Once again, Campbell is the only Packer not practicing.

Elgton Jenkins and Jaire Alexander were the only two DNPs at practice today. LaFleur said Jenkins’ absence was more precautionary.

It's time to sell. Get a 1st round and a 2nd round pick for Jaire. Drake London made him look pedestrian. He's more talk than talent.

Yes and we should have dealt Rodgers after the MIA game some 13 years ago for a 4th round pick because he could barely complete half his throws and lose in overtime to Tony Sporano's Dolphins with Chad Henne at QB. Clearly a bust.

That's a pretty hot take to troll you've got there, or else just a knee jerk reaction to an injury report.
Seeing lots of funny comments out in teh interwebz about how GB comes off a bye looking even more injured.


If we're to even attempt to take the "Trade Jaire" idea seriously, you'd have to see if his contract would allow that (it won't, they'd need $19M of cap space just to trade or cut him this year), and then look at what you could get for him. If he's that pedestrian, why would anyone give up a R1 and a R2 pick for him?

Here's another thought: what if they trade Rashan instead of extending him? He's going to get money just south of TJ Watt, but he's basically a very very good designated pass rusher. He can't defend the run, so you're paying all world money for a passing down player. He's coming off an ACL and he's got about 4-5 years of prime left -- you could probably trade him to someone for an R1 and R2 (think a discount Khalil Mack trade) and start over. Use it for ammo to move up for a QB, or start over with another EDGE who is younger, cheaper and not injured. Just a thought. Not saying I totally like it or agree, but it is -- in the short term -- a more likely move than a Jaire trade.

When LaFleur was pressed on if Alexander and Jenkins were held out due to precautionary measures, he replied, “I believe so,” on Friday.

Injuries should be at the forefront of every decision on whether to extend or keep certain players at the end of this season. We’re in rebuild mode, no sense in keeping players whose contribution has been greatly impacted by injury, thinking there is always “next year”.

[bobblehead]

The types of injuries have to factor in. Injuries happen. Some players just don't take care of their bodies and are more prone. Its on management to understand the difference.

I have no interest in trading young up and coming stars. I want to trade aging stars. If you trade Jaire and/or Gary, you are giving away guys that are supposed to be part of the next Owl run.

We shouldn’t be trading anybody who is any good. This team still should be loaded enough with talent to cruise through the fairly easy schedule and go a long way in the playoffs.

Denver won’t be there.

There’s 5 of us who recall one of us big mouths exclaiming, “Denver won’t be there” during the 2015 Playoffs with Payton Manning and Von Miller AND Demarcus Ware. Broncos were the AFC’s #1 seed going into that playoff year.
And just before the playoffs start, at that very moment one of us big mouthed prognosticator says Denver won’t be there.
Well, Denver went straight to the Super Bowl and we all laughed Denver won’t be there.

So fer sure this weekend, it’s Denver won’t be there.

[bobblehead]

Bretsky, you did much better than me. I was so dumbfounded I was speechless. I still have nothing.

*This is one time I would be very happy to eat crow, much like the Rashaan Gary pick. Sometimes its good to be wrong.

[call_me_ishmael]

Why in the world would they trade Gary who is a freak athlete that clearly works extremely hard? That’s really something.

I think the rumor mill is Alexander, I just said Gary as an example of who a team should never trade. Guys like Preston will age out before they can help win an Owl, but young guys going into their second contract have to be retained.
