I figured Martin would be cut. While everyone raves about what a good blocker he is, the fact is he's hardly ever on the field, and his numbers the past three years have been paltry. I am confident that Jermichael Finley in the TE position can contribute more yardage -- and possibly more touchdowns -- in a season than Martin gave us in two.

I'm still a little puzzled by the fact that we're keeping 3 FBs. Mike McCarthy has said his primary focus is on running the ball and playing defense, so apparently he's putting his money where his mouth is. He is also apparently determined to ensure that Rodgers has more protection than he got last year, when he spent half the season running for his life.

Either that, or perhaps Ted Thompson is trying to increase the trade value of his FBs by signing them all to the final roster.

Have Hall in on 3rd down and other passing downs. Quinn comes in on most running downs or where the FB doesn't have to play receiver and Kuhn and Johnson make for an amazing full house duo with Grant in the backfield with them.

Can't think of any other reason. Kuhn really looked like the odd man out for me, but I guess he hung on. Maybe it's his little added value as being the 3rd & 1 and 4th & 1 runner.

Jarrett Bush is currently our #3 Safety with Rouse injured (and unlikely to be ready to go full speed by opening game).

New guy Martin is apparently more of a CB.

The Meredith move worries me. That means we really have nobody on the team right now who is preparing to replace Clifton at LT.

I don't like seeing Anthony Smith go.

I wonder what Rodgers thinks of dropping Martin. They were friends, I hear.

They're professionals. They know this is a business. They know it's inevitable that sooner or later, friends will be parted. I'm sure Rodgers knows as well as we do that Martin will catch on somewhere. Maybe Chicago.

Hope he does. And I know they're professionals, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be a good quote.

I don't think any 3rd string player or his friends (in this case Rodgers) can be surprised if/when he is cut. It would be different if Aaron was as close to Jones and he was cut. Well traded. He is too good to be released out right.

Mucky Tundra (23h) : @AaronNagler · 2m Both Jordan Love and Malik Willis were Limited participants at Packers practice today.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Johnson didn't make it until 2020. Ring 2023. 🤷 Personally, he should have been in years prior to Hall.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : HUMP DAY

beast (8-Jan) : Guys that have a good shot at making the NFL Hall of Fame usually get into their teams pretty fast

beast (8-Jan) : Yeah, but is Kampman and the others in the NFL Hall of Fame?

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Johnson was Hall of Fame, 2020. Should haev been in Ring a year later, not three years.

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : I could be wrong there though

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Guys like Kampman, Tim Harris, Al Harris, etc all over 15 years. Hall of Fame is 5 year wait

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : I guess I see players in Packers Hall come way later

beast (8-Jan) : Yeah, usually teams hall of fames are a much lower bar than the NFL

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : is it uncommon for Hall before Ring?

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : S Xavier McKinney named first-team All-Pro by NFLPA

beast (8-Jan) : I missed it, sorry, but he got into the NFL Hall of Fame years before that

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Jones took his sweet ole time!

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Yeah, he's in the ring of honor, just saw video and his name is up there

Zero2Cool (8-Jan) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (8-Jan) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (8-Jan) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : McCarthy let go or not extended??

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Chicago Bears have asked the Dallas Cowboys permission to interview Mike McCarthy for head coaching vacancy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : The winners page that is

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3.

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats beast on 2024 !

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : congrats porky on winning 2023 pick'em! (oops sorry)

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : Packers have $60M+ of 2025 cap space on paper TODAY.

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Missed FG into a Lions TD; that'll do pig, that'll do

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : That might be it for the Vikings

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : 8 people in pick'em would have won any year with their total lol
