Wayne is OLD.
I can see GB "kicking the tires", but I would be SHOCKED if they had any serious thought of signing him.
James Jones is a known product, and a lot younger. If you were going to get a guy, one that knows the offense would make more sense to me.
There are just so many roster spots.

Andre Rison 1996.

Zero hit on it.

Due diligence.

Rison became available in the middle of the season.

Could be Ted has contacted Wayne and let him know that if he is still unsigned and for say TC injury problems crop up The Packers would be interested.

That is my guess, never completely rule out any player, especially one with Wayne's experience.

I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!

I agree with others that Jones may make more sense, but will he sign a vet minimum contract or something close to that?

It'd be an interesting signing, but even assuming they carry six receivers, do you give up a roster spot to an aging veteran receiver versus a young prospect who has more potential to make an impact long term. Wayne right now would probably be a 4th option at best on the team unless he beats out Adams and you keep Cobb in the slot where he'd be the most effective in three receiver sets.

Then Seattle could sign one of the other 6 the team would cut, giving them a player with a decade of upside in front of him.

Z2C talks about Jordy's injury not healed; Steve and Micheal Rodney not buying it. And I agree this makes no sense. If there's real interest: Something is wrong. Jordy's hurt; Jordy/Cobb and/or Adams just got hit with a PED suspension that's in the process of appeal [this stuff is not announced until the appeal process is over]; Janis and Abby had a 3some w/ Zook's daughter; etc

But, I doubt it. My guess: It's just an agent trying to manufacture demand for his client. sure GB is interested like Buckeye said: to bring him in for a work out, see how he's doing and place him on the emergency list in case a bunch of WRs go down. GB isn't interested in dispelling their interest because at worst it'll help drive up the $$ for a competitor.

As much as I like Reggie, he is old and has lost a step. If someone isn't ready to go for some reason, it wouldn't be a bad idea to at least see what he has left. Beyond the possibility of a #1-3 WR missing significant time I can't see them making this move.

Always hard to say what is going on behind closed doors.

If they were interested then, there would be no reason not to be now.

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."

When you have a quarterback like Rodgers, there is no need to make a move like this.

Reggie Wayne brings little to nothing to the Packers offense. The Packers are one team that can actually use the term "next man up" and be successful doing so.

It is time for Cobb to take on his bigger role as the legit #1 WR. It is time for DeVante to take an even bigger step in his 2nd year and the guys who were all fighting for a position behind the big three now have their chance to shine, whether it be Montgomery, Janis or White.

Rodgers can make these guys look better than they already are.
