Ain't afraid to make changes.

The Packers have made an addition to their offensive backfield. The team announced that they have claimed running back Keith Ford off of waivers.

Thus ends the saga of Jason Spriggs. Must really like what they've seen in Alex Light as a back I'd guess.

Perhaps I am in the minority, but I thought Spriggs showed a ton of promise coming out of IU. There, he consistently played well against the top Big 10 competition. I'm not sure what happened.... coaching.... injuries, or whatever, but a high draft pick gone

So who is our LT2? Madison?

Wonder if Kizer is next.

Anybody who was drafted by Ted Thompson should be looking over his shoulder.
Except Aaron Rodgers of course.

I had hoped he would become a solid player for GB. The really sad part is not only is he a second round bust, Uncle Teddy moved up 9 spots to get him giving up their 2nd rounder along with a 4th and 7th round pick as well.

The funny parts of the trade are the 4th round selection by Indy was Antonio Morrison who ended up in GB via the Lenzy Pipkins trade. Indy's 7th round pick was Austin Blythe who didn't do much his 1st 2 seasons but was the starting center for the Rams last year.

Bulaga could play LT. Did so early in his career. We need a swing tackle tho.
