Packers FA watch

Q had one nice catch but was invisible at times.

That could be the new Packer conditioning test for workouts. You run some sprints and Mike Holmgren swings a bat at your ribs ala his Levens holdout comments.

Then the football part of the workout proceeds.

If this turns out to being even close to true, Packers are in line for a fine....

The NFL's policy on injury reports states that players with "significant or noteworthy injuries must be listed on the report, even if the player takes all the reps in practice." The rule covers players the team is certain will play in upcoming games.

My first thought wasn't that the Packers hid it but that James Jones hid it from the Packers. Does anything say where the information stopped, or is there absolutely no way the Packers didn't know?

JJ wouldn't count as a mid range FA wideout who gets 880 yards and 8 TD's. You have to bring in some other teams FA wideout who doesn't know the system and hasn't worked with ARod for 6 years for it to count as a FA signing.

Tramon thinks they need more veterans, sounds like he wants them to slow down roster churn: http://espn.go.com/blog/green-bay-pa...-more-veterans

Wasn't Charles Woodson echoing some of the same thoughts in his latter yrs with GB ?? If I were a CB it'd be hard to trust the guys behind me after this yr and I'd want help there too

TT signs 8 free agents!!!

The Green Bay Packers have signed T Aaron Adams, CB Antonio Dennard, C Garth Gerhart, WR Alex Gillett, RB Orwin Smith, LB Chase Thomas, G Andrew Tiller and T Jeremy Vujnovich. The transactions were announced Tuesday by Executive Vice President, General Manager and Director of Football Operations Ted Thompson.

Most were on their practice squad.

Yes, but I would believe Charles more if he wasn't the one with the communication problem in his Packer tenure. Sometimes communication problems are really players free-lancing.

Eventually, everyone stopped except Charles and they were OK.

[smuggler]

It usually worked, though. Still miss Chuck doing his thing...

Shields is the only guy I'm concerned about. Raji is an amazing talent, but wasted on our D. Can't help it, that's the job they're asked to do. Eat blocks for the shitty linebackers behind them. You can't pay a guy big time money when he gets 17 tackles and no sacks in a year.

BJ Raji's decline this season has been dramatic.

He's had as you noted zero SACKS compared to three SACKS in 2010 or his best season and his tackle production has gone from 39 to 17 or a 229% decline.

I cannot see much that that inspired Ted Thompson to offer bj ... $8 M$ / year. Thank goodness he rejected that offer. Good luck to him and getting more. The 'only' place that might come from is Ted Thompson. Ohh Boy !

I key on him in games and review his performance in recorded games and he's looked bad. It's surprizing to me just how little he contributes. I really don't understand it. I'm just since last night reviewing the defenses performance in week 17 da Bears. Later I'll get to the 49ers @ Packers Jan. 05, 2014. Watching and analyzing that again and so close to last Sunday is going to take strength.

I'll be keying on BJ Raji, Datone Jones, Mike Daniels, Brad Jones, Nick Perry, M.D. Jennings, Morgan Burnett, Davon House, Chris Banjo, Jamarri Lattimore and Andy Mulumba.

PACKERS !
