Feb 12, 2016 at 1:48 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Rawls was a great UDFA pickup by Seattle. As long as he holds up, he should be just what they needed.
Feb 12, 2016 at 2:47 PM - Green and Gold: After Guion signing Raji is probably not sticking around.
Feb 12, 2016 at 2:48 PM - Green and Gold: He could be back cheap again.
Feb 12, 2016 at 6:10 PM - Vltrophy: Raji is looking for at least a 3-4 year contract. He's had 2 one yr contracts. Not likely a Packer next yr
Feb 12, 2016 at 6:18 PM - Vltrophy: Interesting where Forte will land
Feb 12, 2016 at 6:20 PM - Vltrophy: No Forte no Megatron no Suh again not bad.

Feb 12, 2016 9:33 PM - jrock645: Not sure how I feel about the Guion signing. I don't hate him but I'm not sold on him. He's decent but not critical.
Feb 13, 2016 8:38 AM - SeahawkFan80: If Guion is consistent with minor leadership qualities, it is a trade off worth it. Consistency on the line is great. Knowing that he knows your system is not a bad thing too.
Feb 13, 2016 9:33 AM - sdh09e44: Guion can play in the middle or the end which is why he was kept. Hes depth at all three spots on the line.
Feb 13, 2016 11:10 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Agreed sdh....depth and age.
Feb 13, 2016 2:08 PM - Green and Gold: We are not that solid at running back, Forte would be a great addition and fills a critical pass catcher role that we just don't have right now.
Feb 13, 2016 2:11 PM - Vltrophy: Signing Forte could also light a fire under Lacy's ***. Compitition makes everyone better
Feb 13, 2016 2:13 PM - Vltrophy: 2 yr $4M $2.75 guaranteed w/option to pick up 2nd yr
Feb 13, 2016 2:23 PM - Green and Gold: I have a feeling someone will overpay for him.
Feb 13, 2016 3:52 PM - Jz3: Guion overpaid like TT always does for his own players.
Feb 13, 2016 3:53 PM - Jz3: Wish we would just cut Lacy and bring in a speed Rb that can catch the ball
Feb 13, 2016 5:56 PM - adambr2: 2 yr/$4M for Forte? I wish. He won't make elite RB money anymore, but he'll do better than 2M a season.
Feb 13, 2016 8:00 PM - Carl: Cut Lacy after one bad year is a terrible idea.

 

[TaigaChat]

Feb 13, 2016 at 8:06 PM - azrsx05: Yeah. We have worse problems than Lacy.
Feb 13, 2016 at 8:10 PM - ivo610: Franke Gore was 32 and got 3 years 12 mil. Stop expecting bargin basement deals from players, be realistic
Feb 13, 2016 at 9:10 PM - 7thFloorRA: I would give forte 2 yrs 8 mil and not even think twice about it. He was really good last year despite an injury and having to give up plenty of carries to the rookie.
Feb 13, 2016 at 9:17 PM - King of Jeans: why do we always talk about big name free agents when we all already know they aren't going to green bay?
Feb 13, 2016 at 9:24 PM - Shawnsta3: Well they do, but the crazy expectations usually aren't there. Woodson & Peppers were both mostly overlooked but we're both HOF talents.
Feb 13, 2016 at 9:24 PM - 7thFloorRA: it passes the time until the draft
Feb 13, 2016 at 9:24 PM - Shawnsta3: *were
Feb 13, 2016 at 9:27 PM - 7thFloorRA: I think Forte fits into that woodson/peppers category.
Feb 13, 2016 at 9:28 PM - 7thFloorRA: not HOF but a guy another team was done with and will come cheaper due to age but seems to be in good shape with a great risk to reward ratio
Feb 13, 2016 at 9:30 PM - Shawnsta3: I could see him being a Pickett like pickup. All depends on what he gets offered.
Feb 13, 2016 at 9:31 PM - 7thFloorRA: he is extremely versatile. he lines up at wr occasionally and will actually run real routes. MM could do alot with him.
Feb 13, 2016 at 11:25 PM - ExpatPacker: I would be very surprised to see Forte signing less than a 3-year deal with a team, as this will probably be his last (good) contract. I would also be very surprised if Forte even looked at an offer that was less than 5 mill per year. I think Forte on the Packers would be great. Packers do have a good number of FAs coming up at the end of next season though.
Feb 13, 2016 at 11:38 PM - ExpatPacker: I remember pretty much running over the Packers last season, so he's still got it in that department IMO. Plus, Forte as a receiver coming out of the backfield would be like the TE the Packers didn't have last season. He'd do a helluva lot more than push Lacy, he would get a lot of playing time!
Feb 14, 2016 at 4:29 AM - adambr2: I saw on Rotoworld a source saying Forte will be lucky to get 4M a season. Take it for what it's worth, but Forte has also said he understands he won't be getting as big of a contract this time. I think he'll wind up around that 4M a year on a 2-3 year deal. 30 year + RBs almost never have a great market
Feb 14, 2016 at 8:11 AM - Green and Gold: Maybe Peppers is hitting him up right now?
Feb 14, 2016 at 8:11 AM - Green and Gold: Forte loves the Bears and their fans. If he came to Green Bay it would be to win.
Feb 14, 2016 at 8:47 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I like this article on Forte. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2616202-how-much-does-matt-forte-have-left-to-offer-a-new-team
Feb 14, 2016 at 12:09 PM - Raptorman: Where ever Forte goes, I hope they play the Bears and he puts up 200+ all purpose yards on them.
Feb 14, 2016 at 1:03 PM - Pokerbrat2000:
Feb 14, 2016 at 1:42 PM - 7thFloorRA: well at least the new bears regime has a shred of class and just let him go and didn't insult him like they did urlacher

 

[TaigaChat]

Feb 14, 2016 9:07 PM - Green and Gold: If Forte really wanted a ring though, not sure why he wouldn't look towards. Carolina, Denver, Seattle and New England as well.
Feb 14, 2016 9:54 PM - 7thFloorRA: The pack is lumped right in with that group as far as favorites for next year. This is a good it and he knows 6 of his opponents very well.
Feb 14, 2016 10:07 PM - jrock645: Anyone read King's Peyton Manning article? I'd lost respect for that entire family years ago, but this makes me sick.
Feb 15, 2016 3:03 AM - longtimefan: Link?
Feb 15, 2016 6:13 AM - Pokerbrat2000: think this might be one jrock is referring to? http://www.sportingnews.com/nfl-new...tion-tennessee-broncos-colts-jamie-naughright
Feb 15, 2016 6:14 AM - Pokerbrat2000: or this one: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/nat...eaky-clean-image-built-lies-article-1.2530395
Feb 15, 2016 6:19 AM - Pokerbrat2000: With all the negative media attention, a Super Bowl win, his age, his bank roll, his health....is there even a question of Manning retiring?
Feb 15, 2016 7:20 AM - jrock645: After his budweiser comment after the superbowl, that pretty well sealed his decision
Feb 15, 2016 7:20 AM - jrock645: Itwas kind of an F you you cant punish me anyway because im retiring
Feb 15, 2016 7:33 AM - Pokerbrat2000: If he retires, the only punishment from the Sport will come from Canton, OH and unless he "goes Pete Rose" on us, he will be first ballot.
Feb 15, 2016 7:39 AM - 7thFloorRA: At least this will keep people from heaping praise on ol goober like they have been all his career.
Feb 15, 2016 7:40 AM - 7thFloorRA: The only manning I like is Eli. I think Archie and Peyton are 2 good ol boy dbags. I bet archie was behind eli getting traded....not eli.
Feb 15, 2016 7:52 AM - jrock645: Yeah i could see that. It was peyton and eli on tv with him
Feb 15, 2016 7:57 AM - easyk83: I honestly never liked PMan, always thought he was a whiney ***** and that his aww shucks act was BS
Feb 15, 2016 9:26 AM - jrock645: i always felt the same. there was always something I couldn't put my finger on that I didn't like. People always thought I was crazy
Feb 15, 2016 9:26 AM - Shawnsta3: The alleged report happened in college when he attempted to moon a fellow teammate. Of course he made a mistake but this isn't even Jameis Winston bad..am I missing something?
Feb 15, 2016 9:27 AM - jrock645: posted the article in the off topic section of a non football board and some guy responded that King just has an agenda against manning. LOL what? so I said prove it and he can't
Feb 15, 2016 9:28 AM - jrock645: It's a lot more than an alleged report. Read the article. Also, the entire notion that he was just mooning a teammate has been completely proven false. That simply didn't happen. He put his ******** on a trainer's face deliberately. Then set out to destroy her.
Feb 15, 2016 9:35 AM - 7thFloorRA: I always thought the story was that he mooned the band. I remember that when it happened. The smear campaign by the manning clan is pretty disgusting. archie can f off.
Feb 15, 2016 10:36 AM - easyk83: it wasn't actually **** or even ****** assault, ****** battery maybe. The woman was checking out his ankle I believe when he placed his balls on her head... and Im sure that he was just being polite
Feb 15, 2016 10:37 AM - easyk83: Anywhoo I don't think he's a ***** because of that allegation, which btw his side of the story was uncorroborated and no one backed him up on mooning.
Feb 15, 2016 10:37 AM - easyk83: Peyton Manning is an entitled ***** because he always has been... and he sucked in both Super Bowls.
Feb 15, 2016 11:08 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Bill Cosby is a big Peyton Manning fan I hear!
Feb 15, 2016 12:45 PM - Sunshine885500: I guess the Manning thing was just trying to goof off. It should be made as Public as Najeh Davenport who was nicknamed "The midnight pooper" for taking that dump in that girls laundry basket while at Miami. Just boys being boys LOL
Feb 15, 2016 1:23 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Not really Sunshine.....if any of the details are true, IF being the key word. "Boys being boys" shouldn't allow any male to behave in ways which are unacceptable. Kind of like the old adage "Oh he's just a hot headed player blowing off some steam"
Feb 15, 2016 1:26 PM - longtimefan: Hope sunshine was being sarcastic
Feb 15, 2016 1:28 PM - Pokerbrat2000: not so sure he was
Feb 15, 2016 1:32 PM - longtimefan: Gives new meaning to Mannings old commercial... Cut that meat chant
Feb 15, 2016 1:33 PM - NelsonsLongCatch: Serious Question: Anybody have any idea why this took 20 years to come to light?
Feb 15, 2016 1:47 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Watch the documentary "The Hunting Ground" it explains a lot about cases like Mannings
Feb 15, 2016 1:50 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Jameis Winston and things he did (or didn't do) in college, will probably be talked about and brought up while he is a famous athlete.
Feb 15, 2016 1:56 PM - 7thFloorRA: I don't think Winston is pretending to be anything but a piece of trash athlete. I really don't think he cares and FSU covered his crap up.
Feb 15, 2016 1:57 PM - 7thFloorRA: What makes Peyton a scumbag is that he hid behind this golden boy image and behind the scenes he was just a good ol boy goober with archie orchestrating this charade.
Feb 15, 2016 1:59 PM - Pokerbrat2000: agreed 7th in regards to Winston. Starting to think the same with the Manning family.
Feb 15, 2016 2:10 PM - PackerfaninCarolina: I kinda think the media dug this up to slow down the newton story

 

[TaigaChat]

Feb 15, 2016 at 2:33 PM - jrock645: No, it's coming up because UT is dealing with litigation due to total IX violations and the Manning incident is being referenced, thus the media attention.
Feb 15, 2016 at 5:07 PM - longtimefan: cam---son this year--dauther this year and possibly another kid this year...all different women and one is his wife?? and MVP? he has had a great year!!!
Feb 15, 2016 at 5:24 PM - 7thFloorRA: Cam appleseed is just spreading out his contract.
Feb 15, 2016 at 5:28 PM - 7thFloorRA: he isnt married....just has a long time GF like lebron did
Feb 15, 2016 at 7:57 PM - longtimefan: no.. Rumor is he has secret wife and she had daughter...
Feb 15, 2016 at 7:58 PM - longtimefan: Fiance... Wife and a g/f.....he got all pregnant

 

[TaigaChat]

Feb 15, 2016 at 8:42 PM - easyk83: At the same time, and then he dabbed
Feb 16, 2016 at 10:22 AM - Green and Gold: Keep Tretter because he can play any position in a pinch, but always imagined re-signing him as a guard.
Feb 16, 2016 at 11:24 AM - easyk83: Tretter would need to put on some muscle to become a guard
Feb 16, 2016 at 11:49 AM - Vltrophy: Packers v Colts in HOF game
Feb 16, 2016 at 11:56 AM - adambr2: So I would think there will not be a Packer family night this season?
Feb 16, 2016 at 1:19 PM - The program 61: everyone saw that HOF game coming sigh knock on wood no injuries
Feb 16, 2016 at 1:20 PM - The program 61: why cant there just be 4 games still with the HOF
Feb 16, 2016 at 5:41 PM - PackerFanLV: just stopping in to say hi to everyone. Hello!!!
Feb 16, 2016 at 5:50 PM - Sunshine885500: Brady isn't a Saint either. He had 2 women pregnant at the same time and left his current girlfriend who was pregnant to go with the super model who was pregnant. i wonder why no mentions him as man of the year?

 

[TaigaChat]

Feb 16, 2016 8:14 PM - easyk83: Brady's a ******
Feb 16, 2016 8:14 PM - easyk83: but Manning is an ******
Feb 16, 2016 9:04 PM - Green and Gold: HOF Game? HUNDLEY TIME
Feb 16, 2016 10:06 PM - longtimefan: Iirc his gf and he broke up thrn she found out she was pregnant... But it was all over the media they broke up.... If true cam is doing this on the sly..and three women pregnant in a year.. Big difference
Feb 17, 2016 5:26 AM - sdh09e44: To a few posts up. 7thfloor
Feb 17, 2016 5:27 AM - sdh09e44: What exactly did FSU cover up with Winston?
Feb 17, 2016 6:20 AM - easyk83: ^****** assault allegations, they also botched the investigation and mishandled evidence
Feb 17, 2016 6:39 AM - Pokerbrat2000: https://sports.vice.com/en_us/artic...***-lawsuit-has-some-damaging-new-information
Feb 17, 2016 6:39 AM - Pokerbrat2000: A lot of articles and info on Winston. That one sums it up pretty well
Feb 17, 2016 8:46 AM - Pokerbrat2000: LOL on this.....somebody trying to tell us something about Manning? http://www.sbnation.com/2016/2/8/10937704/peyton-manning-super-bowl-championship-hat-conspiracy
Feb 17, 2016 12:09 PM - sdh09e44: Yea I know. But what exactly did they "cover up"
Feb 17, 2016 12:10 PM - sdh09e44: There wasn't a shread of evidence that even remotely indicated that a ****** assault went down.
Feb 17, 2016 12:12 PM - sdh09e44: The girl got a **** kit done the night of that came up negative. It even exposed her lie which was that she was drugged because that didn't show up in a tox report. Also exposed her other lie which was that she got hit in the head while leaving the bar lol. There was no evidence of that
Feb 17, 2016 12:18 PM - sdh09e44: Also a bunch of witness reports, even from friends of hers, that backed the story of her clearly knowing who he was and willingly leaving with him in a cab. It was even reported that at one point she grabbed his phone and put her number in it..
Feb 17, 2016 12:30 PM - Pokerbrat2000: All of the above depends on who's accounting of the details you believe. Winston's roommate stated one thing (agreeing with ****) and then later recanted his story, changed his Facebook comment and erased the video. The investigation into all of it was not only delayed, full of mistakes and done in what an average person sees as a cover up.
Feb 17, 2016 12:42 PM - sdh09e44: Well when in allegedly happened in December 2012, the ball was in the accusers court on whether to press charges and take it all the way. Winston wasn't even on the football team yet. Why did nothing come of this when jameis was still a nobody?
Feb 17, 2016 12:44 PM - sdh09e44: and who on the team admitted that he ***** her? where did that come from? what ive seen is Chris Casher swung open the door to jameis' room, saw her on her knees doing you know what, and he reportedly asked to join in.....
Feb 17, 2016 12:48 PM - sdh09e44: which is where my theory comes up. I believe after Casher did all that, the girl felt exposed and was humiliated by the whole thing, She felt uncomfortable continuing anything. Then Jameis probably heavily encourages her to continue which lead to them reportedly going into the bathroom and having sex. Then Jameis probably gives her the boot and was being an ****** after they just had sex.
Feb 17, 2016 12:51 PM - sdh09e44: Maybe even tells the girl this was a one time thing and that he had a girlfriend, which he did and still does. And being that the girl was a #cleatchaser ( group of girls at fsu who actually call themselves cleatchasers) she was probably crushed that jameis just ****** around with her.
Feb 17, 2016 12:53 PM - sdh09e44: I truly believe Jameis was a piece of **** to this girl. Treated her like dog S H I T. but so many things lead to an average person to believe that the worse case scenario was just very unlikely.
Feb 17, 2016 3:00 PM - PackerfaninCarolina: So I wonder how bad the bears are going to be if they lose both Forte and Jeffry
Feb 17, 2016 3:33 PM - Vltrophy: Packers hire 3 new coaches & promote 2. TE coach from the Browns & a quality control coach from the 49ers. Don't recall the 3rd
Feb 17, 2016 3:35 PM - Vltrophy: Sirmans. He was the RB coach for the Rams
Feb 17, 2016 3:36 PM - Vltrophy: No way Bears let Jeffery go
Feb 17, 2016 3:48 PM - NelsonsLongCatch: Worst case scenario for Bears is they franchise tag Jeffrey. Chicago radio has been reporting forever that Jeffrey stays a Bear
Feb 17, 2016 5:19 PM - 7thFloorRA: He is wise to stay put. He works perfectly in their sloppy offense where Jay tosses up crap in the general area of a WR and he has to make a play on it. If you put him on a team that is based on crisp route running and timing he would struggle
Feb 17, 2016 6:12 PM - Vltrophy: Lions cut Joique Bell
Feb 17, 2016 6:15 PM - Vltrophy: Rasheen Mathis CB to retire from Lions
Feb 17, 2016 6:59 PM - Green and Gold: Pack playing the Broncos, Panthers, Cardinals, Raiders, 49ers on the road last season to playing the Redskins, Falcons, Eagles, Jags, and Titans next season.
Feb 17, 2016 7:00 PM - Green and Gold: Looking forward to the Jags game.
Feb 17, 2016 7:28 PM - 7thFloorRA: Nice. That west coast travel sucks

Feb 17, 2016 at 11:19 PM - Shawnsta3: Last years schedule was brutal
Feb 18, 2016 at 4:34 AM - sdh09e44: It may be the potentially easiest road schedule to ever exist lol
Feb 18, 2016 at 4:36 AM - sdh09e44: I'm hoping the Titan or jaguar game is week 15 or 16 when most likely their season will be down the drain. Titans more likely
Feb 18, 2016 at 5:46 AM - Pokerbrat2000: If you go by 2015 win % of your opponents, the Packers have the easiest schedule in the NFL for 2016. But then again who says teams like the Falcons, Eagles, Redskins, etc. are going to be bad in 2016?
Feb 18, 2016 at 7:03 AM - Green and Gold: Don't put too much stock into the strenght of schedule for next year when last years season just ended.
Feb 18, 2016 at 7:04 AM - Green and Gold: Cowboys and Colts are going to be way better than they were in 2015.
Feb 18, 2016 at 7:10 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Agreed G&G...
Feb 18, 2016 at 8:14 AM - The program 61: we had the hardest schedule or close to last year for Strength of s chedule.
Feb 18, 2016 at 8:14 AM - The program 61: and panthers had a pretty easy one too this year and we all know what happened lol
Feb 18, 2016 at 8:30 AM - SeahawkFan80: Wait whut?? According to the Romulans and Klingons, Panthers schedule was the most harsh. LOL
Feb 18, 2016 at 8:36 AM - The program 61: jared allen retires sad day

Feb 18, 2016 at 1:39 PM - Poppa San: PB2k, the jared Allen link keeps taking me to a Jerod Mayo news clip. Don't give a rat's tushie about him.

Feb 18, 2016 at 8:25 PM - Green and Gold: RB is a position the Packers should get younger at through the draft.
Feb 18, 2016 at 8:25 PM - Green and Gold: Also, It'll hopefully be an improvement to have separate WR and QB coaches.
Feb 18, 2016 at 8:35 PM - 7thFloorRA: That was insanely stupid for MM to lump those 2 jobs together. Its not like there is a coaching salary cap. You could hire 20 more coaches if you wanted to. To double up like that is just ridiculous.
Feb 18, 2016 at 8:40 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Poppa....its directly below the Mayo clip
Feb 18, 2016 at 8:41 PM - Pokerbrat2000: agreed G &G and 7th.....been saying that all year when the WR's ALL seemed to be having issues....coach or players?
Feb 18, 2016 at 10:25 PM - Green and Gold: Love the hire of Sirmans from St Louis.
Feb 18, 2016 at 10:26 PM - Green and Gold: GB's WR's were hit hard by injuries, but an exclusive coach couldn't have hurt their performance.
Feb 18, 2016 at 10:27 PM - Green and Gold: Cobb and Nelson lobbied for the coach they promoted.
Feb 19, 2016 at 4:13 AM - desertdog55: Running back, while still an important position, is not like it was years ago. Look at the dominant teams in the NFL. You don't have to have a stud running back to be successful. If you have a good O line, you can plug any decent player as RB. The biggest plus a RB should have nowadays IMO is the ability to catch the ball...pretty much an extra TE.
Feb 19, 2016 at 7:39 AM - Pokerbrat2000: While the importance of the RB position may take a back seat to the importance of the passing game, the key to your statement is "plug any decent player as RB". Is Lacy decent? Some might say he is. But would the Packer offense be better with Adrian Peterson or Lacy? Maybe the value of drafting a RB high has decreased, due to the history of doing so, but a stud RB can make an offense as well.
Feb 19, 2016 at 9:49 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Gregg Jennings admits he was bitter and changes his stance on Favre VS. Rodgers. Interesting interview. About the 5:25 mark he gets to that point.

Feb 19, 2016 at 1:53 PM - Pokerbrat2000: But can he play ILB in a 3-4? Reading up on him.
Feb 19, 2016 at 1:57 PM - Vrill: Los Angeles Rams release DE Chris Long, LB James Laurinaitis & TE Jared Cook.
Feb 19, 2016 at 1:58 PM - Vrill: Cook would be worth a look, most def.
Feb 19, 2016 at 2:37 PM - Green and Gold: Pennel had PEDs, or recreational drugs?

Feb 19, 2016 at 6:01 PM - The program 61: now we all know pats cheat lol and so every pats fan defense is heres the list of of cheating flaws for whole nfl. Most of them are PEDs you cant account that for cheating PEDs dont factor that much in winning football games. lol
Feb 19, 2016 at 6:18 PM - The program 61: like dont hold the team accountable
Feb 19, 2016 at 7:17 PM - The program 61: does the rookie salary cap go up when the nfl salary cap does

 

[TaigaChat]

Feb 19, 2016 8:23 PM - Raptorman: Rookie cap is a percentage of the salary cap. So cap goes up, so does the rookie cap.
Feb 19, 2016 8:46 PM - The program 61: ty kind sir
Feb 20, 2016 6:44 AM - longtimefan: Greg Jennings can never be trusted on his word.....
Feb 20, 2016 7:43 AM - Green and Gold: TT did give up two 2nd and 3rd round picks to trade up for the Claymaker. Would he for Ragland?
Feb 20, 2016 7:58 AM - 7thFloorRA: I doubt it but at some point he is going to have more picks than job openings. 7 picks and 2 comps means 9 picks. There aren't 9 roster spots open.
Feb 20, 2016 8:01 AM - 7thFloorRA: I doubt he does anything in the first round but I could see some of those mid round picks packaged to get a higher day 2 pick
Feb 20, 2016 9:34 AM - JK64: I was hoping for Pennel to take the next step, he had some good games last year, and now this idiotic substance abuse suspension. This wasn't his first incident. He was already in the program and still he couldn't control himself, even though he knew he would be tested. Now, he screws us/The Packers by not being out on the field for 1/4 of the season and he screws himself.
Feb 20, 2016 10:44 AM - PackerFanLV: rams released James Laurinaitis ILB omg if we can pick him up that would be big
Feb 20, 2016 11:25 AM - Green and Gold: Decent inside linebacker that won't cost us any comp picks because he was cut.
Feb 20, 2016 11:57 AM - 7thFloorRA: Very cool to see Ty Montgomery hanging around town this off season (probably to work on his ankle/leg)
Feb 20, 2016 11:58 AM - 7thFloorRA: last week he was out fish spearing and this week he is watching some high school wrestling in town. Pretty cool.
Feb 20, 2016 12:25 PM - adambr2: Laurinitus was PFFs 94th ranked ILB out of 95 ILBs last season. I can't imagine him being any upgrade.
Feb 20, 2016 1:19 PM - Jz3: Sat next to Bakhtiari at lunch today. Was with his agent talking about a contract extension.
Feb 20, 2016 1:20 PM - Jz3: I use to work for the packers and it for sure was a contract they were going through together with his agent.
Feb 20, 2016 1:21 PM - Jz3: so expect Bakhtiari to be locked up soon.
Feb 20, 2016 2:00 PM - 7thFloorRA: what kind of money we talkin?
Feb 20, 2016 2:49 PM - Vltrophy: Vikings soon to be residence has a leaky roof.

Feb 20, 2016 8:12 PM - TeamTundra: Bears are expected to cut TE Martelius Bennett per NFL Network.
Feb 21, 2016 5:21 AM - longtimefan: That guy I would love to have
Feb 21, 2016 5:45 AM - 7thFloorRA: He is kind of a locker room loose cannon but then again the bears had an awful locker room under trestman that allowed that.
Feb 21, 2016 5:50 AM - 7thFloorRA: I question how good of a route runner Bennett is. The bears let him, marshall and jeffrey all run mush routes where they just find a soft spot and stand there and out-physical the D.
Feb 21, 2016 5:51 AM - 7thFloorRA: i don't think they like that style of play here but who knows....maybe he was just doing what they wanted and he can run better routes.
Feb 21, 2016 12:58 PM - Vltrophy: I'd rather sign Forte & draft Henry TE from Arkansas
Feb 21, 2016 3:27 PM - Vltrophy: Kramer sold his SB I ring for $125k sold some other items. Said he's not selling his SB II ring as it means too much to him. Said he's selling things he doesn't need to start a college fund for his 5 grandchildren
Feb 21, 2016 3:35 PM - Vltrophy: Kramers SB I game worn jersey sold for more than $45K
Feb 21, 2016 4:16 PM - The program 61: Kinda sad he selling them but if they dont mean anything to him anymore and the person who buys them does guess thats ok
Feb 21, 2016 5:52 PM - adambr2: Yeah I can understand it. Kramer's kids and grandkids probably worry about money same as the rest of us. Gotta figure those guys weren't getting rich off the game back then. Putting his family first fine by me.

 

[TaigaChat]

Feb 22, 2016 at 9:19 PM - Green and Gold: Packers TE desperately needs an upgrade, but the position itself isn't important enough to be the #1 need.
Feb 22, 2016 at 9:21 PM - Green and Gold: Pack need a good coverage LB over receiving TE.
Feb 22, 2016 at 9:21 PM - Green and Gold: RR is a decent red zone target but other than that?
Feb 22, 2016 at 9:23 PM - Green and Gold: TT is most likely not going to make a splash in FA and sign a TE.
Feb 23, 2016 at 5:53 AM - Eli Haugen: I think FA is a good place to find a TE. Quarless injury to the knee may be a factor long term. So if he does go, we need a plug in veteran. Another mid round rookie like Finley (3rd) and RR(4th round) would be a good addition as well. 3 good TEs preferably.
Feb 23, 2016 at 8:56 AM - Poppa San: Eli - RR was a third round pick -- 98th overall pick in 2014
Feb 23, 2016 at 9:15 AM - azrsx05: So my direct tv contract is up in April. I'm thinking about cancelling, then calling pack and installing under my wife's name so we get NFL ticket for free and cheaper monthly. Anyone done this?
Feb 23, 2016 at 9:31 AM - adambr2: You don't need to do that. Just call when your contract is up and tell them you're done. They'll get you over to a retention specialist who is trained to try to get you to stay. Tell them point blank you want NFL Sunday Ticket Max for free or you're going to Dish or Cable.
Feb 23, 2016 at 9:34 AM - adambr2: They may not offer it right away, they'll probably go back and forth with you, and give you a few offers, maybe 50% off, but keep pushing. You're not under contract and can walk away free and clear, so you have all the leverage. Been there done that with Direct.
Feb 23, 2016 at 11:28 AM - Vltrophy: Just checked out bleacher report & they said Jared Cook would make a good fit for the Packers
Feb 23, 2016 at 11:40 AM - Vrill: If Cook can curb his reported attitude, I'd be all for it. Same with Martellus Bennett.
Feb 23, 2016 at 12:21 PM - The program 61: i wonder how the guys are healing like is sitton getting surgery
Feb 23, 2016 at 12:45 PM - Un4GivN: I'm not a Cook fan, I know he was buried in some bad QB play... But look at Jordan Reed or even Delanie Walker. If you are really good you will still consistently produce
Feb 23, 2016 at 4:03 PM - Green and Gold: TT has a knack for taking the best available player, regardless of what we need.
Feb 23, 2016 at 4:04 PM - Eli Haugen: Pappa san, yea and finley was a 4th i think.
Feb 23, 2016 at 7:40 PM - 7thFloorRA: The times he has drafted a guy for what looks to be need I think they have worked out. Raji, Clay, Bulaga, Hawk, Randall, HaHa....those guys have all been solid starters. The guys he has taken strictly on what looks to be BPA have kinda sucked. Perry, Datone, sherrod, Harrell. Jordy and Rodgers were both kind of surprises and phenomenal.
Feb 23, 2016 at 7:40 PM - 7thFloorRA: I guess the moral of that story is that he shouldn't draft BPA lineman on O or D unless they are no brainer top 10 picks like Raji and Bulaga.

 

[TaigaChat]

Feb 23, 2016 8:12 PM - adambr2: Perry was definitely a need pick. Maybe he was BPA on our board too, but everyone and their mother expected us to pick an OLB that year. I would also classify Bulaga as a BPA pick. Randall possibly too, although he certainly was a need pick as well.
Feb 24, 2016 7:36 AM - Vrill: Perry is actually beginning to grow on me. I hope we keep him.
Feb 24, 2016 9:23 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Andre Johnson may be done....http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000637933/article/andre-johnson-done-in-indy-retirement-next
Feb 24, 2016 9:30 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Derrick Henry weighed in at 247 lbs at combine....wonder if he and Eddie have been eating together?
Feb 24, 2016 11:03 AM - Pokerbrat2000: LOL...more potential grief for the Patriots in the off season? http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/02/23/gronks-booze-cruise-becomes-issue-in-romo-lawsuit/
Feb 24, 2016 12:30 PM - Vrill: Derrick Henry has weighed that much all year long Poker...............
Feb 24, 2016 12:37 PM - gatorpack: azrsx05 just call a month or two before the season and say you want to cancel. When they ask why say you cant afford it and they will offer discounts. I get 40 to 50 off every year when I do this, I tell them the only reason I have DTV is for sunday ticket and they give it to me free.
Feb 24, 2016 12:40 PM - gatorpack: you might have to do a 1yr contract, but last year they didnt make me.
Feb 24, 2016 12:44 PM - azrsx05: Thanks all. I'll try doing this
Feb 24, 2016 12:49 PM - Pokerbrat2000: that works for Sirius radio as well....just saying.
Feb 24, 2016 12:53 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I thought Henry was always in the mid 230's Vrill, but you may be right.
Feb 24, 2016 3:01 PM - Mondio: the booze cruise isn't named because they want to get them in trouble, they're just using it as an example as to why their even should have been allowed to happen

Feb 24, 2016 8:37 PM - Eli Haugen: when perry was in, we were better. he is a beast.
Feb 25, 2016 6:49 AM - The program 61: beast might be an overstatement
Feb 25, 2016 6:50 AM - Pokerbrat2000: JJ Watt is a beast....Perry....hmmmm
Feb 25, 2016 6:57 AM - Eli Haugen: a young beast..... lol. Go back and look. We came out DOMINANT on defense. Dline healthy. and LBs were cleaning up. Perry gets hurt, and Dline quits getting push. BLAM out def is stagnant. He comes back end of year, and we start looking good again... I think he is that destructive. He breaks the protection.
Feb 25, 2016 6:58 AM - Eli Haugen: sign him. and sign Raji too.
Feb 25, 2016 7:26 AM - Vrill: Yes, I hope we keep Perry
Feb 25, 2016 10:08 AM - Green and Gold: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CcAyih3UEAE_oL7.jpg:large
Feb 25, 2016 10:49 AM - jrock645: I think perry developed nicely into a solid rotarional player. Hes not a star, but hes a guy you nees in the stable of a properly appointed 3-4 LB group
Feb 25, 2016 10:50 AM - jrock645: If we can keep him at a reasonable price, we should
Feb 25, 2016 11:03 AM - The program 61: i agree his contract shouldnt be the reason we cant re-sign people next year
Feb 25, 2016 11:38 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I doubt Perry will be back. He is better suited in a 4-3 defense and someone will pay him as such.
Feb 25, 2016 2:30 PM - JK64: Perry is no loss, he is always hurt.
Feb 25, 2016 3:32 PM - Packers907: So NFL.com believes that we need a ILB and OLB. How is that? We still have Mike Neal and Peppers. Do they believe Peppers isn't coming back or that we will keep him at DE?
Feb 25, 2016 3:33 PM - Packers907: Also, any word on Raji?
Feb 25, 2016 3:42 PM - adambr2: Well we don't have Neal for one thing. He's a free agent. Assuming we sign one of Neal and Perry and Peppers returns for one more season, I don't think OLB is a big need right now, but I can see it being a big need this time next year.
Feb 25, 2016 3:48 PM - Packers907: So its agreed that the first and foremost draft need is a ILB, DE or TE?
Feb 25, 2016 4:40 PM - Eli Haugen: I would say ILB, NT, TE is our biggest needs. resign raji, perry, and neal. And scratch NT and olb off that list.
Feb 25, 2016 5:18 PM - Vltrophy: I don't think Packers sign Perry or Raji
Feb 25, 2016 5:18 PM - Vltrophy: Krapperneck wants to be traded
Feb 25, 2016 5:23 PM - 7thFloorRA: Who would want kaeperdouche
Feb 25, 2016 5:28 PM - NelsonsLongCatch: He'd be interesting on the Jets
Feb 25, 2016 6:34 PM - 7thFloorRA: He is such a whiny diva though. I can't imagine he could handle the NY media. They would eat him alive.

 

[TaigaChat]

Feb 25, 2016 at 8:02 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Krapperneck wants to be traded to......The Lingerie League?
Feb 25, 2016 at 8:18 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Maybe the Eagles, Rams, Bears and 49'ers all just put their QB's names in a hat and have a random drawing?
Feb 26, 2016 at 4:37 AM - desertdog55: MM has glowing reviews of Brett Hundley, seems to be a foregone conclusion that Tolzein will be gone and Hundley will be the backup next season.
Feb 26, 2016 at 7:04 AM - Pokerbrat2000: I agree DD, no reason to keep Tolzien and 3 QB's on 53 man roster. I envision a few UDFA QB's being brought in to compete for a spot on the PS.
Feb 26, 2016 at 7:37 AM - Green and Gold: Darron Lee (ILB) his speed is exactly what our Defense has needed for quite some time.
Feb 26, 2016 at 7:42 AM - Green and Gold: TT will do his due diligence regarding Trevathan and I'm also quite sure he'll get a contract offer for more than we'd be willing to give him.
Feb 26, 2016 at 9:07 AM - Pokerbrat2000: IMO Trevathan will be over valued. He is good, but also played on the best defense in the NFL, behind a stellar D line and alongside Miller, Marshall and Ware.
Feb 26, 2016 at 10:47 AM - Green and Gold: MM lures Calvin Johnson out of retirement, Rodgers to Megatron makes cornerbacks suffer all year.
Feb 26, 2016 at 12:08 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Only if Calvin wants a ring and plays for peanuts.
Feb 26, 2016 at 1:44 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Murray on the trading block? Good luck with that! http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap30...-to-listen-to-trade-offers-for-demarco-murray
Feb 26, 2016 at 1:53 PM - Poppa San: Can Megatron block? Maybe he can be our stretch-the-field TE?
Feb 26, 2016 at 3:38 PM - Jz3: Megatron is always hurt so you would never be able to rely on him. There is a reason why he is about to retire at 30.
Feb 26, 2016 at 3:43 PM - Jz3: I expect Rodgers to pull a Megatron in a few years or a Patrick Willis. Once ROodgers realize he has played his whole career with a bone head GM and coach that struggles to build a team with him strong enough to win playoff games.
Feb 26, 2016 at 3:44 PM - Jz3: Got lucky with one super bowl when Rodgers had his coming out party when he wasn't considered a top QB.
Feb 26, 2016 at 4:29 PM - Vrill: I wouldn't say "lucky". You have to be good to win Super Bowls in the NFL.
Feb 26, 2016 at 5:24 PM - Packers907: Rodgers is a amazing QB when he has targets and blocking
Feb 26, 2016 at 5:24 PM - Packers907: Not many QBs can stretch a play like he can.

Feb 26, 2016 8:53 PM - Green and Gold: Resign Brett Favre and be the first team ever with an active HOF player.
Feb 26, 2016 10:08 PM - Packers907: lol We are about the first for everything else
Feb 26, 2016 10:08 PM - Packers907: I mean, what other team actually has a FAN Hall of Fame
Feb 27, 2016 4:12 AM - desertdog55: Yep we are "lucky".... Maybe we can ask Dan Marino, Fran Tarkenton, or some other HOF QBs how they would like to "luck out" and win one SB....
Feb 27, 2016 6:42 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Better ask Kelly, Moon, Fouts and Rivers too
Feb 27, 2016 8:03 AM - 7thFloorRA: Jaylon Smith is for sure out of the first round now.
Feb 27, 2016 8:04 AM - 7thFloorRA: interesting to see how far he falls Nerve damage as we know from sherrod is no joke. if he cold drop to day 3 I would take him and stash him on IR for a year and maybe have an absolute stud....or maybe he never plays again like he did. who knows
Feb 27, 2016 8:31 AM - Pokerbrat2000: starting to remind me a bit of Marcus Lattimore, who the 49'ers took in the 4th round and he never saw the field.
Feb 27, 2016 11:55 AM - 7thFloorRA: well he dislocated that thing and just destroyed it beyond repair I thought
Feb 27, 2016 5:41 PM - longtimefan: Seems Manning will retire

Feb 27, 2016 at 8:40 PM - pacmaniac: stephen curry makes 3 pointers like aaron rodgers completes hail maries
Feb 28, 2016 at 7:43 AM - Green and Gold: Adams was pretty good as a rookie. His numbers weren't astronomical, but he wasn't asked to do too much. Sophomore slumps are pretty common. That's why there's a name for it.
Feb 28, 2016 at 7:43 AM - Green and Gold: Not saying Adams is a lock to get better, but we can't know at this point that he won't.
Feb 28, 2016 at 11:09 AM - 7thFloorRA: He was banged up all year, out of position and the stage was too big for him. He should be excellent as the #3 wr.
Feb 28, 2016 at 11:24 AM - TeamTundra: Darron Lee ran a 4.47 at the combine.
Feb 28, 2016 at 2:33 PM - Green and Gold: Nick Vannett from OSU looks good fo GB?
Feb 28, 2016 at 2:35 PM - adambr2: A starting WR in the smallest city in professional sports was too big of a stage for Adams?
Feb 28, 2016 at 2:36 PM - adambr2: Out of position? No, I don't think so. Banged up, maybe.

 

[TaigaChat]

Feb 28, 2016 8:03 PM - Packers907: I don't see Adams getting a lot of playing time, especially with Monty back
Feb 28, 2016 8:04 PM - Packers907: I have a feeling Monty is going to do good things this year
Feb 28, 2016 8:06 PM - 7thFloorRA: He was absolutely out of position. The wr position is not just a depth chart where each guy does the same thing and they go in order of best to worst. They all have totally different roles.
Feb 28, 2016 8:08 PM - Packers907: Yea, but with his performance this past year I don't see him having much of a role this year.
Feb 28, 2016 8:29 PM - adambr2: How on earth was Adams playing out of position? He's not a slot receiver and he didn't line up at slot. I'm stunned that anyone could have watched Adams play this season and attributed his struggles whatsoever to playing out of position.
Feb 28, 2016 8:34 PM - Packers907: He couldn't get seperation and even when he did his hands weren't reliable
Feb 29, 2016 6:13 AM - Vrill: For someone as athletic as Adams is suppose to be, it sure doesn't translate to the Football field....
Feb 29, 2016 6:16 AM - Pokerbrat2000: They jury is still out for me on Adams, Abby and Janis.
Feb 29, 2016 7:36 AM - jrock645: Adams had a train wreck of a season but if he can stay healthy this year i think he'll pick up where he left off in 2014
Feb 29, 2016 7:37 AM - jrock645: I think abby has more of the it factor than janis, but hes so fragile. Total crap shoot there
Feb 29, 2016 7:48 AM - Pokerbrat2000: IMO most of the WR unit is in a state of unknowns, which has me nervous going into 2016 with the group. But I guess any FA moves, as well as the draft will let us know how management feels about the group.
Feb 29, 2016 9:00 AM - SeahawkFan80: Get another Jordy lite to spell him a few plays, and your core group will be ok.
Feb 29, 2016 9:24 AM - longtimefan: Ty Montgomery had cartilage repaired in his ankle... May be out till training cMp
Feb 29, 2016 9:29 AM - Pokerbrat2000: let the waiting and wondering about our WR's begin.......
Feb 29, 2016 11:08 AM - Green and Gold: Impressed with Darron Lee when he put up the best 40 of the linebackers.
Feb 29, 2016 11:08 AM - Green and Gold: Could be a player the Packers take a chance on
Feb 29, 2016 11:11 AM - Green and Gold: Kuhn won't be our FB forever. Hoping he comes back as some kind of assistant coach for GB.
Feb 29, 2016 11:22 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Daron Lee's combine may have moved him up far enough out of the Packers reach
Feb 29, 2016 12:32 PM - The program 61: anyone know if sitton got his toe surgery
Feb 29, 2016 12:33 PM - 7thFloorRA: I thought he said last year he was never going to get it and that it wont ever get better
Feb 29, 2016 12:35 PM - The program 61: oh really
Feb 29, 2016 2:20 PM - Vrill: Daron Lee will still be drafted in the 20's somewhere. There is going to be a long run on DL in the middle portion of the first round since its the deepest position going in.
Feb 29, 2016 2:21 PM - Vrill: so teams will take advantage of it
Feb 29, 2016 2:38 PM - adambr2: D. Randall pulled over with WR Strong of the Texans, strong arrested for possession of marijuana. No charges for Randall, sounds like a non issue hopefully is.

Feb 29, 2016 7:32 PM - jrock645: My god these guys are so incredibly stupid, it defies description
Feb 29, 2016 7:34 PM - 7thFloorRA: It is incredibly stupid. Wait until they write it out of the next CBA to be so liberal about using it in public. You have to go out of your way to get caught.

Mar 1, 2016 12:32 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I can't say I was that impressed with Cousins, at least to deserve that kind of pay day. Granted, I didn't watch much of him, but given that he faced the other NFC East teams twice, that doesn't impress me much.

Mar 1, 2016 5:36 PM - C-Lee: jaylon smith anyone?
Mar 1, 2016 5:37 PM - Vltrophy: He's one of the top pd K's in the NFL
Mar 1, 2016 5:38 PM - C-Lee: Agreed, Crosby is the man. He's come a long, long way.
Mar 1, 2016 5:38 PM - Vltrophy: He's like a top 10 pick if I remember according to ESPN
Mar 1, 2016 5:39 PM - C-Lee: His injury has him dropping on a lot of the mock drafts.
Mar 1, 2016 5:39 PM - Vltrophy: Is he one w/nerve damage to his knees
Mar 1, 2016 5:41 PM - 7thFloorRA: Crosby has been great but that has to be the highest salary for a kicker. 4 per year!!!
Mar 1, 2016 5:41 PM - Vltrophy: Whoever drafts him may red shirt him his rookie year
Mar 1, 2016 5:42 PM - 7thFloorRA: I would 100 percent do that if I were TT and he was around in the 3rd round.
Mar 1, 2016 5:42 PM - Vltrophy: Gostkowski loves Crosbys contract. He'll get or want a bigger contract than Crosby's
Mar 1, 2016 5:43 PM - 7thFloorRA: There are not going to be 9 openings on this years roster so guys will get cut. Red shirting a talent like Jaylon could be a huge lottery ticket
Mar 1, 2016 5:43 PM - C-Lee: when is the draft again?
Mar 1, 2016 5:45 PM - Vltrophy: April 28th-30th
Mar 1, 2016 5:49 PM - C-Lee: Hoping for Ragland
Mar 1, 2016 5:49 PM - Vltrophy: I'd like to get TE Henry rd 1 but TT has gone D last few years. We need to start drafting OL. Bulaga has signed his last contract w/the Packers imo
Mar 1, 2016 5:49 PM - C-Lee: That'd be so great
Mar 1, 2016 5:50 PM - C-Lee: I honestly wouldn't be shocked if TT went OL first pick and pissed off Packer nation

Mar 1, 2016 at 5:51 PM - Vltrophy: RR is a good #2 TE. Not much yac
Mar 1, 2016 at 5:51 PM - Vltrophy: I'm ok w/an OL if not Henry
Mar 1, 2016 at 5:52 PM - C-Lee: Yup. Hidden gem in the redzone though. He gets open and has great hands.
Mar 1, 2016 at 5:53 PM - 7thFloorRA: oh yay....another sherrod. I don't want TT drafting lineman on either side of the ball in the first 2 rounds unless its a top 10 overall can't miss guy
Mar 1, 2016 at 5:54 PM - C-Lee: give me Ragland TT. Just do it.
Mar 1, 2016 at 5:54 PM - Vltrophy: Even top 10's are a miss. Look at the Texans #1 draft 2 years ago
Mar 1, 2016 at 5:56 PM - Vltrophy: Clowny. Just thought of his name
Mar 1, 2016 at 6:06 PM - 7thFloorRA: He looked like trouble in college. Just wanted to fill his wallet.
Mar 1, 2016 at 6:10 PM - Vltrophy: TT will take a TE or WR in the first 5 rds imo. DD was a 7th rd pick. What a gem he was
Mar 1, 2016 at 6:20 PM - 7thFloorRA: I don't see him taking a wr that he intends on keeping on the 53 man roster. I bet he takes or signs a project for the PS
Mar 1, 2016 at 6:25 PM - Vltrophy: W/o JJ we have 6 WRs so maybe a TE. But then just hoping. Ragland or Lee would be a good pick

Mar 1, 2016 9:49 PM - jrock645: Most mocks have us taking a NT. I'm all for it. Who knows how it actually plays out. Such a crapshoot
Mar 1, 2016 9:51 PM - jrock645: It'd seem very unlikely we keep JJ. I see the argument for and against. I just can't see TT keeping him at his age
Mar 2, 2016 2:16 AM - Jerellh528: I doubt we keep jj, and that's totally fine with me
Mar 2, 2016 7:58 AM - Pokerbrat2000: So are people "OK" with keeping Jordy "at his age" next year? Jordy is 14 months younger then Jones. JJ may not be as fast as some, but getting tired of hearing "he is too old".
Mar 2, 2016 9:31 AM - jrock645: Its not that JJ is too old, its that hes on his way down and we have potentially growing young guys
Mar 2, 2016 10:19 AM - Pokerbrat2000: We can only hope that those "4 young guys"...live up to their potential.
Mar 2, 2016 10:37 AM - SeahawkFan80: I think we are in the same boat. We need to hope we have the up and comers ready this year.
Mar 2, 2016 12:05 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I'm fine with up and comers on a rotational basis, but prefer starting the season with proven vets at WR.
Mar 2, 2016 12:10 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I think Adams proved my fears last year
Mar 2, 2016 12:31 PM - tynimiller: If Adams struggles in one year makes you jump ship...look back at some of the others struggles early on.....
Mar 2, 2016 1:03 PM - Twiddlemylobes: I understand the concept of longevity concerning the WR position. But we have a bunch of young guys so we're not out of balance at all holding on to a vet like JJ. I would even offer that his experience rubs off on the players around him in confidence. The rest comes down to value. He's also one of the best value producers this team has. His production vs salary at under 1mil is rare
Mar 2, 2016 1:17 PM - adambr2: Rotoworld.com expects Janis to beat out Adams
Mar 2, 2016 1:53 PM - Vltrophy: Falcons released Roddy White
Mar 2, 2016 2:03 PM - C-Lee: I have confidence in Davante.
Mar 2, 2016 2:03 PM - C-Lee: I think he was hurt the whole year and the pressure got to him.
Mar 2, 2016 2:05 PM - C-Lee: LaFell got dropped by the Pats too.
Mar 2, 2016 2:06 PM - Twiddlemylobes: If we pick up a veteran FA or just happen to steal one top of the draft.. Davante better come out and perform early and often.
Mar 2, 2016 2:06 PM - Pokerbrat2000: I agree on JJ Twiddle, but I think we are in the minority.
Mar 2, 2016 2:08 PM - Pokerbrat2000: IMO the situation would be different with JJ if we had a known commodity beyond Jordy and Cobb, but we don't, unless you keep JJ in the conversation.
Mar 2, 2016 2:08 PM - Twiddlemylobes: i don't mind being in your minority. We're both smart guys. Lol
Mar 2, 2016 2:09 PM - Pokerbrat2000: LOL....agreed LOL
Mar 2, 2016 2:09 PM - Pokerbrat2000: we are probably in the minority thinking that too
Mar 2, 2016 2:11 PM - Twiddlemylobes: Good point.
Mar 2, 2016 2:15 PM - Twiddlemylobes: Even in elections the popular vote doesn't always win.
Mar 2, 2016 2:16 PM - Pokerbrat2000: So Bernie still could win!!!!
Mar 2, 2016 2:17 PM - Twiddlemylobes: Of course
Mar 2, 2016 2:19 PM - Twiddlemylobes: Any dude over 60 who likes PHISH is already a winner
Mar 2, 2016 2:22 PM - Pokerbrat2000: You might like this then.....LOL

Mar 2, 2016 4:17 PM - longtimefan: here come roddy white posts
Mar 2, 2016 5:34 PM - SeahawkFan80: Wait wait wait.....Twiddle and Poker are smart guys??? Is there a verification process to this?? LOL
Mar 2, 2016 5:49 PM - Vltrophy: Not expecting it but how awesome would it be if TT moved up to 20th(Redskins)& drafted Ragland. Then traded back into the 1st rd for Henry. 2009 TT picked Raji then traded back into the first rd to get Matthews
Mar 2, 2016 5:54 PM - Vltrophy: The current mock draft has the Packers taking Andrew Billings. Best NT in the draft
Mar 2, 2016 5:55 PM - Eli Haugen: i would love a big fresh NT rookie in the 1st. Guion can rotate and stay fresh. I would stack the Dline if it was up to me though. lay 3 down more too.\
Mar 2, 2016 5:58 PM - Vltrophy: Vikings are interested in him as well

 

[TaigaChat]

Mar 2, 2016 at 6:00 PM - Vltrophy: Billings is 6"2" 315 lbs
Mar 2, 2016 at 6:02 PM - Vltrophy: Flacco signs 3 yr $66M $44 guaranteed making him the highest pd player average per year
Mar 2, 2016 at 6:50 PM - Eli Haugen: flacco cashed in on that last superbowl. Ravens are screwed. . I hope the Vikes dont get the DT. Cant stand it when opposing north teams get the players i want.
Mar 2, 2016 at 7:07 PM - Vltrophy: Billings could really help the Vikings. He could help us as well. Plus w/us he'll win a Super Bowl

Mar 3, 2016 9:34 AM - Carl: Trading up twice would probably cost the entire drafts worth of picks and maybe some of next year's picks
Mar 3, 2016 10:01 AM - Vrill: CAR released Charles Johnson.
Mar 3, 2016 12:20 PM - Vrill: http://gnb.247sports.com/Bolt/San-Diego-Chargers-release-ILB-Donald-Butler-44061403
Mar 3, 2016 1:57 PM - Vltrophy: Texans released Arian Foster
Mar 3, 2016 3:53 PM - Green and Gold: Do you break the bank for Trev or settle for a much cheaper Daryl Smith?
Mar 3, 2016 3:54 PM - Green and Gold: Sign everybody who gets cut. EVERYBODY!!!
Mar 3, 2016 4:57 PM - Poppa San: Then trade all our draft picks for a 2 for one over the next two years.

Mar 3, 2016 8:49 PM - jrock645: What's everyone think of Donald Butler? Are his best days over or was he just severely overpaid and hit a rough patch? Don't know any ing about him, personally
Mar 3, 2016 9:52 PM - Pokerbrat2000: Butler is a classic example of someone who signed a big contract and got lazy. Not sure if his bank account is still in good enough shape for him to remain that way. Might be worth looking at, but nothing special if he hasn't changed his work ethics.
Mar 4, 2016 5:45 AM - Eli Haugen: Why did sandiego pay butler 50 million in the first place? Who is running the show there? wow
Mar 4, 2016 6:00 AM - Vrill: but Butler might be worth a look. hes young still....
Mar 4, 2016 6:35 AM - Pokerbrat2000: Both Butler and now Martellus Bennett are players that their teams have said "enough is enough" and don't want them. So without an attitude adjustment and a substantial discount I wouldn't want them on my team either.
Mar 4, 2016 8:48 AM - SeahawkFan80: I know what you mean on Bennett. He wanted his brother to go to Chitown, and his brother said no. Now I think they want to get his brother to our team...I dunno tho. The attitude has to be for the team not the individual.
Mar 4, 2016 1:03 PM - Vrill: Sometimes a change in atmosphere changes a player in itself.
Mar 4, 2016 1:08 PM - Vrill: its happened many times....
Mar 4, 2016 3:36 PM - JK64: Vrill, that works for a year or maybe two, then the player goes back to his bad old ways.
Mar 4, 2016 4:35 PM - longtimefan: Two years... Enough time to get to the SB
Mar 4, 2016 4:50 PM - SeahawkFan80: Players that stick to the wrong crowd will be back in the same situation they were in to begin with. If they change the crowd, they may be able to respond differently. I kinda liked moving around every 4 to 6 years a while back...now not so much. That is what vacations are for.
Mar 4, 2016 6:51 PM - Green and Gold: Anything other than a QB or RB in round 1.
Mar 4, 2016 6:52 PM - Green and Gold: GB's best drafts are when they draft the best player available and not when they are drafting for needs.

Mar 4, 2016 11:10 PM - ExpatPacker: BPA for the Packers this year could be Andrew Billings, who may very well be there at #27
Mar 5, 2016 6:18 AM - Eli Haugen: theres a good group of guys I would love for GB to draft. One usually makes it to us, before Ted picks someone I never heard of. lol! Haha was one i wanted. But last year I wanted the DT the Pats picked right after us. Glad we got Randall now tho. He is going to me a stud.
Mar 5, 2016 10:35 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: Any word on the FA Front?
Mar 5, 2016 10:38 AM - adambr2: Technically free agency hasn't begun yet. Only ones available are the ones who have already been cut by teams.
Mar 5, 2016 10:40 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: There have been some cuts though....
Mar 5, 2016 10:41 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: Wasn't Smith from the Ravens cut? I like him....
Mar 5, 2016 10:42 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: I'd take Foster over Starks
Mar 5, 2016 10:44 AM - adambr2: Steve Smith? No. Foster yeah, but I don't know if we'd have any interest. I just don't see him as the kind of back that complements Lacy well.
Mar 5, 2016 10:45 AM - adambr2: Especially with him still rehabbing a torn Achilles which will make him a big question mark.
Mar 5, 2016 10:46 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: Smith the LB
Mar 5, 2016 10:46 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: Daryl Smith
Mar 5, 2016 10:48 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: Veteran ILB we can plug and play. Bump Clay back outside
Mar 5, 2016 10:58 AM - adambr2: Could be an option, but I'm not sure he has anything left. He's like 34 I think.
Mar 5, 2016 10:58 AM - adambr2: I wouldn't be opposed to him as a camp body
Mar 5, 2016 11:33 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: Camp Body? You insult his talent.
Mar 5, 2016 11:34 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: He's led the Ravens in tackles the last 3 years
Mar 5, 2016 11:34 AM - Favre>Rodgers259: He's not a sack machine, that's what Clay and Peppers are for.
Mar 5, 2016 12:56 PM - TeamTundra: Vikings resign safety Andrew Sendejo to a 4-year $16 million contract
Mar 5, 2016 1:14 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Overpaid
Mar 5, 2016 1:15 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Honestly I would be ok if we traded got rid of Burnett and signed Weddle
Mar 5, 2016 1:15 PM - Favre>Rodgers259: Weddle could play corner too honestly.
Mar 5, 2016 4:39 PM - adambr2: I'm guessing you're saying hypothetically but I'm sure we won't get rid of Burnett. Pretty good safety, reasonable contract, familiar with our D
Mar 5, 2016 6:19 PM - gonzozab: Greg Jennings was cut by the Dolphins. Exactly why his sister would make the worst GM in NFL history.
Mar 5, 2016 7:55 PM - adambr2: Surprised it took this long. Hard to find a more overpaid #4/#5 WR in the league. Well Dwayne Bowe.
