Here's one for you. If the Packers had a crystal ball on draft day to see Worthy's future and Russell Wilson's future, they could have selected Wilson instead, and perhaps in the course of playing him in the pre-season 2012, 2013, or during the 2013 stretch when Rodgers was hurt, Wilson could have built up enough interest to have trade partners lined up and the Pack could have parlayed him into draft picks. I know it's ridiculous to think they would have spent that pick on Wilson, but it's interesting to think about what might have been.
Be careful Carolina, some Packer fans, who spent too much time envisioning alternate scenarios about the Mandarich draft, still haven't returned to present day.
Flynn cut by the Patriots. He's a Packer to the heart, can only play in GB, and was on the NFI because he had a hamstring.

From what I have been hearing this has been coming for a few days close to a week, and was no surprise. They also will likely bring him back when the hammy is healed, they just wanted an able body in camp to do some throwing.Quote:

DJ Williams signs with the Redskins. Probably to play QB.
Actually, the Indigenous Americans would love to have the Packers TE situation. They've had 2 TE's get hurt and their starter missed 12 games last year.Quote:

Forgot to grab the link, but I think Jarius Wynn was placed on an injured list with the Bills.
Yep, injured reserve. http://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bill...arius_wyn.html

Flynn is a mystery. Last preseason the camp watchers said his arm was reinvigorated - throwing with some new zip. Not so much when he played in games. He is only 30, not old for a qb.
Are there really no other vets waiting by phone?
Supposedly, choices 2 & 3 were Vick and Rex Grossman(!).Quote:

Chewy said that Craig Nall still has a cannon for an arm; none of the old timers could catch his passes at the flag football game this summer. Maybe Jets should have scouted game.
ninja'd, when was the last time you did that old timer?Quote:

Free agent CB Jarrett Bush, already suspended 4 weeks, was just suspended an additional 10 weeks, source said. Former #Packers CB
I'll be the first on to call it
He'll resign with GB just in time for another Super Bowl Run !!
Flynn should have gotten the Tommy John surgery years ago. He'd probably be not terrible if his elbow weren't so chewed up.
can I get a big 'ol wtf? out of this?Quote:

Sometime TE and full time pain in the ass ST player Brandon Bostick was cut today by the Vikes.
