But did he exaggerate his injury last year? Was he sitting just to make some weird point only he understands? If you bring him into camp will he mysteriously get hurt again making it difficult to cut him without it costing a mountain of money?

Sounds like we signed Mecole Hardman to a one year deal.
Not a ton of production but without Watkins and Nixon being a liability (like costing playoff games) in returns… why not.The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

His returning ability should enable him to replace Bo Melton. Nixon has said he doesn't want to return kicks anymore and Jayden Reed was nothing special on punt returns.I can't run no more

Hardman ran a 4.33 forty at the combine, and he ran a 4.22 in a match race against several other NFL players. With Watson out at least most of the season, we need that kind of speed. Good signing assuming he is still close to that fast.What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

He's Melton sized and likely will battle with him for a roster spot. He was a All Pro returner, so if Nixon digs in on not wanting to return kicks anymore they have that.
Mecole has talent and wheels, and he's 27. If they sign hi to a 1.25 or 1.5M deal with little/no bonus it's fine. They can cut him without a problem. He's a lottery ticket who provides some depth, and can do some of the gadget stuff.
It doesn't really move the needle a lot. Probably means they don't like the WRs in the draft or feel the top tier is elite and will bank on interior development and competition from within to improve. Would like to see them draft a WR though.

TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

Yeah I like him just fine, but watching those highlights, seems like they are all from the slot or close to the formation. Doesn't seem like they lined him up wide outside, which is probably what they want unless they are doing something else with Reed. Not saying Egbuka can't play outside, but i wonder if that's not where he's best. I think Gute picks a WR in Round 2-4, he'll be gone before they do.Originally posted by Bretsky View Post
Side note: I liked JSN a little better coming out than Egbuka, but I probably wouldn't be mad if they picked Egbuka.

Yeah, he had an eventful preseason with picks etc. so I think some were surprised by the cut.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostLB Kristian Welch is back with the Packers. He was with Packers in 2023. Packers had released him August 27, 2024.
He's the Eric Wilson replacement and gives Hopper competition. Doesn't preclude them from drafting or bringing in LBs but doesn't make it a need either. Bisaccia is probably happy.
