Packers show interest in Griffith, Grant, and officially release Henderson

Adam Schefter reports today that LB Donnie Edwards is weighing offers from the Packers, Eagles, and Chiefs. He indicated that it most likely is a 2 year deal, and that it appears to be down to those 3 teams

Stay away from Edwards

i'd rather take a risk on Lavar ... Bring him in for a knee check... Also a brain check while were at it...

Stay away from Edwards

Upgrade over Poppinga if he can function there

[b bulldog]

I think Brady has a future and I like his spped and aggressiveness. Isn't Edwards close to retirement? He has to be in his mid thirties.

donnie edwards is the best coverage LB on the chargers team. he'd be an upgrade over poppinga i think if he can pick up the scheme.

Edwards has been a hell of a player, but in a different scheme. He's getting up there in age. I wonder if Mike McCarthy's close friend, Marty Schottenheimer, has anything to do with the interest. I'm not sure what to think about Edwards. Always felt like he might not be a good fit.

Justin Griffith and Deon Grant would be nice.

CAN WE HAVE ALL THREE ???

I'll be really disappointed if we don't get Griffith. I htink he's a perfect fit here. Other than that I want to lock Barnett up long term.

His SPEED? are you serious? We must not watch the same Brady Poopinga, cause the guy is the slowest player on the field. His speed, is why I want an upgrade at that position. when Desmond "2 left feet" clark is running past Poop....we're in trouble.

[b bulldog]

Speed isn't the only thing that gets separation, ever heard of Jerry Rice?

[HarveyWallbangers]

While I don't think Brady is slow, I definitely don't see him having more than average speed for a LB. I think some people see what they want to see when it comes to Brady Pop. He got better as the year went on. Maybe he'll even be solid starter some day. However, that position can definitely be upgraded. I'm a little worried that Poppinga was old when he left college and is already in his "peak" years.

[ND72]

You're talking about a WR, not a LB who depends on speed and quickness. WR's can do lots of things to dictate how they do. Poop isn't the answer. He's short term.

[b bulldog]

His instincts are questionable at best but he doesn't lack speed. I think he ran in the 4.68ish?? out of college, but he gets too aggressive and doesn't show great instinct but last season was basicly his rookie season so he should at least be an average strong side backer. Edwards is a weak or middle backer anyways. Wayne Simmons wasn't fast, he was just an SOB who played mean.
