There will be more monkey business all next week. Some think the smokescreen is thick when attempting to keep some players on the PS.

Maybe they sign Sitton to a lower contract.

Stay tuned.

I'm waiting to see if they give Peppers the boot. That guy is NOT worth the money they're paying him. If we're in salary cap mode it makes sense to cut Julius.

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 could be wrong, but I'm assuming they sign another LS (maybe Goode) and they have 3 more cuts to make... even though they're currently at 55 players on the active roster.

Normally they keep about 10 DB (a few times 11)... and right now they have 13 DBs... so I'm thinking at least two more DB releases to come. My guesses are S Whitehead and CB Dorleant (since it was reported S Evans has made it, and I liked Brice to make the final roster).

Whomever is cut has been cut for over an hour. Why we don't know is frustrating. We should know all the cuts by now but our org is in chaos so I understand we can't get the cuts out.

No big deal. No disarray.

But sounds like they might keep 12 DBs (or maybe surprise me with a cut or some bad info on who's being kept). They're down to 55 players (with no LS at the moment).

I'm guessing S Whitehead is not going to make it. And maybe another player gets placed on the IR? (pure guess by my part).

Peppers should go... If Sitton went in youth movement for his money then there is no way Peppers is justifiable with his.

The cuts aren't over... but there currently are still 4 ILBers with Martinez, Ryan, Thomas and Brown.... of course there are also currently 7 S and 6 CBs... but reports have suggested that CBs Gunter, Hawkins, Dorleant and S Banjo, Brice and Evans have all told reporters (well them or their agents have told reporters) that they have been told by the Packers that they have made the final 53 man roster (currently).

A couple of these guys who "made it" are going to be cut after Pennel and Linsley return. Two of them or 3 if we keep Goodson around.

Martha Careful (45m) : Chicago produces a pope before it produces a 4000 yard passing quarterback

wpr (1h) : HAHAHA Mucky Comment of the day.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : According to reports, Mel Kiper is furious that Sanders wasn't selected as the new Pope

Zero2Cool (3h) : Time taken to get picked:

Zero2Cool (3h) : New Pope: 2 days | Shedeur Sanders: 3 days

Zero2Cool (4h) : Collin Whitchurch @cowhitchurch · 1h Chicago got a pope before it got a QB to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.

Mucky Tundra (4h) : New Pope from Chicago; in other words, the city produced a Pope before a 4000 yard passer

beast (7-May) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing 😏

Zero2Cool (7-May) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.

Zero2Cool (7-May) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Zero2Cool (7-May) : You saw me Tweet???

beast (7-May) : Supposedly Steelers will be trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys for a 3rd and late round pick swap

Zero2Cool (5-May) : Cardinals have signed TE Josiah Deguara.

Zero2Cool (5-May) : If I were to "Google" it, then I wouldn't read it in your words.

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : February 5, 2002 (age 23) ok no. packers.com is wrong

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Micah Robinson is only 19??

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : 6 first rounders on Packers defense now

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : LB Isaiah Simmons. Signed. Called it!!! Oh yeah!

Martha Careful (29-Apr) : ty bboystyle...fat fingers

bboystyle (29-Apr) : Tom*

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (27-Apr) : 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 (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : 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 (27-Apr) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : 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 (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\
