Porter trade (ESPN Insider) today...

[woodbuck27]

we need Porter. the offense needs another weapon. He is a good,talented, WR. that would allow Jennings to play the 3 and fergy to be 4 and a special teams player.

I wouldn't be too pleased if anyone in OUR division secured Jerry Porter in a trade. I'm watching this closely.

I don't believe he's going anywhere real fast, unless someone toss's an exceptional deal at daaa Raidaaas. He's expensive also.

Just offer to design them some choke-proof jerseys.

Kind of late in the game now since they couldn't get it done pre-draft. Screw Al Davis, I could see offering a 3rd round pick, anymore than that he can forget it.

Davios is old school, he will trade when he wants the way he wants. Porter has to cough up 4M to just get started. That means that a new contract is required by ant team that trades for him. He is not going to lose 4M and play for his salary and hope he doesn't get another injury.

Davis wants a #1 but would more than likely take a #2, nothing less. He is in the driver seat. Porter isn't going anywhere and has to play. When the season starts Porter will move up in the depth chart and start.

Porter has alrerady been injured this year. Who knows how strong he really is or whwther this problem will continue. Nobody wants to give up a high draft chice for an injured player. Puled hams seem to linger all year, so Porters value has decreased.

IMO Porter is staying in Oakland for the season. Davis will dangle but wants too much. Now a team who has a rash of injuries to starting WRs, may make the move, but not unitl later in pre-season.

OK WOODY, THERE YOU GO ! Somebody get TT and MM on the phone quick and have them send a negotiator and whoever else they might need over to the Cities to interview Porter while he's there today. I'm sure he could get his agent to fly in too !!

[jack's smirking revenge]

I've got obligations tonight, but are there any other Packer Rats that would like to head down to the inflatible toilet to see if we can talk Porter and Davis into lowering the demands, becoming a cheesehead?

Guess we could always kidnap him. (*insert poop-stealing sequence from "The Salton Sea" here*)

Now - is that the attitude we need to build a winner?

WR Jerry Porter would be a coup for Ted Thompson. He isn't coming cheap though.

Brett Favre and Donald Driver and Jerry Porter = TD's !!

Brett Favre and Donald Driver and Jerry Porter = TD's !!

Stop it, Woodbuck !! You're making our mouths water !!

I am hoping that maybe Ted Thompson may get " just there " but I'm not optimistic. I won't HOLD my breath.

GO PACKERS ! HOLD THE FAITH in 2006 !!

[Partial]

I'd much rather have Charles Rodgers. Much higher upside, will come cheaper, and won't cost a draft pick. Also, bigger, faster, more athletic, and seems to be built better for M3s offense.
