Wilde on KRob

[b bulldog]

Jason Wilde, who was on The Homer show, said that he thought the chances of the Packers signing Robinson were pretty high. He thought it may get done after the first game(not committed to a full year salary wise than) and that even with his issues off of the field, the team should be able to expect a years worth of services out of Robinson before his suspension would kick in. (lEONARD lITTLE)

Awesome...any immediate improvement on the field is surely welcome by me.

Well, his probation violation hearing is in October I thought which means he may be going back to jail. He has a one year suspended sentance from that incident and the new one is WAY worse. Then the papers will say packer player goes to prison. I can't for the life of me understand why someone would sign him this year. The dudes facing a felony, I would think his primary concern is staying out of jail, not collecting a couple more checks before NFL suspends him for a year and the Washington courts incarcerate him.....we haven't even begun to discuss his Minnesota legal toubles which include the afformentioned felony. I don't get it.

yeah, as long as the signing bonus is low, it'd be a great signing.

i hope they pull it off.

I would it would be zero bonus banana....yea, it would be a real great signing....aye yi yi....

No bonus, league minimum

[BananaMan]

Rastak,

i know he's had lots of incidents off the field. that aside, he's a good guy.

any help we can get this season is well worth it. he's a talent, you know that. if he hadn't got into trouble, you'd be raving about him as your number 1 WR.

make the contract low and make him prove himself all over again. that'd be best for both sides.

The young man needs to be in an intensive rehab center to deal with his disease. I am not sure if playing pro football should be part of his daily life in trying to consistently reach and maintain sobriety.

OPF

[BallHawk]

Where would he fit as a wide receiver, though? #3, #4?

[b bulldog]

I agree, he needs to worry about his addiction first and foremost, not playing ball.

He's a great guy.....but you might want to re-read what I wrote. He has a parole violation, a 1 year NFL suspension and a felony over his head right now. The hammer is going to come down sooner rather than later.
Why would you want him in Green and Gold when that happens.

Look, it seems to me he ought to get this behind him, get sober and then he can sign with Green Bay or the Bengals maybe. But it's his life, and I'm sure he'll make the right choices....LOL....NOT.
Is this the role model for the kids of Wisconsin?

But it could be said that sitting around with nothing to do and thinking about it will not help his situation either. You need to deal with it, but when you're not actively counseling for the situation, you also need something to keep your mind occupied. Yes, there is a pretty good possibility he's gonna have to do some time, so any football he does will have to be a temp job. The main thing he has to figure out is how to NOT get behind the wheel after he's been drinking. Is there a policy in place for the drinking itself or is it just if they break the law as a result of the drinking? What is the substance abuse policy for a substance that's technically legal?

I'm not sure but he most likely needed to stay sober for his probation. Not sure on the NFL side......I'd be more worried about the Washington court system than the NFL right now if I were him.

Holmgren can't straighten him out, getting a fresh start in Minn. didn't straighten him out.

Ya RIIIIGHT, living in GB (AKA "a dry city") is going to work.

Why even touch this guy?! Excuse me, (Bang) while I (Bang) hit my head (Bang) against the wall.

[gbpackfan]

I wonder if his probabtion hearing will actually occur on Oct. 1.
