Packers LS Rob Davis announced his retirement

Any Ray-Ray ref is good for a laugh.

The guy is all football, but man, what a shitty HC he was for us.

I figured Davis was done. He had trouble snapping (Chicago?), blocking, running the field, and tackling last season. Don't matter how good a guy you are with those performance issues.

I just read McGinn's chat. Because he's still with the Packers with a new staff job, he could easily come out of retirement in mid season if the new long snapper stinks it up. So he's not technically taking up a roster spot, but he's still with the team. Pretty shrewd move.

True. And he's also available to train his replacement.

Actually, I think he can sign mid-season with any team EXCEPT the Packers. I believe anyone employed by a team other than under a standard player contract can not sign a player contract with the same team in the same season.

Makes sense, because otherwise a team could sign backup players as groundskeepers, waterboys, etc. and roster size limitations would be meaningless.

Well then, that's the last time I believe Bob McGinn!

Welcome to a whole new world boys.

The Champs are gone.

Wow, this team looks soooo different now.

How weird is it going to look when DD and Harris go?

Since he's still associated with the team in a front office capacity, that means I don't have to replace my #60 Rob Davis jersey, right?
