Steal would imply he had some value. We'll see how he does in the Brown's system, or will he be another Tori Gurley who has been signed to several practice squads with no results.

Peculiar move by the Browns, putting a guy on their 53 man roster who really has not yet shown anything. He sat out most of camp, and did nothing the final two games he was available for. On what evidence did they make their decision that he is NFL ready?

[Pugger]

Their WR corps must not be so hot.

I mentioned this elsewhere but they also bypassed Gurley (also on their PS) to add Johnson. Must be looking for a specific skill set.

Browns play GB in a few weeks...wouldn't surprise me if they simply picked the kid up for info. It isn't like anyone they are grabbing off a practice squad anywhere is going to be a big help to them...even with their questionable offensive talent.

I doubt it. That seems like a pretty drastic move to win an inter-conference game.

His size and speed, I think, was their evidence.

Maybe we can get him back for a 7th.

Horrible timing, hopefully Jones and Cobb won't be out for too long.

Geez, this was bad timing considering the injuries at WR now. Miles White, come on down! Maybe we can get that Tyrone Walker back. He had been picked up by Seattle for their practice squad, but got realeased. He and White are kind of the same guy, but White may be a bit faster. Perhaps they will sign White and bring Walker back as a member of the practice squad.

OK, long shot would be for the Packers to sign an established vet, given TT's MO but here is the list (scroll a little) http://walterfootball.com/freeagents2013WR.php

Driver said he'd come back and I'm sure he's in great shape. I wonder if they'd consider it. It's not like they'd need him to be the old Driver, just serviceable, and the leadership would be nice.

Let the Myles White era...begin!

[KalamazooPackerFan]

Hey, Ruvell Martin's on the list. Time to bring back an old favorite?

[mraynrand]

The problem is trying to carry all the injured guys and needing to bring in guys to fill the roster at the same time. Worried that the Packers lose some guys they have to release to make temporary roster space.

i don't know if it was stealing. we went into todays game with just 4 wr's didn't we? if we really wanted the guy, we would have moved him up to the first time at some point over the last few weeks

we desperately need someone from somewhere now for at least the next week or so
