Very glad they got Clark, Gilbert, D Brown (who came on during camp) and Whitehead. They lost Hill and the other OL who showed promise (Geoff Gray?).

Other thing would seem to be that they expect Adams to be able to practice soon. Unless they are genuinely unsure about his recovery timetable.

Nice, Clark signed to PS

He is an intriguing prospect for sure.

I think Pankey has some potential as a G/T swing guy. Played LT and LG at Barclay's alma mater West Virginia.

Reports Dupre won't be returning either...that's surprising

When he finds out nobody else wants him, he'll be back.

McCaffrey signed to Saints PS.

Something we might see someday: Taysom Hill pass to Max McCaffrey. #Saints claimed Hill on waivers and signed McCaffrey to PS #Packers

Makes me wonder if the Saints' scouting staff trolls the Pack. Callahan last year, then Hill and McCaffrey.

By the way, where's Herb Waters? IR?

He went on IR. He might get an injury settlement but I haven't read that.

Well, I would have liked to see Hill, Dupre, and Gray on the PS, but I'm not going to start frothing at the mouth. We're talking about guys that aren't ready for the NFL, or are marginal talents. The former tend to not end up becoming NFL superstars. Sometimes PS guys can become solid contributors, but - say with Hill, for example - what are the odds he becomes an NFL starter? And if he does, what are the odds he becomes more than a marginal starter?

Again, I wish the Pack had him, but I'm not going to panic about any of this. "Tis the season of hope!

[Brandon494]

Think people forget Hill is a 27 year old rookie also...if he was 22 he would have made the roster.

HILL would have been nice to keep; if you believe Rich Gannon, perhaps one of the greatest Packer homers, you'd think we are going to get a high draft pick for Hundley sometime soon so it would have been nice to have Hill as a backup in waiting.

If I was Duprey I might look for a team with lesser WR's.

I'm not convinced the demand for Hundley will be as great as the Packers are hoping. There are probably 5 QB's good enough to go in the 1st round of the NFL Draft, plus the Bears will probably be releasing Glennon, who has actually played pretty well as a starter for some bad Tampa Bay teams.

Unfortunately I"d agree with you. I don't think we're getting a high draft pick for him.

Maybe a fourth..probably five to seven

If we could get a top 3 round pick I think we'd have already traded him. He just might play through his full contract with GB because having a good backup is more important than getting a low round pick.

rn Packers at best get a conditional 7 for Hundley. Really, he looked marginal in the preseason - for a starter that is. For a guy who has to take a few snaps at the end of a blowout of Seattle, we can handle the odd INT and the inaccuracy.
