New at #Packers Insiders Blog: Packers bring in former #Bengals TE Jermaine Gresham http://pck.rs/1MLzAJ2
Actually, I think they've just brought him in for a visit.
Kinda Surprised that they're bringing someone like this in so late. I hope they sign them. TE was a weak position last season and didn't get any better in the off-season. Drop Quarless and add Gresham.
But, I see Saints and Cardinals are in the mix. He'll sign with the Saints I bet.
He must feel he can now pass a physical. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.
I think this would be a good signing - he's played at a high level, and is still young. I think it could come down to the physical.
I might have misread that one.
Sounds like there are quite a few teams interested in him--now that he's healthy again.
I'm guessing that is is more like close to healthy than actually healthy. Teams are kicking the tires, but either not offering a contract or offering one that is well below what someone of his talent and production would command. Somewhat like Finley last year. I hope he's well enough for the Packers to roll the dice (perhaps incentive-laden and lower pay if on IR for back trouble contract). He's way better than any other TE on the roster. If healthy.Quote:

He would be an instant starter on the Pack. AR would make him a top 10 TE in the game!
I think there's a date after which FA's signed don't count against the signing team - pretty sure I saw an article saying Baltimore does that.Quote:

I like Rodgers better but wouldnt mind bringing him in for depth with the whole Quarless situation.
This guy is a coin flip.
Could be good could be bad.
He has deceptive speed.
He's slower than he looks.
Can be a good blocker, sometimes.
There was a game last season that he took himself out at the last minute when Cincy needed him.
The guy has one season in the tank and probably realizes it.
Depending on his attitude, he might be worth a flyer, but he isn't as good as Rodgers or Quarless, IMVHO.
Gresham signed with Arizona.
I feel like a Tabloid Journalist now.
It doesn't just happen to the tabloids.Quote:
