Right now I am waiting to see what happens on June 1 and 2. That's the date Packers will free up cap space if they decide to trade a player currently on the team.

Just saying. The Packers not having ARod's back is a croc. Thirty QB's out there would have given their right nut to play behind what GB has given Rodgers.

Zero2Cool (2h) : Packers have signed first-round pick Matthew Golden, leaving second-round tackle Anthony Belton as their only unsigned draft pick

Zero2Cool (10h) : he giving up his win business?

beast (19h) : Speaking of Woodson, sounds like he'll be a minority owner (0.1%) of the Browns

Mucky Tundra (15-May) : Zero, regarding Woodson, that'd why I find the timing with Williams peculiar

dfosterf (15-May) : Ryan Hall y'all does a great job of tracking thesr

Mucky Tundra (15-May) : IE "We bought into the Bears and they let us down, we have no choice to seek alternatives"

Mucky Tundra (15-May) : Or that Williams and his family are preparing an exit ramp if they don't like how things are going in a few years

Mucky Tundra (15-May) : Either Williams thought it would make him look good (reluctant but then embraces the city and franchise)

Mucky Tundra (15-May) : I can only assume that the Williams camp agreed to cooperate with that article tells me 2 things

Zero2Cool (15-May) : True, that was awesome. The whole F thing was great actually.

dfosterf (15-May) : I did like the Mark Murphy part, sorta

Zero2Cool (15-May) : Some comments on it saying it was great, amazing... I came away thinking... awkward.

dfosterf (15-May) : Packers schedule release video is "interesting" I guess.

beast (13-May) : I was kind of hoping Douglas might come back to the Pack

beast (13-May) : My question is how much do we trust Jenkins? In bad weather, he seemed to struggle a bit with ball control snapping, though he started at OG

beast (13-May) : Well Jenkins probably knows he's not getting that 2026 salary number without a new contact... so just trying to get the new contact early

Zero2Cool (13-May) : CB Rasul Douglas is visiting the #Seahawks today, per source.

dfosterf (13-May) : He's a switch and baiter. Its the same as a bait and switcher except he agreed to the switch first lol
