Packers Looking to Add a D-Lineman?

He was a one man screen pass defense. Talk about having your head on a swivel, his whole torso was. I miss his weird skill set. I hope he decides to get paid again instead of consuming the drank.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Its not luck -- prepared mind meets opportunity.Originally posted by Harlan Huckleby View PostHoward Green was a very lucky break, he got cut for being fat late in the season. Hard to find linemen anytime, let alone in the middle of the season.
Nice recall with Grady Jackson. There must be other "overweight" d-linemen on the verge of getting cut.
What about Harrell?

rbaloha1, every GM is well aware of the marginal players on every other roster. It is 100% luck when a player at a need position suddenly becomes available.
The Packers would be very lucky to find a player better than CJ Wilson from another team's scrap heap. Wilson is OK, but the packers rarely trust him to play.

Why did 20+ teams pass on Green? Were the Packers the only team in-need of a d-lineman?Originally posted by Harlan Huckleby View Postrbaloha1, every GM is well aware of the marginal players on every other roster. It is 100% luck when a player at a need position suddenly becomes available.

veterans don't have to clear waivers.
Packers desperately needed D-lineman, I'm sure they made a very competitive offer, and Packers were a great opportunity for Green to showcase his talents.
Green fell into Packers lap. Same deal with Jackson, another talented guy cut for discipline/weight problems.
It's possible that I owe TT some credit on this, can't say for sure that my perception is right.

I assume it's still 4 years to be a veteran. - even in the new deal?

We were just looking to add a DL to the PS, since the Jags signing West to their roster opened up a spot and we've wanted to have a PS 5-tech with some upside to develop for the past three seasons (It's why we drafted Wynn, Wilson, and Guy, none of whom are currently eligible for the PS.)</delurk>

It's great. But quite frankly, most of the people that are commenting on it don't know anything about what they are talking about."--Ted Thompson

Asante is no fan of zone coverage from what I have read. It would perhaps be difficult to have two freelancers like he and Wood in the backfield.Originally posted by Brando19 View PostDamn it, Ted....trade a TE for a D lineman!! Did anyone see that Asante Samuel is still unhappy in Philly? I'd love to see TT trade a 2nd round pick for that guy. Then moving Woodson to Safety wouldn't sound so bad.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

Mahalo pb. The previous posts did not pass the common sense test.Originally posted by pbmax View Post
Unsure why board members still negate TT's personnel and drafting moves given the fact TT rescued the Packers from Sherman's ineptness, won a super bowl and positioned the team for multiple super bowl appearances.
Expect TT to find waiver/street players to fit the scheme.
