The versatility that linebacker Brandon Chillar has shown in his first two seasons in Green Bay likely meant he would get some interest from other teams this offseason as an unrestricted free agent, but the sixth-year pro said he wasn't looking to go anywhere else.

That interest was mutual, as Chillar and the Packers agreed on a long-term contract extension earlier this week.

"It has a lot to do with how happy I am here," Chillar said. "I don't need to go searching for anything else out there when I have everything I need here. I'm happy it got done and I'm happy to be here. I like the organization, love the city, so I'm just happy overall that everything went the way it did."

Rest of Article.

I'm glad that he's happy to be staying in Green Bay. I thought it was interesting that he said he liked the city. That should quiet some of the talk about FA's not wanting to come to Green Bay because of the city.

I'm glad HE is glad! He seems to be a good player, and works hard.

I like that he is happy in Green Bay.
Woodson says he is also happy in Green Bay. I would hope that these guys would also be happy to go out and sell Green Bay to other players when it comes time to bring in free agents.

Nice to see players take a liking to the city. That is a great thing to have when trying to land free agents. What is there NOT to like about Green Bay.
I think the city is built for the older/more mature players such as Woodson and Chillar. They know their job and their life is to play football and Green Bay offers that.

The 23-26 crowd might have a harder time adjusting to a small town...especially when their teammates from college go to big-city teams.
Has Clay Matthews said anything about being in Green Bay? He just comes to mind since his two teammates are in bigger cities. Maluaga(sp)-Cincy and Cushing- Houston....just curious.

I haven't heard anything from Matthews, but I'm pretty sure he likes Green Bay. The guy just seems like a total football junkie. Green Bay is a great place for him. His dad played in Cleveland, which is not a whole lot warmer or more glamorous than Green Bay.

Clay was on Locker Room Live the other night and seemed to be happy that he ended up on Green Bay.
He seemed like he was into the whole Packer mistique.
Like was said previously he seemed like a football junkie who just wanted to play football.
Said he was going to the Hawks for Christmas.

It's funny because the only reason he came here in the first place was because we offered more money than Arizona. Goes to show that players might change their mind about Green Bay once they been here a while.

dfosterf (41m) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (2h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (2h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (2h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (2h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (4h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (15h) : don't care

Zero2Cool (20h) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move
