Lets see.. 5th year pro out of FSU... Florida State baby.. contended for the Outland trophy in college and has experience at LT.. whats more.. he can be obtained for a 2nd?

That might be attractive for the Packers and Thompson.. a solid player at a premium position for a 2nd..

Rams ready to part ways with Alex Barron
Posted by Michael David Smith on March 1, 2010 10:40 AM ET
St. Louis offensive tackle Alex Barron started all 16 games last year for the Rams. But the team may be ready to part ways with him.

Barron, who has five years of NFL experience, is set to become a restricted free agent. And Jim Thomas of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the Rams informed Barron's agents Sunday night that they will be asking for only second-round draft pick compensation when they turn their tender offers into the league office this week.

Basically, even though the Rams are entitled to get first-round compensation for Barron, they want the rest of the league to know that Barron is available and that they'd be happy to take a second-round draft pick for him.

The Rams expect Jason Smith, last year's second overall draft pick, to be this year's starter at left tackle. And rather than play Barron at right tackle, they'd like to look elsewhere for a right tackle, and pick up an extra second-round pick.

I just read that, too, although I don't think it'd take a 2nd to get him and I would hope Ted wouldn't dig that deep with all the o-line talent in this year's draft class.

I'd give up a 4th for him, though - maybe even a third. Had 7 false-starts last year and gave up 2.5 sacks.

You should have NEVER let me see that site, lol lol lol

Wade and Foster want a graph like this

OK- I'm messin' with ya, but it would sure be nice to have a good one, even though that is looking a lot like hitting the lottery.

It depends on the film I guess. Keep in mind his QB has been Marc Bulger. Of all QBs who have joined the NFL since 2000 only David Carr has been sacked more times than Bulger.

Let's break it down a bit here. The guy was a first round pick and has played for the Rams. If the other four players on your line suck, you probably won't end up looking much better unless you're extremely talented. Plus if your team has lost (badly) ever since you got there your motivation level might be pretty low. All I'm saying is being on the Rams might have held this guy back a bit.

Now I personally would say it's risky to throw a 2nd round pick for this guy but who knows, a change of scenery might help him out a little bit. It's done the same for other players careers.

I'll admit I don't know anything about Barron though, I'm just speculating. 🙂

Alex Barron was probably the worst player on their line, PFT says he might be released soon. The interior of their line is actually quite decent.

Zero2Cool (2m) : New Pope: 2 days | Shedeur Sanders: 3 days

Zero2Cool (57m) : Collin Whitchurch @cowhitchurch · 1h Chicago got a pope before it got a QB to throw for 4,000 yards in a season.

Mucky Tundra (1h) : New Pope from Chicago; in other words, the city produced a Pope before a 4000 yard passer

beast (7-May) : My first name starts with R and my beer belly is quite voluptuous! Thank you for noticing 😏

Zero2Cool (7-May) : beast, you're just one R from being voluptuous.

Zero2Cool (7-May) : And now some Packers blogger is like Doubs to Steelers makes sense!!!!

Zero2Cool (7-May) : You saw me Tweet???

Martha Careful (5-May) : Yes, in the military S2’s work on IPB, PERCEC, PHYSEC and IO

dfosterf (4-May) : FYI civilian companies swipe the S2 designation from the military. S2 is the intelligence branch up to brigade level. G2 is division level.

dfosterf (4-May) : Google it. Make sure to tack NFL on it or you will get the military meaning

Zero2Cool (4-May) : S2?

beast (4-May) : Seems like the S2 has a love/hate relationship with professional scouts.

beast (4-May) : In theory, the S2 test how quickly a QBs brain can solve game like issues and how quickly they can do it.

dfosterf (4-May) : Are you gentlemen and at least one lady familiar with the S2 cognition

Zero2Cool (4-May) : Maybe there isn't an issue.

beast (4-May) : NFL really needs to fix their position labeling issue, but I don't think they care

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Packers did not activate the fifth-year options for linebacker Quay Walker, with the goal of signing him to a contract extension.

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Matthew Golden spoke with Randall Cobb before draft. Looked like chance encounter.

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : from a head left turn?

packerfanoutwest (1-May) : someone drunk?

Zero2Cool (1-May) : Unlikely.

dfosterf (30-Apr) : How long until Jeff Sperbeck's family sues John Elway ?

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : Packers are exercising the fifth-year option on DT Devonte Wyatt, locking in a guaranteed $12.9M for the 2026 season.

beast (30-Apr) : Sounds like P Luke Elzinga has a rookie try out opportunity from the Titans

dfosterf (30-Apr) : Luke Elzinga Punter Oklahoma stil unsigned. Green Bay has been mentioned as good fit

beast (30-Apr) : The Packers re-signed three exclusive rights free agents WR Melton, P Whelan and RB Wilson.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : February 5, 2002 (age 23) ok no. packers.com is wrong

bboystyle (29-Apr) : Tom*

Martha Careful (28-Apr) : RIP Packer Safety Tim Brown

beast (27-Apr) : Yeah, but also some of the wording suggestions Jax only pranked called the QB, not the others... and if he had an open spreadsheet & 3 calls

beast (27-Apr) : Thank goodness he's not leaving the Turtle in the Red Tide

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : Cowboys 1st round pick Tyler Booker will indeed be bringing his pet turtle to Dallas with him

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : that contained all prospects info and contact

Mucky Tundra (27-Apr) : 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 (27-Apr) : 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.
