Personally, I don't see Thompson offering a contract to a player who refuses a coach's order to come off the field, especially with all the money already invested in that position...but stranger things have happened.


Packers, Bills, Chargers could be candidates for Porter
Posted by Mike Florio on February 12, 2010 5:50 PM ET
The last time linebacker Joey Porter abruptly was cut, he quickly landed on his feet.

And with a contract carrying $20 million in guaranteed money.

Though he's three years older, there's surely a team or two out there willing to give the soon-to-be 33-year-old defender a chance.

Here's an easy way to begin connecting the dots -- look to the guys who were in Miami when Porter picked up that contract with $20 million of it fully guaranteed.

Defensive coordinator Dom Capers is now the defensive coordinator in Green Bay, and the Packers are still making the transition from 4-3 to 3-4. Porter would be an upgrade over Aaron Kampman, who seems to be far more suited to playing defensive end on a four-man line.

Then there are the Bills. New defensive coordinator George Edwards was Porter's position coach in 2007.

How about the Chargers? Former Miami G.M. Randy Mueller is now an exec in San Diego.

The Cowboys could be an alternative, if Porter is willing to accept a backup role behind DeMarcus Ware or Anthony Spencer. Former Dolphins defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni, who worked with Porter each of the past two years, has returned to the defensive staff in Dallas.

Of course, there's a chance that anyone who has worked with Porter will want to have nothing further to do with him.

So maybe we should be looking at teams with a 3-4 defense -- and a coaching staff with no prior exposure to Porter.

When I first saw that he had been released, I thought to myself that he would be a good pick up. However, I would much rather have Shawne Merriman.

But this would certainly be a great pick up, and an upgrade over Kampy.

How the hell is he a douche? Aside from Clay Matthews, he'd already be the best OLB on the team.

If you were the best linebacker on your team, and the coach wanted to sit you in favor of a player who simply had upside and no defined skill, you wouldn't be mad?

You're paid millions of dollars to play. That's exactly what Porter was expecting. Instead, coach benches him.

He didn't complain when Pittsburgh didn't re-sign him because he knew James Harrison was good. Cameron Wake is good, but nowhere in the league of Joey Porter--that's why he was upset.

I'd rather have a player upset about his playing time than a player upset about his money.

he was a douche waaaaaaay before he got benched. ya think that his being a giant douche had much to do with him getting benched for an inferior player? lol. You kind of just made my point.

He's basically said if he's not gonna be happy... unless he's the starter and paid like one...

He's already proven he's not always listen to the coaches....

I'm not sure why the Packers would bring him in... I rather let Jones get growing and bring in someone to compete with him and push him... that is a team player...

What kind of a relationship did Capers have with him when they worked togther? They did work together right?

dfosterf (27-Aug) : Nick Nieman from Texans our 5th linebacker. Special teams signing
TheKanataThrilla (27-Aug) : Looks like we signed Clayton Tune as QB3
wpr (27-Aug) : TKT people lose their minds over QB3. Point is almost none of them are ready that's why they are on the PS and other teams don't take them.

dfosterf (27-Aug) : If Jerry traded Micah to GB, here in northern Va. they would have to quick build yet another data center to handle the internet hate traffic
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : its signing and trades that you don't hear about, other then announced
Zero2Cool (27-Aug) : If you hear rumors about Packers sign or trade, won't happen. Not how they work
dfosterf (27-Aug) : 19 players in a contract year. Jones called loss to us worst loss in Cowboy history. Forget Parsons trade. Not happenin' Cap'n
