How much trade value does Jolly have given the legal issues?

He'd have little value without the legal issues.

Exactly. Jenkins has more trade value.

[Lurker64]

Exactly. Jenkins has more trade value.

Why are you in such a hurry to get rid of him? He's the best DE on the team right now and no matter who we sign, we're going to need backups. Plus, his trade value is the lowest it will be right now, I doubt we could get a 4th round pick for him. Knowing Thompson it's not as though we actually need to trade decent starters for late round picks.

[Waldo]

He also has a lot more value on the field.

Not in hurry. Only consider trading if one of the fa des is signed or a draft pick/Harrell/Jolly shows starting capabilities.

Unfortunately Jenkins is akin to a light heavy weight trying to move up to the heavy weight class. Is Jenkins capable of playing olb.

Recall Jenkins was unexcited about the 3-4 switch. MM is attempting to "sell" Jenkins on the scheme. Recall Corey Williams comments to Jenkins about the 3-4. As a matter of fact Williams is probably a better fit for the 3-4 than Jenkins.

You have no idea what your talking about. Trade jenkins? NO. Move Jenkins to olb. NO. Hes our best D-linmen as of now.

Garcia is an interesting name on that list. Not to us, of course, but where will that journeyman land next? The new coach in TB likely won't want him, because he should have a couple years anyways, so he'll prefer to bring along his own guy. And it sure seems he's got a bit left.

He could well land in our division wearing purple. He'd be a fit for the Bears as well, but they're too stupid to realize Orton is not 'it'.

Two high profile names to add to the list - Jax cut Joey Porter and Drayton Florence. Again, neither are guy's we'd be interested in. Question is, will anyone be interested in Porter?

[Zool]

Jerry Porter or Joey Porter?

Which players should the Packers legitimately pursue?

I would like to know which players people think the Packers should illegitimately pursue.

[Guiness]

Jerry Porter or Joey Porter?

Jax WR. Ya, Jerry.

Okay, let's do a little comparison here. We have three players:

Player A is 6'6" and 309 pounds
Player B is 6'2" and 304 pounds
Player C is 6'7" and 306 pounds.

Do any of these players seem "akin to a lightweight" to be playing 3-4 DE, a position roughly comparable to 4-3 UT? Certainly, one is shorter than the other two, but the shorter one is likely more densely built and would be difficult to move. Do you really believe that any of these players are too small to play inside?

Player A is Olshansky, Player B is Jenkins, Player C is Canty. (For comparison purposes, both Justin Harrell and Corey Williams are 6'4" 320)

[mission]

Jenkins ain't gonna get you anything higher than a 5th or 6th ... maybe a 7th considering the injury factor

Are you going to get anything close to Jenkins in the 5th round or higher? Maybe in 3 years but even that's a stretch.

Any trades on the defensive line just aren't gonna add up right now.

[red]

well first, you just don't get rid of jenkins, he is exactly the perfect fit for a 3-4 DE. it would be insane to trade him

second, i would really like to see us go after canty. we need depth at DE and it would be nice if we filled that depth with a starter and let the other guys back him up

third. for the peeps that are still in love with haynesworth. he is a complete ass and a total turd that will blow up in the face of whatever team decides to make him the highest paid defensive player in the nfl. want proof? pft is reporting that a couple months ago he ran someone of the road while going around 100 mph, he did this while already on probation for going over 100. the guys just a time bomb

I'm happy with landing either Olshansky or Canty, but is the decision of "Canty or Olshansky?" really clear cut.

If everything else is equal, I'd think the guy from Dnipropetrovsk might be happier in Green Bay than the guy from the Bronx.

[red]

i would honestly be happy with either one

both would be an big improvement over whoever we currently have to play that other DE spot
