Lyerla is already dividing the locker room.

Doesn't seem like the type of person the Packers keep around. Then again, neither does the guy they had previously what with his running his mouth to the media causing drama and allegations of 10+ children with different women.

Mike Sherman?

Well 1700+ Engineers and Architects support a real independent 9/11 investigation so I'm just going to leave it at that.

Impressive. 1,700+ Engineers and Architects support an independent 9/11 investigation.

The other 1,850,000+ Engineers and Architects do not.

Compelling evidence of a conspiracy no doubt.

I actually don't think he's gonna go postal while he's in GB. I think he's talented and worth a rookie camp invite. Maybe he's turned it around, maybe he hasn't...they'll find out when he's in the heat of competition and has to take some coaching. I always got the impression that he was attached to Chip Kelly and when he left and the new HC came in he didn't bond so well...probably didn't like the way he was being used in the offense or maybe he was with a bad crowd filling his head with stupid ideas.

As for what this says about the TE position, I think drafting R.Rodgers is more telling that Finley isn't coming back than bringing Lyerla in. They bring UDFA TE into rookie camp all the time (2, counting Lyerla) so I don't know if I'd read more than that into. They have a couple of guys I can't remember besides RRodgers, Bostick, Quarless Taylor and Stoneburner, and I don't know these unknowns are going to take a roster spot.

Everybody's all excited because the draft just ended and rookies are showing up. The season needs to start so we can worry about the defense instead of rookie camp invitees.

We should know pretty soon if the Packers think he is really worth the risk. Tomorrow or Monday he will either have a UDFA contract or just a plane ticket out.

Not at all. But dumb players with drug issues who leave the team for unexplained reasons after making a public spectacle of themselves don't tend to last very long.

yea, you just went from Carl Everett to Ron Artest...and added in drug use.

Exactly.

I wouldn't put past drug use past Artest, but he really did seem to turn himself around eventually. Before that though, there was the matter of his rather long suspension.

I am pbmax and I support this message. Colt Lysterine is a distraction from the issues that truly matter in Packer Nation. Who the hell is our backup nose tackle?

#Packers sleeping on the decision. Barring a bad night sleep, it appears they will sign Lyerla, according to source.

And you know this how?

And you know this how?

I'm guessing it was just joking banter, unless pbmax or Brandon494 say otherwise.

Lyerla is a low risk signing. He'll likely get a few thousand dollars as a signing bonus, and a bare bones contract to go with it.

The first time he crosses the line, the team sends him packing. Who cares if he takes up 1 of 90 roster spots?
