PREDICT THE TRADE(S)

[woodbuck27]

I don't believe it will go down but getting Jerry Porter can't be a bad thing.

I don't want to see the pressure put on DD that we saw last year no matter how much heart/toughness Donald has.

I would be estatic to see Favre tossing to Porter and Driver.

Do we want to give up draft pick, cap money, and/or a player for a receiver that may not beat out Jennings and would likely whine is he was 3rd WR.

All things that Ted Thompson will weigh in considering any proposition to acquire Jerry Porter. I'm going to a site to see if there are anymore rumblings on this WR's malcontent.

I know that the Packers have made inquires into possibly acquiring Denver's WR Ashley Lelie, but not sure what T2 stands on regarding JP as he wouldn't comment when asked I believe last week, or late the week before.

We have to trust T2.

GO PACKERS !

Porter
2000 - (rookie season ) - 1 rec 6 yards
2001 - 19 rec 220 yards
2002 - 51 rec 688 yards
2003- 28 rec 361 (played 10 games)
2004- 64 rec 998
2005- 76 rec 942
Carrer - 239 rec 3215 yards

Porter is clearly better, and he does not have a qb called Favre throwing to him,,,,,

No, but he did have a qb called Gannon throwing to him in an offense that was rolling up 4000 passing yards a year. Gannon was a Pro-Bowl qb in 2000, 2001 and 2002, was Pro-Bowl MVP two of those years and was the NFL MVP for the 2002 season.

After Gannon was hurt, Kerry Collins took over. Porter has not suffered because of the quality of the QB or the passing offense he was in.

I voted for Fergy getting traded but I really dont think TT will trade anyone away unless there is some injury to anouther key player.

I would be very dissapointed if Barrnet were traded. He was very good last year and will be better this year. I hope all the trouble he has had with his Night Club gets cleared up, he has a great season and gets new contract thats good for him and the Packers. Hodge is looking great but still he is a rookie and from what I have been reading he needs to work on pass coverage. Right now he is a great backup at MLB for Barrnet.

** " I don't know if you guys caught this last night during the game, but the sideline reporter said the raiders were shopping porter for a 1st round pick and 8 mil. to cover the salary cap hit we would take from his signing bonus. "

** " They also said that a stipulation of any trade would be for Porter to give back a portion (if not all) of his signing bonus. They have given his agent permission to seek a trade (code for 'negotiate a new contract with the team of his choosing'). Look at the teams that are weak at WR. The Eagles, Ravens, Bills, Patriots all could use a #1 WR. They all have defensive players that could help us. Although most trades in today's NFL involve draft picks."

Note: As I posted earlier. The Eagles were adament in not desiring Jerry Porter.

“I’m furious,” Porter said.

“They might as well trade me. I wanted Mike Martz as my coach and a real offense that’s proven in today’s NFL. Not something dusted off from a bed and breakfast in God knows where.”
