This could be interesting. I have only heard the guy is kind of trouble.

The Jets announced the release of defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson last week and it looks like we know what his first stop will be as he tries to find a new team for the 2018 season.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Wilkerson is expected to make a visit to Green Bay to kick off his job search.

Cheap deal with low signing bonus and some motivational stats based funds then I'd be alright! I don't want another quitter this year!

I do find it curious that we are his first stop. There must be some mutual interest. Guy may have some issues, I do like the guys we have on the DL so hopefully that can motivate him in the right direction. If the price is right this could be a pretty decent signing of us.

Since he is getting cut we can sign him right away, right? And he won't affect the compensatory picks? Hear lots of concerns of laziness and missing meetings, but did any of that happen while he was playing for pettine? Or while the jets were mildly competitive? I like the idea if he is cheap and the above answers are no.

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

Correct Gbguy...if cut he does not count against comp pics. He played hard before his 85 million dollar contract, now all the issues. Packers better get him for damn cheap if at all...we don't need Marty Bennett 2.0

The Jets released Wilkerson for a good reason and they must feel that they can do better. GB does not need to import problems. A visit maybe, but let's not take on another teams problem child.

Sometimes an old dog just says he can change, but then he's your teams new disruption. I don't think Wilkerson is a good fit for the Packers. [thumbdn]

If they sign him to a one year deal, he'll hopefully be plenty motivated to rebuild his stock.

I don't know if Wilkerson is going to be the answer or not. When I look at his stats I see a player who has declined in production the last 2 years. Maybe it's caching philosophy. Maybe he was frustrated with the team. I don't know.

What I do know is GB needs help on the DL. A quick look at DL production-

            Age	 G	GS	PD	FF	Sk	Tkl	Ast	AV
Mike Daniels 28	14	14	0   1	5.0	34	15	9
Kenny Clark  22	15	15	1	2	4.5	32	23	7
Dean Lowry   23	16	11	2	0	2.0	18	14	6

Wilkerson    28  13	12	4    0	3.5	26	20	6 1 Int

Maybe Montravius Adams will step up. Maybe not. Even if he does we still need another DL who can fill the gap.

Maybe he will be the answer for a year or two. Maybe he will be another Marty Bennett. No one can say for sure.

He was going to count $20M on the Jets cap. Perhaps the Jets could have restructured, but this is also a cap dump as well. I am thinking if the price is right and with Pettine's blessing this can be a great signing.

beast (5h) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (5h) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (5h) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.

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

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) : 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
