So this is all about cap space because we lack a pass rush and smith was one of the better ones this year. We can pretty much chalk this season up.

I think losing CB Douglas last year hurt more than DE Smith this year and they turned the season around after trading CB Douglas, so I'm not sure we'll see a huge difference and as long as the DEs stay healthy, I'm not sure our odds of winning has changed that much.

I don't know his cap number, I know he has not generated as much pressure, but neither have our other edge guys.

He is the only one who consistently set an edge.

I thank him for his time with us, and wish him the best in all non-Packer games

Go Packers!!!!

The Packers traded Preston Smith prior to Tuesday's deadline--a move that will give Mosby and Cox more snaps moving forward as the Packers search for more pass rush juice.

I've been reading/hearing people say this was going/should happen for a while.
Personally I am sorry to see him go. I was hoping he would be able to retire as a Packer. He has had some good seasons in GB. 2024 wasn't one of them.
Seeing what we can get out of the younger players will be interesting.
The bottom line is they were going to release him at the end of the year because of his contract in 2025 and 26. They restructured him a couple of times to get him in line with his on field performance.
In a twisted away it is sort of like trading him for Willis. Packers are out 1/2 a year of his services and gained 2 years from Malik.

Packers don't treat veterans well at all ...

I don’t know. I read all the factors for moving him.
MLF’s team is youngish and indisciplined at times.
I wonder if the team will miss the veteran leadership in the room?

beast (33m) : Well even if you weren't positive towards a guy, you wouldn't nessarily want to tell the media that (if they don't know about it)

Martha Careful (59m) : I think MLF want Love to look past the end half issues, and feel good about his play. Our coaches generally keep a very positive tone.

beast (1h) : I think a great running game will do that for most QBs

packerfanoutwest (1h) : Coach Matt LaFleur has said quarterback Jordan Love is playing the best football of his career.

beast (12h) : Oh, that's how you keep beating buckeye, with cheating

Zero2Cool (20h) : There is a rule that if your name starts with 'b' you lose 15 points. Hey, I don't make the rules, I just enforce them!

wpr (22h) : and then there is Beast. Running away with it all.

beast (20-Dec) : As of tonight, 3 way tie for 2nd in Pick'em, that battle is interesting!

beast (20-Dec) : Lions vs Vikings could be the main last game as it could determine division winners or #1 vs #2 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : The entirety of week 18 being listed as flex is weird

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Matt LaFleur today says unequivocally "Ted Thompson had nothing to do with the drafting of Jordan Love."

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Apparently, the editing is what pieces comments together. That Ted thing ... fake news.

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Mucky Tundra (19-Dec) : Kyle Shanahan on signing De'Vondre Campbell as a FA last offseason: “We obviously made a mistake.”

packerfanoutwest (19-Dec) : Alexander’s last season with GB

Martha Careful (18-Dec) : if I were a professional athlete, I would probably look to see who the agent is for Kirk Cousins and then use him

beast (18-Dec) : $100 million fully guaranteed Kirk Cousins gets benched for rookie

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : a lower case b

Mucky Tundra (18-Dec) : The real lie is how beast capitalized his name in his message while it's normally spelled with

packerfanoutwest (18-Dec) : haha that's a lie

beast (17-Dec) : Despite what lies other might tell, Beast didn't hate the Winter Warnings, it felt refreshing to Beast for some reason.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst

Martha Careful (17-Dec) : The Viking uniforms, the whiteout uniforms specifically absolutely suck

beast (17-Dec) : Thanks Zero2Cool, looks a lot better now

beast (17-Dec) : Seems like someone has a crush on me, can't stop talking about me

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : Should be gooder now. The forum default theme went to goofy land.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : What the hell

packerfanoutwest (17-Dec) : yeah beast hates the Winter Warning Unies

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Okay I'm glad to know it's not just something happening to me lol

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Zero, did you copy the Packers uniforms from last night and white out the board?

beast (16-Dec) : Oh crap, is the board going to the Winter Warning Uniforms too?!? It's all white on white right now!

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : WR Odell Beckham Jr is officially a free agent after clearing waivers.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Packers are 6th in sacks.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : RB David Montgomery will undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : Dan Campbell on onside kick with 12 minutes left: In hindsight, wish I didn’t do that

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : They have that whole 12th man thing so ...

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : Of the times we've played there, I just can't recall hearing our fans.

wpr (16-Dec) : Well done jdlax. Well done.

wpr (16-Dec) : I think more likely to be Pack fans that live in the area.

wpr (16-Dec) : Pack fans represent. I pointed it out early in the game to my wife. Announcers said Packers travel well.

Zero2Cool (16-Dec) : That was crazy to hear go pack go in Seattle of all plays. That 12 man thing an all

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, good man!

jdlax (16-Dec) : Mucky, there were too many of us there to credit any single one but for sure i was 60% responsible.

Mucky Tundra (16-Dec) : jdlax, I assume you were among the Packer fans that got the "Go Pack Go!" chant going in the first quarter. Very appreciated!

jdlax (16-Dec) : We are doing the thing out west my friends

beast (16-Dec) : Damn, should have picked the Buccaneers over Chargers

beast (15-Dec) : Note: DuBose was just going all out for questionable location ball, probably never saw the defender. Bad idea to throw it there.
