Never mind the burning of his Cheesehead as part of his recruiting pitch for Aaron Rodgers, what Jets cornerback Ahmad Gardner said is more interesting.

Rodgers coming as a package deal?

PS: Teams have to be under the Cap at 4 PM Eastern on March 15 for the new league year. My guess is no trade happens until after that.

Also, basically as I posted the first message, it was announced Bakhtiari's contract was restructured, meaning that he's probably not going anywhere either, as Packers just took on a lot of his pay officially, which means less likely to be traded.

Go Packers!!!!

Gardner is being a moron for fun. He's trying to get viewers/subscribers. Why is this so hard for people to grasp?

Also, doesn't Rodgers have a $40 million or something dead cap hit coming as soon as he's not on the Packers active roster anymore? Weather he retires or is traded.

Is Rasheed Walker ready to step up?

RFAs are rarely signed by other teams though. And $4.3m is pretty reasonable for young swing tackle who may still improve, especially when your star LT is 31 yards old and has missed more games than he has played the last 3 years. So I don't think it would make much sense to tender him and trade him for less than a 2nd round pick. Unless they really need that cap space for someone else.

But yeah, they could get a 2 for him if there's a team out there that really needs a tackle. But I would guess most teams in that situation would be more comfortable drafting one in the second round instead.

beast (22h) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (23h) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (23h) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (23h) : beast, according the Falcons statement Jax came across it on an ipad. If I had to guess, probably an open spread sheet or something

Zero2Cool (23h) : Simmons put up an emoji with cheese.

beast (27-Apr) : Not sure anyone is interested in Isaiah Simmons... Collin Oliver might of taken his potential slot

beast (27-Apr) : I'm going with Jax Ulbrich is not telling the whole truth... he accidentally came across it? Why would a defensive coordinator have a QB #?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : He's not that great, but final piece of the script.\

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : If we add Isaiah Simmons, book your Super Bowl tickets

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Colts 1st round TE Tyler Warren also got prank called, was that Jax Ulbrich as well?

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Jax Ulbrich, Jeff Ulbrich’s son, released an apology for his role in the Shedeur Sanders prank call.

Martha Careful (27-Apr) : apparently he did not participate in practice or play on the east west shrine game nor the NFL combine. The kid was a mediocre spoiled brat

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Yeah that one that was a super wounded duck that Sanders supporters are highlighting to prove a point

Zero2Cool (27-Apr) : Shough is the guy who missed guys at combine isn't he?

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Agree

dfosterf (26-Apr) : Great idea imo

dfosterf (26-Apr) : 1st round to 7 minutes with one extension

Martha Careful (26-Apr) : Bum Phillips used to say there are two ways to get better. Get better players or get players to play better. We have a new DL coach

Zero2Cool (26-Apr) : Yes. Look at the losses last year. They can win.

beast (26-Apr) : Can Packers win with their current DL?

bboystyle (26-Apr) : waiting for a pass rusher.

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 5 minutes between picks in the 3rd

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 3rd. Hate this phone

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 4rd

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 5 minutes in the 4

dfosterf (25-Apr) : 7 minutes between picks in the 2nd round

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : Sorry to bitch, but the headline writers in that section absolutely mislead, or don't know how to read. It is maddening

Martha Careful (25-Apr) : No thanks. Not a dependable guy to be in the right place and run the right route. Dumb as a box of rocks.

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : Losing 2nd round pick for a one year rental, not ideal. Especially a headcase.
