Because that 2014 draft pick isn't 33 years old and the Packers tend to bring in younger guys, not guys already into their thirties.

Ted did bring in Koren Robinson all those years ago. It's not like he never does it, just far less often than those really unknown raw players.

Seems like the Packers don't usually bring vets in unless they already know someone on the inside.

Like Thompson (with the Seahawks) had been around Koren Robinson and Marquand Manuel

Peppers had been coached by DL coach Mike Trgovac (with the Panthers)

I haven't found a direct connection for Pickett and Woodson, but both have an indirect connection of Packers coaches leaving the other teams right before drafted Pickett/Woodson and still could of had connections. Packers DE coach Carl Hairston was the Rams DL coach the year before they drafted Pickett. And Packers CB coach Lionel Washington was with the Raiders (as a player) the year before they drafted Woodson.

TE Kellen Winslow Jr. connection is that he and Packers new TE coach Brian Angelichio were both on the Bucs for an offseason together... before control freak (head coach) Greg Schiano got annoyed he couldn't control Winslow and traded him away.

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat
wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.
wpr (22-Apr) : now 3
Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?
beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?
Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days
beast (18-Apr) : 6 days
wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days
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
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission
dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that
dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?
