Now that Eric Stokes is no longer a Packer, it might be worthwhile for a reporter to ask him what he thinks about the Packers and Alexander relationship. Not sure he'd be willing to weigh in at this juncture, but it is certainly worth a try. Zero could get a mic and a little Packershome mic sign doo dad and head to Vegas. It's nice this time of year, lol

Scoop Aaron Nagler and launch his new career! (Maybe side gig)

If we are cutting just to save cap space why isn't Kenny Clark's name brought up? I am sure we could find someone for half the money to get 37 tackles for the year. Cut him we save $10 million with post June 1st cut. Think of this Alexander played in 7 games and had 16 tackles, Clark played in 17 games and had 37 and 8 of those were in 1 game. But we don't hear of any of that talk.

Thoughts?

Kenny Clark is playing, he's on the field.

So you're paying for something and getting something with Clark. And with Jaire you're paying for something and getting nothing. That's the difference between the two. They would love to have Jaire on the roster, but if he's not going to play, why pay? Are you going to pay $5,000 a month for a car you can't drive or would you get rid of it and cut your losses?

Opponents felt they could because whoever was playing the other DT (Wyatt, Wooden, Brooks) was average at best and they felt they could 1 on 1 that person sans risk.

Yes I would like more, but he would be difficult to replace.

Go Packers!!!!

Well, technically, I guess they could release him before his roster bonus kicks in and save $10.5 millions, but they would have to release him in the next two or three days, otherwise that roster bonus locks in.

Plus while Clarks quality of play has been slipping for years (since like 2018), he's still eating up a HUGE amount of snaps... like you would probably have to sign two guys to replace the amount of snaps he gets on the field for... he's got the endurance.

"Yeah, X (Xavier McKinney) reached out to me, Rashan Gary, Jaire Alexander actually congratulated me, and yeah, those guys so far." - Nate Hobbs

That's interesting to me. And makes me think Packers might keep Jaire.

But notice Clark had 685, where the next DT had only 440, and I think there was a good jump between #2 and #3.

BTW guys I wasn't saying we should release Clark was just using him as an example of someone with a huge contract that could be cut to save money. I still think Jaire is worth the extra money even if for only 7 games compared to just releasing him. Time for coaches and players to bury the feelings and do whats best for business.

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Jaire reached out to the new CB already, I think that's a good sign.

beast (7h) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (11h) : meh

Zero2Cool (16h) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (16h) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (16h) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (19h) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (19h) : Only 4

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

dfosterf (22h) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

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

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
