You do one thing.
Whatever it takes to sign DeSean Jackson in free agency. That means trading anyone besides Rodgers. Of course, there's no reason to worry about TT going after a credible receiver.
Our top 2 receivers are better than Jackson. Jackson is all speed. Hands, Route Running, Personality, etc.. All better than Jackson.
You're out your damn mind. DeSean Jackson has attitude problems.. he is the exact opposite of what we need on our team. Jennings and Nelson get the job done, and it doesn't hurt that we have the best QB in the league throwing them the ball. Get real.Jackson...speed and danger. Something the packers don't have.
1. What do you do with Grant? Let him walk
2. Wells? Make it a PRIORITY TO RESIGN HIM
3. Finley? See what he wants. Resign him if he wants to be reasonable. If not, take the compensatory draft pick
4. Flynn? Franchise and try to move to Cleveland or Seattle. Cleveland does have a second 1st rounder!
5. Driver? Hope he retires. If not, make the tough decision and let him go.
6. Clifton? Keep him for another year if he doesn't retire.
7. Draft? Take the best defensive player available in the first three rounds.
8. FA? I would like a signing like Anthony Spencer or Robert Mathis. By taking care of a need in free agency the Packers would be able to draft the best defensive player available. I would also see what Peyton Hillis wants. His type of running would add a unique dynamic to the offense. He could be the thunder to Green's/Saine's lightening.
9. Any other adjustments you make? Woodson to safety? Woodson should stay as a shadow on the opposing team's best player. I would adjust Charlie Pephra so he is no longer on the team.
1. What do you do with Grant----Good Bye
2. Wells---Must sign
3. Finley---Tag
4. Flynn---mutually beneficial sign and trade
5. Driver---Welcome back...take the spot of quarless
6. Clifton----Great career but its over
7. Draft----olb, de, s, cb, de, olb, o line
8. FA- Browner from Seattle
9. Get DJ Smith ready to start and save AJ for short yardage situations
How do we get Courtney Upshaw? The guy is projected mid-1st round. If we trade-up, we're def gonna lose our 2nd and 3rd plus possibly next years 2nd/3rd. If Collin's can't come back, we're gonna need a quality Safety, and I believe Collin's is that type of safety you just don't replace!
The only way I can see us getting Upshaw is if either Collins comes back (big if -- he may never be the same) or Woodson moves to Safety (Davon House would be expected to have a coming out party). Our Safety depth is, to me, a big factor in whether or not TT trades up.

You work hard putting the sell of James Jones to these teams who have HORRIBLE wide receivers, and whom Jones wouyld be an immediate starter on:
Jacksonville
St Louis (Brandon Lloyd is walking away as FA)
Cleveland
You get a 3rd or 4th round pick for Jones.
Then we keep Donald Driver, again, as the heart and veteran of this team.
And we keep Tori Gurley, who is the future.
We'd have:
Jennings
Jordy
Cobb
Driver
Gurley

Why would anybody want to trade for Finley? He hasn't proven anything. Why would a team trade a high draft pick for him?
R U Serious? Finley is a matchup nightmare and he most definately does have a market. He has had drops but he also has tremendous talent and many teams are looking for a talent upgrade at tight end.

That's still 5 great WRs and we draft another one to groom, and we sign an UFA to groom.
With the extra pick, we take another swing at an OLB or DE or S who might become helpful.

A JJ Watt would have been pretty damn good.
You mean players like Palmer or Kolb?He has a market as a free agent. Once again, what would a team give up for Finely? Packers won't get a 1st or 2nd rounder. A 3rd rounder is even going to be a stretch. The guy has been a disappointment... Teams don't give up high draft picks for disappointments.
