Colt Lyerla in Packer Rookie Orientation

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Sign him. Jimmy Graham 2.0.

In the contract put that he must sleep at the stadium until February.

And you know this how?

I believe the locker room in Brandon's post referred to Packerrats members. Please pass the Lysol. I don't want to catch anything in here.

Madtown bleached the place after The Skinbasket left. I can still smell the stench.

Because I smoked pot with him....it was me, Johnny Hopkins and Colt Lyerla and they were blazing that shit up everyday.

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?

again

the one problem i have with bringing the guy in, and it has nothing to do with money. i see some folks saying"well we aren't paying him anything so there's no loss if he acts up and we have to cut him".

the problem i have is that if/when he goes full on aaron hernandez, it will most likely be in the city of green bay, and the headlines around the country will read "green bay packer colt lyerla has (insert hi-anus crime/act)"

never heard of him but...THIS! can't hurt a thing.


i understand red's concerns though. is this dude a threat to others or just himself? if it's just himself, drugs or whatever, than so be it. if he's a threat to others than stay away.

[bobblehead]

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 don't think Artest ever used drugs. He was an absolute flake, but he did respect his body. Ron was an extremely intelligent dude who never had any upbringing or concept of acceptable behavior. He turned it around eventually because he is such a sharp guy.

[gbgary]

read up on the guy. seems pretty dicey. if we sign him i think he'll be gone the first time time veers off course.

[Brandon494]

Colt Lyerla reminds me more of Josh Hamilton then he does Ron Artest. I honestly believed he was coked up while he wrote those things on twitter.

so if thats the case,he was still using coke after he got arrested for it

in other words,he didn't learn from a pretty big wake up call

so why would anyone think he could or would clean up

[Brandon494]

Maybe he had not seeked help yet, I don't know. I think its worth the risk to let him try out, he might fail a drug test but hes not the type to go full Hernandez.
