    I was a little surprised. Does he have connections to O'Connell?

    No. He's old friends with Pettine.

    LOL I give him credit for making a roster for several seasons now, but he's a fringe roster player.

    This keeps Gute from having to make that decision in order to please the GM.

    Now, what about Cobb?

    If I were on the Packers and I wanted job security, I would set about becoming Aaron Rodgers's best friend.

    he's still a pretty good players, isn't he ? He'll get signed; just for less
    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    No, he will make more than his base salary was set to be from the Browns. If I'm guessing he will ink another 3 year deal worth close to $30 million.

    Buluga was released by chargers. If he is crazy cheap would love to see him come back. But needs to have injury clauses and play time incentives.

    How many old broken down OL guys do you want on this team?

    Football is a young man's game, especially in the trenches. The Packers moved on from Bulaga at the right time. No reason whatsoever to bring him back.
    It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

    Actually the trenches is the one place where old men can compete if their bodies hold up.

    Wow. I wonder if Scott has grown and learned how to handle the mental side. The leg was never the problem.

    He comes from a lovely, well-grounded family. All mental issues are solely his own creation.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    Za'Darius to the Vikings for a reported 3yrs $42m. Quite a jump from the contract he was going to sign with the Ravens which was more years and less money total!

    Of course, no details on either deal, so it might not (probably isn't?) all that. Still, not looking forward to seeing him twice a year.

    Vikings are switching to a 3-4 defense this year. Was Smith hurt last year? Put up great numbers during his GB career.
