Anthony Smith traded to GB

[Fritz]

Oakland said the whole roster is open for a trade, anyone know if anybody beside the CB that I can't spell is worth a hill of beans?

Shane Lechler.

Now that would be a move I could get behind 100%. But what do you suppose you'd have to give up to get him? A third?

glad to see Harris should be practicing this week. I really need to give him credit - no one thought he was going to see the football field again but himself when he started his rehab,


Really cheearing for him to come back and be great just one more time.

Packers gave up a conditional 7th round pick for Smith, according to one source, so who gets cut? Or does Finley go to IR?

They haven't said yet since the deal hasn't been officially announced yet.

Gotta give credit to TT if he does this
Smith reportedly was a good leader who knew the D in and out
It's a positive step and trying to patch up a hole that will get exposed, sooner or later

I like the move. I think it helps the Packers. However, I can't help wondering why a Jax team in playoff contention would trade away a starting safety for next to nothing.

I like it if only that it's proof TT hasn't written the season off and is trying to improve the team. It also sends a message to the youngens on the team that they need to earn their keep.

Now that I can agree with. Keep the young guys hungry.

+1. It helps us in the intermediate passing game that is a soft spot ATM.

Good pick-up. At least TT brings back former Packer players.

I always got the sense that TT liked Smith. I believe the decision to cut him may have been one where Ted trusted the coaching staff and later regretted he did so. In a subtle way, I feel this move is him shaking the reins a bit.

MM just said in his PC that Anthony Smith will replace Finley on the roster.

[denverYooper]

Finley is going to IR to make room for Smith.

Beat to the punch by JMM .

Actually, it sounds like this was Ted's call. Reports are that Capers and Perry wanted to keep him. Ted chose to keep Aaron Rouse instead.

Ah, ok. I was misremembering, then.

When will Packers play in those blue jerseys this season? Might be highlight of the season

those jerseys are UGLY!! The highlights now will be watching the sparks of growth for the young guys. Bishop seemed to play pretty well too. And Tramon is still playing well.

LOL - I agree! Tramon is my hero for this season along the obvious Claymaker. Oh and Mike Neal if he can stay healthy. Bishop did ok today too.

...Still...when with those [ugly] blue jerseys?

BLUE JERSEYS! WHEN? Do I have to start a thread to get an answer?

I thought I heard they will be worn for the 49er game Dec. 5th.
