You can add any player to this Packers team (whole term) Who you taking??

JJ Watt? He is done for the year on IR after tearing his chest muscle or something.

[call_me_ishmael]

Hard to believe the Texans might cut him lose but they do have an out after this year and he has ended the season on injured reserve, what, 3 seasons in a row now? Maybe 4? I'd love to bring him in.

Yeah, but he should be back next season without any lasting effect from the injury, and he shouldn't be over the hill yet age-wise.

[MadtownPacker]

He keeps getting hurt so it is appearing he has past his expiration date when it comes to durability.

That's my big concern. Great talent and guy, but not worth big money/mutli-year deal given his injury history.

He needs to change his doping cycle. Rand will be back next week and might have some suggestions.

I did say "if we can get him "for a fairly reasonable price" - which IMO might be possible.

I think the most glaring needs on the team now are ILB and WR.

Imagine how much tighter the defense would be if we had a Bobby Wagner in his prime?? Martinez needs to be moved off the roster next offseason.

On offense, it's obvious - we need another consistent playmaker opposite Adams.

For some reason I still don’t understand what a linebackers full job is. I can see a safety or corner having over the top coverage and I can tell if they fuck it up... but all that space inside, who’s responsible for what gap?? I just can ever tell who’s fault it is in there. I’ve been watching the gamepass clips where they bring in players and talk football so I’m getting better. But ILB is the toughest position for me to grade.

Im a believer in you get what you pay for in most cases. That’s the only reason you could get him at a reasonable price. Which is a waste of money no matter how cheap if he can’t play. 3 years in a row of being hurt is all I need to know. Spend big if you have but do it to win now because the window will close for a few years once Rodgers is done.

Nice idea for a bye week thread JH, I like it. Ok, excluding "in their prime" BS, the question was who would you roster right now if you could. Forget salary cap et al, just one guy. The instinct is Maholmes as "we have another 15 years of success. But Maholmes in no way assures us of an owl victory and for the next 4 years he certainly ISN'T the answer. I think you have to pick a name that helps us win one in the remaining years of Rodgers effectiveness.

Do we add a marquee TE like Kelce who fills a major hole and gives the offense more balance? Do we add a DL for a dominant front 7 like Donald? Do we add a MLB like Wagner who fills the D's biggest weakness?

I want to win an owl this year (and maybe a couple more) and to do so requires a major upgrade at TE. Anyone who bothers reading my windy posts knows that I need a TE who can block or else just line up Lazard and call him Jimmy Graham. Ladies and Gentlemen i present:

Rob Gronkowsi. Still just 29 years young and fresh off some rest I would put him on the roster right now and say it gives us a better 3-4 year window than any player in the NFL. Gronk is a road grader in the run game and a beast in the passing game. And just in case we rehire fat mike the man can even pass block. Balance is the key. Gronk single handedly keeps the D off balance and allows big runs, favorable down and distance and reliable 3rd down conversions as a receiver. I would take on the injury risk and roster him today if it were possible over any other player I can think of.

[MadtownPacker]

Not a bad call Bobble. Unlike Watts, Gronk has come thru for his team at playoff time in spite of injury. But he would laugh in Packers faces and tell them to go call Usian. He has a happy ending waiting for him in NE if he wants it.

Naturally none of these are ever going to happen. This was always mental masturbation.

Well shit then let’s get Urlacher (he chased down Vick in his prime!), Moss, Ladanian Tomlinson, and the Williams bros from MN.

Devin Bush would be nice

I have a hard time with what to do with Martinez; he's going to get some good $$$$

GB might not want to pay him that much, but given the jibberish they have at ILB they may have to

I think it’s something like the last 3 years have ended on IR

We’ve got good pass rushers, we got good CBS, we got good d-linemen, we have decent safeties. And our defense is still a near complete train wreck. One guy on defense isn’t gonna fix shit

Meanwhile, the current superstar at QR still has at least 10 years left in the tank.

I would take Mahomes

Pretty much like rashers back in his prime, you can win a lot of games just because he’s on the field
