Current state of the roster

We've seen a lot of known names being let go or not re-signed last couple seasons, how does this make you feel? Clay Matthews III, Randall Cobb, Ty Montgomery, Nick Perry, John Kuhn and Jordy Nelson to name a few.

Personally, it's kind of like a who is who roster for me. Maybe I'm not following as closely, but outside of Mason Crosby and Aaron Rodgers, I feel like most of these guys are pretty unknown. Yeah, we have David Bahktiari, Bryan Bulaga and few others, but it just feels like who the hell would you buy a jersey with?

Anyhow, what are your thoughts? For me, it just feels kind of depressing that I don't really know many of the Packers players too well as I used to.

Once I finally get some computer time I was planning to do a breakdown on the roster. Some holes filled, many remain.

A Davante Jersey. Or Alexander.

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

As another recently commented, nastagellia has it's place, but one can't allow the past to keep you from moving on to an improved and highly competitive team. The veterans truly have their place on the Packers, yet it will require speed, youth, and a fine sharp edge to win the NFC Championship and move on to the next SB Trophy.
New blood is the order of the day and the upcoming draft will punctuate that point sharply.

Ty Montgomery would have been an interesting utility guy for LeFleur. Dude blew it tho. Can't have that kind of bullshit on the team. I don't even like it from 12.

Now you “youngins” know what I felt like back in 1969!😂
The old guard leaving and new guys coming in.
Most of the guys that left were past their prime. Matthews a perfect example. Cobb wasn’t as good as he was just a few years ago.
I see a bright future with our 2 RBs, and our 2nd year WRs.
And the new additions on defense give me hope.
Yes, we still have holes to fill. But hopefully the draft works out.
One thing that scares me is Davante Adams. He is our “star” WR. But he has had a few awful concussions. One more, and he could be gone.

I don't think they have all the pieces yet, they still NEED (for long term) a
~ FS (draft)
~ coverage ILB (Burk/Jones competition)
~ Blocking TE
~ Power RB (preferably who can be a receiving option)

Though I STILL think keeping Cobb over Nelson was one of the stupidest decisions I've seen, especially when Nelson tried to come back for cheap... sign him for cheap and release Cobb and save money (and IMO get the better player, at least while Rodgers is throwing to them). If nothing else the Rodgers/Nelson chemistry on short yardage.

And I think Gute knew very damn well he was rebuilding for the future and not now with that decision as Gute talked about one of the goal with that move was to set Adams up as the clear #1 guy... which I think had to be clear to everyone, other than Rodgers chemistry reactions.

Gutey made some bold moves, moves that say he wants to win this year.
Hopefully they all work out

Looking ahead to 2020

Mike Daniels DE GB UFA -
Bryan Bulaga RT GB UFA -
Tramon Williams CB GB UFA -
Mason Crosby K GB UFA -
Marcedes Lewis TE GB UFA -
Jason Spriggs T GB UFA -
Kapri Bibbs RB GB UFA -
Kyler Fackrell OLB GB UFA -
Dean Lowry DE GB UFA -
Blake Martinez ILB GB UFA -
Trevor Davis WR GB UFA -
Geronimo Allison WR GB

Off the books after 2019
Daniels, Bulaga, Williams, Crosby and Grahahm(not ufa)
Adds up to apprx 45mil., add another apprx 10mil that the salary cap should go up, The Packers could go into 2020 season with apprx 55mil to spend.
Some of these guys will get resigned, some will not.
Orher than Allison, and Lewis, the rest will be looking to sign 2nd contracts

All in all The Packers are looking solid moving foward .

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

Fan Shout

packerfanoutwest (7h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (7h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (7h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (7h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (8h) : Who? What?

beast (17h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21h) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

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?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
