It's too bad, we can't easily get Rodgers, Matthews, Shields, Pepper and Cobb maybe taking $1 million less... and then asking WR Torrey Smith to taking a million or two less himself and then the Packers could afford it.

Also your logic doesn't make sense to me... if those 3 aren't going to be here next year... wouldn't it make more sense for Smith to be added? Because their would be more cap room... so easier to add him, therefore that would make it more likely.

Basically it'd be a trade off, dropping those 3 to pick up someone else (such as Smith).

But Bulaga can play... at some point I thought they may have to slide him into OG, but he should be able to play there as he's physical enough, if another/better OT steps up sometime in the future.

The reason I think Matthews is a possible cut is because of the guys we need to resign. You have Tretter and Lang on the Oline. Then you have Datone Jones, who's become a valuable player btw, and Nick Perry. Also, you have to prepare to give Randall and Rollins contract extensions.

The NFL is a business, not a fan favorite keep everybody sport. Tough decisions go with managing a cap, and players that are not performing to their contract amounts become expendable.

Why do you think agents and players try to get as much guaranteed money in their contracts?

Torrey Smith = Bad Deal

Montgomery = Deep Threat ( Provided someone wakes the hell up .)

The 2016 Packers greatest current concern, IMO, is at the RB and the CB positions . In addition, if the advantage this team possess' is not cashed in THIS SEASON , a great window of opportunity will slam shut for the Packers. It may then take as long as 5 years for that window to open again .

It was sad watching Wolf and Sherman fuck up what should have been a dynasty with Favre. And it is equally as frustrating watching Ted Thompson fuck up this team.

Oh well, I was lucky to watch the 96 and 2010 teams. Could be worse, we could be Vikings fans.

I thought he sounded like a good addition to our offense, but that price tag is way too high. There is no way that Ted would match that contract, and for good reason. We already have a few guys that aren't earning their monster paychecks.

I am all for paying to get more talent on the roster, but when you figure that Pittsburgh is paying 10 million for Antonio Brown - you can't justify it. If Smith is due 9+ million per year, he would have to be a touchdown machine.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (2h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (2h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (2h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔

dfosterf (6h) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress

dfosterf (7-Aug) : out on a field trip, outfitting them with little yellow smocks. Most of the little folk were well behaved, but several were like trying

dfosterf (7-Aug) : Yesterday my wife and I spent the afternoon on the waterfront here in Alexandria, Va. A daycare company took about 15 three/four year olds

Mucky Tundra (6-Aug) : Travis Glover placed on IR; seasons over for him

Zero2Cool (6-Aug) : found bad sql in database, maybe site faster now?

dfosterf (5-Aug) : I'm going to call that a good move.

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Packers sign CB Corey Ballentine

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : I'm not sure how to kill the draft order just yet so it's not so confusing.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : *to be able

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Zero, I think I preferred my offer: your 1st for my 15th rounder

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : Keep in mind, we do a draft reorder once all members locked in

Zero2Cool (4-Aug) : You can have my 12th Rd for your 2nd round

Mucky Tundra (3-Aug) : Family Night! WE ARE SO BACK!

Mucky Tundra (2-Aug) : To this day, I'm still miffed about his 4 TD game against Dallas on Thanksgiving going to waste

Martha Careful (2-Aug) : Congratulations Sterling Sharpe. He was terrific and I loved watching him play.

beast (2-Aug) : I believe it's technically against the CBA rules, but Jerry just calls it a simple unofficial chat... and somehow gets away with it.

beast (2-Aug) : Jerry Jones is infamous for ̶n̶e̶g̶o̶t̶i̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ chatting with players one on one... and going around the agent.

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Oo just saw a blurb saying that Dallas negotiated directly with Parsons and not through his agent

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I assumed that both guys will get paid, just a matter of when or how we get there

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : McLaurin nor Micah going anywhere. They will get money

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : the Synder years or do they take care of one of their own?

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Do the Commanders risk losing a top WR with an emerging QB just because he's turning 30 and potentially risk damaging the rebuild from

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : Turns 30 this September, plays at a high level and Washington has some cap space I believe

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : More interesting is Washington with Terry McLaurin

Mucky Tundra (1-Aug) : I would imagine Dallas will resolve this issue with a truckload of money

Zero2Cool (1-Aug) : Micah pulling a Myles with trade request
