Packers GM Ted Thompson was vilified two years ago for not paying huge bucks to retain Rivera, but he turned into a major mistake by the Cowboys.
Well, this so much for TT 'wanting to run Brett out of town'. Maybe this was actually foresight? I mean, we hear a lot of complaining about 3 rookies on the oline last year, even though we still managed to go 8-8, but what if we had to start another one next year? Say Tausch and Cliffy are both banged up for a couple games, and who do we have there now? Well, there's a good liklihood it'd be 3 rookies next year, rather than last.
This leads me into a thought I've wanted to bounce around the board for a while. What would you boys say to packaging Clifton with the 16th pick to move up and snag Adrian Peterson. The o-line would be
LT - College
LG - Spitz
C - Wells
RG - Moll
RT - Tausch
I am not endorsing this either way, but it is just something that has been on my mind since I saw Clifton wearing ice bags on his knees last preseason.
I think that would be OKAY, however , radio show out of Denver is confirming that the Pack and S.D are in talks to swap picks and Turner comes here..
This is the post I came across....
Jim Armstrong who is a sports writer for the Denver Post and talk show host for "950 The Fan" here in Denver, is originally from Wisconsin with alot of ties back there just reported "his sources" are telling him that a trade is in the works with the Chargers.
Basically that deal he is reporting is that the you guys get Turner and the 30th and the Chargers get your 16th.
