concern. If he does get cut, there are limited options if we really do need the depth.

Lyerla- I wouldn't sign him back. Physically talented freak, but mentally weak.

Gresham- Wouldn't be a bad signing but might come with a little more of a price tag. There are reports that the Saints have been looking at him for a few months. With their TE needy situation, why haven't they signed him already?

Not mentioned yet...why not Tom Crabtree? Already has a solid rapport with a lot of the guys on offense, can run block his ass off, has special team significance and has zero off-field issues. His only downfall is he loves Nickelback...

Is Tony Gonzalez open to coming out of retirement for his shot at a ring? 🙂

We gave his number to Montgomery didn't we?

I thought Finley put in for an insurance claim? Can he do that while still being an active football player or do you have to retire?

We'll really get to see what this kid is made of now that the spotlight might be shone upon him. Please, sign a vet so we don't have all our eggs in this guys basket. Not sure that's going to end well if we don't.

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."
