Pure Speculation 3

oNE MORE THING THAT WAS MENTIONED WAS THAT HE THOUGHT OR HAS HEARD THAT THE pACKERS MAY GO AFTER Cato June and I think that would be crazy. June wouldn't be a good fit at the strong side and I don't see them moving Hawk over there.

I'd like to see an upgrade for Poppinga.

Re: Pure Speculation 3

The Packers are putting some numbers together in regards to the potential signing of Thomas. Adalius Thomas could get 4 years for $22 mil with the bulk of that being up front . The team is no longer in the Moss market. 4 WR's that they like that could be around are Bowe,Meachem,Jarrett and Ginn. The team is reportedly close to extending Nick Barnett and they will also be making a run at Danial Graham at the TE position. The team also has interest in Deon Grant to replace Manual.

Please, there is no way that the Packers are no longer interested in Moss after a week of not negotiating with the Raiders. It's very common amongst GM's and particularly TT to act uninterested if they think the asking price is to high. If Al Davis wanted a first for Moss I would act uninterested as well. I think all that TT's is doing is playing his risk cards and hoping another team doesn't make a move on him, if that happens the asking price will go down again.

I have to agree with you on this. I don't think that the Packers are out of the race just because the negotiations have faltered for a little bit. I for one hope they are still number one in negotiations with the Raiders for Moss. Not only would this delete a draft need for the Packers but it will add an immediate play maker for Favre.

welcome to Packerrats ! Anybody with that name must love the draft so you'll be adored by many of us in here. We have our share of draft fanatics, with myself being one.

Cheers,

You can count me in as a draft fanatic, I look forward to sharing ideas with you.

I can't see June. Actually, I think Thompson will hold tight at LB, but I'm not sold on Brady Pop just yet either.

I personally never thought they were "in the race" for Moss to begin with. But it does make for interesting conversation.

I think starting next week we will start seeing rumors fly like crazy as March 2nd approaches. It will give us a temporary fix for the football news we crave. Then it will be slow until the draft approaches.
