I think they do need some depth, but I wonder if there's not a little of that hometown-boy-gets-a-favor going on. Maybe they're hoping that being back home will somehow help the guy.

Here's one for you. If the Packers had a crystal ball on draft day to see Worthy's future and Russell Wilson's future, they could have selected Wilson instead, and perhaps in the course of playing him in the pre-season 2012, 2013, or during the 2013 stretch when Rodgers was hurt, Wilson could have built up enough interest to have trade partners lined up and the Pack could have parlayed him into draft picks. I know it's ridiculous to think they would have spent that pick on Wilson, but it's interesting to think about what might have been.
Be careful Carolina, some Packer fans, who spent too much time envisioning alternate scenarios about the Mandarich draft, still haven't returned to present day.
Flynn cut by the Patriots. He's a Packer to the heart, can only play in GB, and was on the NFI because he had a hamstring.

DJ Williams signs with the Redskins. Probably to play QB.
Flynn to the Jets - if he gets healthy, he could end up starting there! Not like he's behind an entrenched started or anything.
Forgot to grab the link, but I think Jarius Wynn was placed on an injured list with the Bills.
Yep, injured reserve. http://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bill...arius_wyn.html

He also is not guaranteed to win a backup job, he has lingering hammy. The Jets coach certainly offered him a warm welcome in his quote to press.:smile:
Flynn is a mystery. Last preseason the camp watchers said his arm was reinvigorated - throwing with some new zip. Not so much when he played in games. He is only 30, not old for a qb.
Are there really no other vets waiting by phone?
Vick & Rex don't sound so terrible to me.
Chewy said that Craig Nall still has a cannon for an arm; none of the old timers could catch his passes at the flag football game this summer. Maybe Jets should have scouted game.
ninja'd, when was the last time you did that old timer?
You forgot Tyler Thigpen and Seneca Wallace. And this guy, who let the team he looks good in green
@JaredLorenzen22
Umm @nyjets just saying I already look great in green. #ComingbacktoNYC #ThrowboyTees

Free agent CB Jarrett Bush, already suspended 4 weeks, was just suspended an additional 10 weeks, source said. Former #Packers CB
I'll be the first on to call it
He'll resign with GB just in time for another Super Bowl Run !!
Flynn should have gotten the Tommy John surgery years ago. He'd probably be not terrible if his elbow weren't so chewed up.
Sometime TE and full time pain in the ass ST player Brandon Bostick was cut today by the Vikes.
Terrell Manning was released by the Falcons.
Terrible Manning... "I'm the best LB in the entire draft!" Rest well. Wish you'd sucked less.
Patler and I were discussing WR Jarrett Boykin and how he fell off the cliff for the GBP. That thud you just heard was the Panthers cutting him. Wonder how he had such a negative turnaround in his career?
Looks like DuJuan Harris was cut by the Vikings.
Terrell Manning was just cut by the Falcons.
It looks like Colin Cole will be entering another NFL season as a member of the Carolina Panthers. 35 years old.
Gilbert Brown just signed with the Bears.
Harold Spears signed with the Steelers for their PS.
Khyri Thornton claimed off waivers by New England.
Mitchell Henry signed off waivers by Denver.
Greg Bedard Award For Snark Based On Nothing But An Assumption About Coaching That You Would Excoriate A Fan For Having
Bob McGinn @BobMcGinn 7m7 minutes ago
DT Khyri Thornton to #Pats off waivers, reunites with ex-So Miss LB J. Collins. If anyone can get Thornton more aggressive, maybe it's BB.
For short, that award is called the GBASBONBAAACTYWEAFH. Or the Lupica.
Crickets on Matt Blanchard? And on McGinn's fav, Ed Williams?
As for Retard's comment: Like Belichek got Jerel Worthy all fired up?
Thornton's motor was not supposed to be his issue coming out. I just don't think he can play. Doesn't matter if he was a third rounder or a 5th rounder. He made a play here or there, but I'm surprised he was picked up by a 3-4 squad...
