About once every two years they send some guy packing like that. Seem to remember a piece last year about how they needed to churn the bottom of the roster more to scare players, which mostly ignored when it had been done previously.

I wonder what the shelf life of this move is in the locker room?

Ah, how soon they forget!

Daniel was on the practice squad all last year, and they talked about how much he had improved. As a "reward" of sorts, they signed him to the regular roster for the last playoff game, even though he was inactive. This past off season he was mentioned as a possible replacement for Goodson during Goodson's suspension, who might hold on to the job because he was one of their bigger corners. When camp started, he soon fell behind Hawkins and the rookie safeties. He was in their last batch of cuts, and I think had a brief look with someone. The Packers eventually got him back on their practice squad in late September, but released him just a few days later. He went to Washington for about a week, then Baltimore until now.

‘Somebody pinch me and wake me up’: Ottawa Redblacks’ Henry Burris savours Grey Cup win

Tim Baines, Postmedia Network .... November 29, 2016 10:26 AM ET


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Burris

The Green Bay Packers took interest in Henry Burress after the 2000 CFL season ended, and signed him to a contract.

Burris began playing in the 2001 NFL season, when he spent several weeks as the Packers' ( Roster third-string quarterback ) , before he was released and then he spent the rest of the season on their practice squad.

This fella was amazing on Sunday in what is being touted as one of the greatest ever Grey Cup games. Playing injured, the Ottawa Redblacks QB, Henry Burress put on one of the greatest All Time Grey Cup performances ( the games MVP ). He's a class act and has had a solid CFL career.

His reaction following that huge win on Sunday was wonderful to see. I've seen few better reactions following any Championship victory celebration. His teammates love him; Ottawa loves him.

Former Packer TE Mitchell Henry diagnosed with leukemia.

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18210089/mitchell-henry-diagnosed-leukemia-days-being-cut-baltimore-


Henry, who was released from the Ravens' practice squad last month and has spent time with the Green Bay Packers and Denver Broncos in his two-year NFL career, has been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, according to his brother, Ben Henry, on a website to help raise money for treatment.

According to a source, the tight end from Western Kentucky began to experience pain in his shoulder a few days after he was cut Nov. 10 by the Ravens, who told Henry they intended to re-sign him the following week. The Ravens told Henry to stay in Baltimore after he was released, but he wanted to go home to spend the weekend hunting with his father and be with his wife, Madison.

While in Kentucky, Henry went to a hospital where doctors found a mass in his chest.

Henry is undergoing chemotherapy, the source said, and a match is being sought for a bone marrow transplant.

"He's in tough shape, but he's in good spirits," the source said. "He's a man of faith, and he's already started treatments." (http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18210089/mitchell-henry-diagnosed-leukemia-days-being-cut-baltimore-ravens)

I get the complaints about the Packers. What I don't get are this board's goofy solutions: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2691815-tramon-williams-released-by-browns-latest-comments-and-reaction


Williams, 33, signed with the Browns in 2015 after an eight-year run with the Green Bay Packers. He played in 27 of a possible 32 games, starting 22. Browns coach Hue Jackson benched Williams in favor of Jamar Taylor in 2016; he started just seven of his 12 appearances after being a starter for all 15 in 2015.

The Browns experimented with playing Williams at safety late in the season.

"I like to see the ball and at this point in my career at the safety position probably, you would definitely be able to see the ball," Williams told reporters. "I like picks."

Williams finished 2016 with 36 tackles and one interception. He had just two total as a Brown after posting multiple interceptions in his last seven seasons in Green Bay.

If he gets a look with another NFL team, Williams' move to safety may become permanent. Pro Football Focus graded him as just the 74th-best cornerback in the NFL last season.

He couldn't start at cornerback for the Browns. Not even in nickel or inside. 74th rated. He might need to move to safety. He is old and unless the laws of time have been suspended, he is getting older and not better. He is a terrible player right now.

[Maxie the Taxi]

I don't see how it hurts to bring him in for a look see. Nobody's saying (at least I'm not) that it's a "solution."

I don't. But he could no longer start for a 29th overall ranked defense, that ranked 30th in pass defense.

Unless there is some undisclosed injury that he will recover from in short order, the assumption has to be that he was worse than when he left GB.

Unless there is some undisclosed injury that he will recover from in short order, the assumption has to be that he was worse than when he left GB.

http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/teamdefThe question for me is: Is he currently as good or better than any of our CB's. His experience has got to count for something. He could serve as nothing more than a band-aid. In fact, I think it is rational to ask why, if the Browns had soured on Tramon, we didn't pursue him early last season when our guys started to bite the dust. His familiarity with Dom's system might have made him more serviceable than an injured Rollins or Randall.

Just sayin'.

[Rutnstrut]

The Packers know what he had when they released him, or did not re-sign him. He hasn't gotten better.

The Packers have released players that are still good before. TT and stubby are not the be all end all. He is NOT the fix fix, but IF able to be gotten cheap. He could be a partial patch job on the huge hole they have to fix. Piss poor contingency is what gets them in trouble as it is.

I hear ya, Maxie. Yeah, as long as it's a tire kicking and if he has tread left and doesn't expect a big money, then he could be depth. It could be a cheaper option than brining back Hyde, but then you'd have to decide which player brings more to the table at this point, and that is likely Hyde. It's awesome to be good with the cap, but sometimes laying out the money is worth it for younger legs and better production. However, if there is a hybrid free agent, slightly younger than Hyde who has better cover skills, I'd rather give that player the money we would be giving to Hyde. He does what he can in coverage, and was asked to do a lot more because of injuries, but savvy only carries you so far.

EXACTLY, very well stated.

[ThunderDan]

Agreed, completely. All I'm suggesting is that ALL options be thoroughly explored and left on the table. Don't let preconceived notions negate possible opportunity.

There was an article a few years ago that state TT brings the most guys weekly to GB to be looked at during the season. In the article it said he brought in around 10 players per week to look at. We just don't hear about it. We don't know what goes on in 1265.

I think TT has a very good grasp that our CBs and pass defense sucked this year. To think he doesn't is silly.

[Maxie the Taxi]

We don't know what goes on in 1265.A greater truth has never been spoken. It's why I said earlier that I won't get too excited about what is said here until TT and MM start posting.

[Guiness]

Agreed, completely. All I'm suggesting is that ALL options be thoroughly explored and left on the table. Don't let preconceived notions negate possible opportunity.

Trying to decide if you believe what you're saying or just being contrary. As the great Cincinnati poet Johnny Fever said, "speed kills Del" and Tramon has none of it left. Yes, at this point, a street UDFA has more to offer than he does because any NFL WR is going to get a step on his EVERY play.

Question: Why not bring in the 73rd ranked CB instead? Is Tramontana just a name you remember fondly or is there a specific reason to bring in this player? If you really just want to kick the tires, why not someone younger and higher in the rankings?

Do you really think Tramon has a resurrection left? If he doesn't, then he takes $400,000 of cap money over a young player (and likely won't play special teams) that could be used to sign someone else.

[Zool]

Agreed, completely. All I'm suggesting is that ALL options be thoroughly explored and left on the table. Don't let preconceived notions negate possible opportunity.

I think this might be the crux of the issue. We have no idea if they talk with his agent, call him on the phone, even look his way.

We just assume if the media doesn't report a player in for a tryout, then the Packers weren't interested. There's absolutely no way to know this. Gnashing teeth over the inaction (perceived or otherwise) of the front office is nonsensical. There's no way to know if a player is in the least bit interested in heading to Green Bay Wisconsin to work. Free agency is free. You don't just get who you want because you want it.

I haven't watched the latest film on him. I don't have the latest scouting report. I don't know if he's really finished or if the Cleveland hell hole ruined his will to play. I liked the way he played when he was here. He knows Dom's system. Hell, he might be worth a couple months in camp just to get into Randall's head. I'm spit-balling here. If the guy is death warmed over, don't call him. If he or his agent won't answer the phone, hang up.

I'm sure TT doesn't need me to tell him all this. Or, if he read this, he might die laughing. If what I write is news to him, geez we are in a crapload of trouble.:-)

If Lang signs with the Saints, we'll have a full blown conspiracy to talk about with the Saints signing former Packers. The Vikings are really slacking the last couple years picking off the scraps.

I preferred it when we stole young guys from under their nose (Gilbert, LeTroy).

I suppose we owe them comp picks for McCarthy indirectly.

There was some pushback on Kaepernick this week and one of the points raised by a personnel guy was that Kaepernick could not run your offense, you would have to run his offense. Put aside for the moment whether that is true, but think about the implication.

We need a guy who is 6' 4", who will stay in the pocket and make all the throws and take the hits and run our offense. There are, generously, 12 guys who can do that effectively and that list includes the inaccurate Manning. But that does not stop teams from hiring coaches who run THAT offense. So there are always 20 spots manned by guys (like Stave, Tolzien, Blake Bortles, Brock Osweiler, Mike Glennon, and Tom Savage) who are not NFL quality and will cost you games.

But the teams keep hiring coaches that continue this cycle. The team HOPES it can find a QB to run the offense. And they make bad trade after bad decision to find them. The entire idea of coaches on a 5 year contract is designed around the idea of finding that QB in the first 3 years and developing him.

Three teams broke the mold recently and all were aborted by people dying to return to the old model (sometimes due to predecessor incompetence). Buffalo, Philly/San Fran (Kelly), and San Francisco (Harbaugh) all blew up attempts to make an alternative system work.

An alternate approach to offense is the answer. But no one wants to support it and hire competent people to do it. The only man who does?

Bill Belichick.

McCarthy is innovative (though recently he made a major shift to a smaller number of plays out of fewer formations, I think to the team's detriment) but he has succeeded largely because like Wolf, Thompson knew how to find a QB in the draft without bankrupting the entire player acquisition process. But even with a judicious QB search, they got a little lucky.

[smuggler]

Even Belichik's innovation in the offense only extends as far as the OTHER positions, not QB.

I could make a similar argument about Tim Tebow. As a matter of fact Tebow is over .500, Kap is at .500. Tebow didn't have near as talented of a team. But GMs have decided they don't like distractions unless its a gay player then its cool. (or a dog torturer)

You could run a Tyrod Taylor kind of offense with Tebow. But no one really wanted to do that either. I think he falls into this category.

But he doesn't have the arm talent Kaepernick does. CK might be inaccurate, but he can do pre-snap reads and through to a spot. He also succeeded in the pocket last year for Kelly to a certain extent. Tebow needed players to run themselves open before he threw. His success in the pass game came when Defenses couldn't get pressure to him and had single coverage downfield (see the Pittsburgh playoff game).

Even that would only net a score or two a game.

[pbmax]

Even Belichik's innovation in the offense only extends as far as the OTHER positions, not QB.

I agree to a degree. But he remade the offense to suit Brady's abilities and Brady is not the prototypical QB except in size and toughness.

He doesn't have a cannon arm and he doesn't throw most of his passes into tight windows. What is unremarked about Belichick's achievement here is that he has created a completely new system that is very QB friendly, yet no one compares this to what Walsh did with Montana.

Not so much any more. Just goes to show what having good personnel can do for a coach's reputation.

Which means we should get a better idea this year just how good Pete Carroll really is or isn't. That roster looks good defensively, but they still seem to be struggling to figure out that o-line thing. And I've heard Lacy is maybe not quite as svelte and nimble as early reports suggested.

They've also recently done what many Packerrats pine for Ted to do: make a whole bunch of moves and trades. So we'll see how it all pans out. Though to Ted's credit given people's perception of him as a turtle, he's made a few moves of his own.

He hasn't had quite enough stops around the league just yet. Still young, first round pick, no debilitating injuries, good size and athleticism. Coaches tend to think they can get out of players like him what staffs on other teams were unable to. Once in a while, it works.

Lacy ends his disastrous first — and surely only — season in Seattle with four straight healthy scratches. A shell of the player he was upon first arriving in the NFL, 27-year-old Lacy never had a prayer behind the Seahawks' horrendous offensive line. He averaged 2.59 yards per carry between injuries, benchings and depth chart shakeups. Headed back to free agency, Lacy won't be missing many calls even if he keeps his phone on silent

From this morning’s @WiStateJournal ~ Would #Packers turn to native son John Schneider in GM search? Per @Rapsheet, they inquired — and #Seahawks denied them. But could a trade be worked out?

With as bad as Ted is at drafting, so many teams seem worse at it.

Eddie Lacy's dream might be over. Rotoworld summed it up nicely


Lacy ends his disastrous first — and surely only — season in Seattle with four straight healthy scratches. A shell of the player he was upon first arriving in the NFL, 27-year-old Lacy never had a prayer behind the Seahawks' horrendous offensive line. He averaged 2.59 yards per carry between injuries, benchings and depth chart shakeups. Headed back to free agency, Lacy won't be missing many calls even if he keeps his phone on silent

Kinda sad. Could have been one of the great ones. His combination of size and foot quickness was rare.

Just couldn't keep the weight off. One of those guys who peaks really quickly early then crashes just as fast.

I actually bought my first Packer jersey with Lacy's number on it. All my other Packer gear is without name or number.

I should be able to wear the jersey this season as he most likely won't be on any team this year.

Veteran's minimum with a $10k signing bonus. $100k per game played bonus.

In reality, the answer is no.

I don't want Sam's scrambled brains on my conscience.

I don't want Sam's scrambled brains on my conscience.

Samwise still has his ephemeral youth. If he wants to play and can still play, let him play. Sheilds might have to face the music when his youth withers, as most of us do, but life's a short trip anyway. As Napoléon Bonaparte once said, "In my bygone youth, I fought gloriously, fucked greedily and lived humbly."

While Shields was never a shutdown corner, he was a pretty damn good corner for an undrafted free agent. He's probably still better than any of the hocus-pocus corners currently on the Packers' roster. I, for one, would love to see Shields back in the Green and Gold.

If the Packers bring back Shields, I bet he starts opposite King, with Randall in the slot.

Just remember, Napolean also thought Borodino was the death blow to the Russkies, and didn't employ the imperial guard for a decisive victory. Belichick would have.

Shields will no doubt be able to play when he's 44. Just like TO.

[Rutnstrut]

Did you guys read the interview? He says if he comes back and gets even one more concussion, he's done. So say he comes back and is solid for awhile. Then his egg head gets jarred a bit and he gets concussed. I don't want to see a secondary built on a paper foundation.

lol

My point was, if Shields still enjoys ballin', and he loves the frogskins and fame and perks associated with being an NFL playa, he should return while he still has kung fu.

Remember, it's not the concussions but the repeated micro traumas that do the real lasting damage :-)

That's what he says now. But if he comes back and gets one more, he will miss the rest of the season and then probably decide to come back and give it one more shot. It's just one more.

Don't want to worry about those either. Let him get those in his everyday life, like when I think I got one when rear ended on the highway.

Josh Sitton...better a year too early than a year too late? Cut from the stinkin' Bears...ouch!!

Considering that Lane Taylor stepped in and played quite well, I'd say exactly the right time.

Bring black Sitton!

Seriously. The packers might have an opening at rg with the old guy from last season thinking about retirement (can’t even recall his name). Sitton played rg initially before switching to lg.

[pbmax]

They cut him and they are very think on the interior. Kyle Long is recovering from surgery and the other guy is a backup.

Between this and Cushing, maybe you are actually the reincarnated George Allen.

Your assembled collection of former Pro Bowlers would easily be available for almost half their games.

It's not like Sitton (and Cushing, for that matter) is over the hill. It's better a proven player like Sitton is protecting A-Rod than nobodies like McGray or Patrick.

You better be concerned with Patrick and McCray at Guard if you hire Sitton because both will play a lot when Sitton sits out for his back, knee and foot problems.

Its a young man's game Tank.
