Former Packers still pursuing the dream

[Bretsky]

Yeah, no use in trying to do any real assessment of whether that defensive line is gelling at all, or if Quarless really is taking up the slack at TE or if Richard Rodgers is nothing but a training camp flash, or taking a close look at how the defense changes when it's Hayard versus House as the extra back.

No sense in any of that.

Quarless is not even in camp; he's excused for a family emergency....not sure what it means but I don't think it has anything to do with him or his idiocracy

[Bretsky]

I'm more surprised Jolly hasn't gotten a call or even a sniff from anyone.

I am having a terribly hard time reading anything in your print with that hot pic !!!

So NE, KC and now the Lions for him. Packers didn't get the conditional pick for trading him either, I assume.

Allen Barbre is apparently starting at Guard for the Eagles.

I think they do need some depth, but I wonder if there's not a little of that hometown-boy-gets-a-favor going on. Maybe they're hoping that being back home will somehow help the guy.

Here's one for you. If the Packers had a crystal ball on draft day to see Worthy's future and Russell Wilson's future, they could have selected Wilson instead, and perhaps in the course of playing him in the pre-season 2012, 2013, or during the 2013 stretch when Rodgers was hurt, Wilson could have built up enough interest to have trade partners lined up and the Pack could have parlayed him into draft picks. I know it's ridiculous to think they would have spent that pick on Wilson, but it's interesting to think about what might have been.

Be careful Carolina, some Packer fans, who spent too much time envisioning alternate scenarios about the Mandarich draft, still haven't returned to present day.

Flynn cut by the Patriots. He's a Packer to the heart, can only play in GB, and was on the NFI because he had a hamstring.

From what I have been hearing this has been coming for a few days close to a week, and was no surprise. They also will likely bring him back when the hammy is healed, they just wanted an able body in camp to do some throwing.

DJ Williams signs with the Redskins. Probably to play QB.

Actually, the Indigenous Americans would love to have the Packers TE situation. They've had 2 TE's get hurt and their starter missed 12 games last year.

I'm still not over drafting Rich Campbell over Ronnie Lott in 1981. The Packers were so bad at drafting then.

Flynn to the Jets - if he gets healthy, he could end up starting there! Not like he's behind an entrenched started or anything.

Forgot to grab the link, but I think Jarius Wynn was placed on an injured list with the Bills.

Yep, injured reserve. http://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bill...arius_wyn.html
