    Currently there are eight games without lines, waiting for information.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    OK. That makes sense, I guess. Like I said, I don't follow it closely at all. I do know the Packers tend to draw a lot of betting, so maybe they know enough and want to take that money...

    For no reason, here is the 1992 Bills-Oilers Playoff Game featuring that comeback. Remember some players: Frank Reich, Webster Slaughter, Nate Odom, Mark Kelso, Darryl Talley (and a sign for him that read Talley's Whackers!), Curtis Duncan, Jack Pardee, Kevin Gilbride, Lorenzo White, Kenneth Davis, Ernest Givens, Pete Metzelaars Don Beebe and James Lofton!

    I was skiing with friends and came back to the lodge and saw the game. Was told the score and thought it was over. Had no intention of staying to watch a blowout but the comeback kept us (well me and one other guy) in out seats.

    The Green Bay Packers made four different roster moves on Tuesday.

    The team claimed cornerback Deante Burton off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons, placed receiver Trevor Davis on injured reserve, signed cornerback Will Redmond to the practice squad and released safety Marwin Evans from the practice squad.

    I was surprised it took so long with Trevor Davis. He has basically been injured all preseason and going on two weeks of the regular season. I expect an injury settlement will be forthcoming unless they feel strongly enough about his future special teams work.

    Agreed. Hard for me to imagine they think that highly of him that they'd bring him back.

    I suspect Davis and Rollins, looking at the offseason moves, pretty much came to the conclusion that their time in GB was over.

    Rollins spot seems to have been filled, over and over again if you count the one roster signing and the one PS signing.

    But there is still room for Davis. We will know that if he gets a injury settlement so he can get off IR and sign with the Packers again this year. They are either tired of waiting (which would be remarkably fast for the Packers) or trust his injury and history aren't going to make him an attractive target.

    They don't want Cobb back there and they probably don't want even the third RB back there. Maybe one of the new guys get a ST job.

    I can't recall if they tried Exxon Valdez at PR, but he would be the guy you'd probably want back there from among the young WRs - if he can field a punt.

    I don't understand your point. He doesn't need an injury settlement, "so he can get off IR and sign with the Packers again this year.". They can bring him back as one of the two allowed returns from IR.

    I thought there was a way, if they are released with injury settlement, that they can come back in ?four weeks. Problem is of course that another team could then sign them... I'll check.

    For example:

    The way injury settlements work is a player and the team agree to a payout based on how long the player is expected to be injured. After that time is up, he can sign anywhere, or wait three weeks at which point the Raiders are allowed to re-sign him.

    For instance, should the injury settlement for just one week, Whalen could be re-signed in a month.

    You need only look at what happened with James Cowser in 2016. The Raiders released him on an injury settlement on September 10th. By October 4th, he was re-signed to the team’s practice squad and he’s been with the team ever since.

    So Davis has a Packer hammy.

    4 weeks until healed. 3 more weeks for Packers to wait. Can have him back on the roster in 8 weeks if no other team signs him.
    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.

    Yes, if you think the injury is real short term, because they have to wait the settlement period plus three weeks. If you think the injury is 4 weeks or less, why not just keep him on the 53 man roster and not have to wait the extra three weeks while he is presumably healthy? This early in the season the roster is quite healthy, and with game day inactives anyway it should be easy to carry him for four games.

    At the very least it shows they value him less (assuming it's a pretty minor injury), and are happy with what they have on the roster to field punts, and back up WR. (I suppose they might sign in another guy as a PR at some point too).
