Several released/unsigned free agent 2005 Packers made it with other teams:

Flanagan - Houston
Fisher - Rams
Roman - 49ers
Chatman - Bengals (They kept him even though he only had 1 catch and 1 punt return in the pre-season)
Grady Jackson - Falcons

Who else could go on this list?

Not sure but I just read that Cory Rodgers got picked up by Burger King.

Donnell Washington has been hired as head of quality control on some farm in Bogota, Colombia.

Well, he was a guy with talent who didn't appear to work terribly hard to make that talent flourish. He didn't learn the routes as a receiver and couldn't catch the ball.

Yeah, but does that take into acount that he gave me his autograph and has a sweet car and gave EVERYBODY an autograph who asked him sometimes meaning he'd sit or stand there for 10 minutes signing. He's a class act though it might be he was signing because he knew he probably never would again.

Rashaad Lee and Robert Thomas are on the Raiders.

Roman of course is on the 49'ers.

Washington would be a natural eating burgers (and everything else on the menu, including the menu) on a BK commericial.

Cory Rodgers might be better suited for one of those commercials where they show classic sports moments going the wrong way. Rodgers could fill in for Dwight Clark and drop the ball.

Na'il's injury didn't turn out to be serious. More of a 2-3 week thing like Hendu. He's still on the team, and he'll be a starting LB for the Panthers.

Fisher - Rams

Would anyone else besides me feel more comfortable if T-Fish was still our third-string back instead of Noah?

Oh well - c'est la vie.

Good for Tony.

Fisher may have a little more speed but I don't see a huge dropoff in talent.

Ironically, I was thinking to myself earlier today that Fisher and Herron are virtually the same players. They both are smart players, catch the ball, block pretty well, but don't run the ball well. They'll get you 3 yards when you need 3 yards and they'll get you 3 yards when you need 10 yards.

Except I think Fisher is a better WR so is probably also a better 3rd down back

Bretsky,

I remember Herron being a pretty damn good receiver in college. We just haven't seen him get those opportunities in the pros.

Maybe 'cause he hasn't seized the opportunity to show off his hands. He's been given chances....

Oh well, I hope he turns out to be a pleasant surprise. I'll certainly be rooting for him.

I thought Rodgers was signed to run the Slurpee machine at 7-Eleven? :mrgreen:

Maybe he's working 2 jobs to make ends meet. Apparently he has a nice car---which means expensive car payments---and ammo costs a lot of money too! :mrgreen:
