I'm assuming Nijman goes back to the PS.

Would be a windfall day on the roster for Nijman... raise from $8k/week to almost $31k/week for the next 3 weeks. Doubt he'll be super bummed about getting sent back down.

 

[Poppa San]

You realize he was released from a team that is starting Marshall Newhouse?

 

[Favre>Rodgers259]

Newhouse is also playing for the best HC/GM of all time. I'm just going to assume he knows what he's doing.

Paul Brown returned from the dead?

2 things would have to happen. He has to clear waivers and he doesn't agree to sign with another team to be on their PS.

Whatever you say Boomer.

 

[OldSchool101]

Anytime we invest in getting better at OL on any level it’s a good thing.

Vikings waived Josh Doctson. While not a blazer he's a large target at 6'4. Whatever happened to Ryan Grant? If Grant can't see the field I'd kick the tires on Doctson. At the very least pick his brain for the Vikings game.

The Packers don't need Doctson to prepare for the Vikings game. I don't consider him to be an upgrade over Grant who has been inactive for every single game since being signed.

I know most likely he'll probably be a HC again real soon. But I'd love if Rob Rivera was even just a position coach here. I'm pretty sure Pettine won't get fired but if there was a guy who I felt was definitely an upgrade at DC it would be Rivera.

Think you meant Ron, but yeah, there will definitely be some interest in him this off season.

It will be interesting to see if the Packers retain Pettine, I think that they do. However, if they don't, Rivera would be high on the list of options to pursue at DC.

As I mentioned in another thread I fully expect Rivera to be solely interested in another head coaching job though.

Oh I agree, and it'll probably be the Cowboys....

With Gettleman being the Giants general manager I expect him to be offered the job in New York.

It’ll be interesting to see what the Cowboys do going forward. I see Rivera or McCarthy butting heads with Jerry. But on the other hand, Jerry pockets are deep and enough $$$ makes instruction a whole lot more palatable.

I wouldn't want to be the next coach in Dallas. As long as Jerry is around, that organization isn't going anywhere. They remind me of the Cleveland Browns, a lot of talent on the roster, but can't figure out how to consistently win. I expect Freddie Kitchens to be gone at the end of the year. His "joke" of wearing the "Pittsburgh started it" T-shirt will give Dorsey the ammo to say "Freddie just isn't the professional coach that we want in Cleveland".

I honestly think that will be a more desirable job than the Cowboys if Shurmur gets fired. I feel like that team is going to make a big jump in 2020. Mix of young talent and draft picks.

I would think so, but then Dorsey has kind of shown he doesn't give a **** about the character of the people around the team. So I wonder.

Agreed... very glad he moved on.

Here's a minor factoid. James Looney (practice squad) is converting to TE.

Demovsky flagged this development:

https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/_/name/gb/green-bay-packers

He's even listed now as a TE on the packers.com roster:

https://www.packers.com/team/players-roster/

Somewhere along the line his number changed from 99 ro 49.

That is ONE big TE, He must have slimmed down or is going to be used mainly as a blocking TE? Listed as 6'3" #287

He did run a 4.89 40 at the combine, so not bad for a man of his size. For comparison, Sternberger ran a 4.75

He must be a hell of an athlete for them to contemplate that switch.
