Larry Johnson deal still alive?

[Brando19]

From Packerreport.com: Late last week, PackerReport.com broke the news that the Packers had shown interest in trading for superstar Kansas City Chiefs running back Larry Johnson. No deal was made Saturday, but one player the Chiefs were hoping would be available in the first round was Justin Harrell, the defensive tackle the Packers selected.

So, how about this: Harrell and running back Brandon Jackson for Johnson and maybe a late-round pick?

Just a thought.

Either way, general manager Ted Thompson has kept the Packers well under the salary cap this off-season by staying on the sideline during the NFL's high-stakes, big-money free-agent period. Was he saving all of that cap space so he could make a big splash? Perhaps we'll learn that answer soon.

I am so not going there right now after the Moss debacle.

You too???? If I only hand a nickel for every sure thing rumor floated my way.


Anybody who gets too worked up over trade rumors has nobody to blame but themselves.

I know...I'm exhausted after this Moss crap.

This is what I want to do when I'd think whether the Snapper would outbid another team with draft picks for a veteran

LJ is a good back. Or was a good back. He might still have something left in him, but I'm thinking closer to Eddie George than Emmit Smith at the end of his career.

We'd be paying a huge price for a guy who might be good for only a few years left.

Im sold!!
What else is the $$$ gonna be used for anyways? LJ, Morency and the rookie would be a nice setup.

But it aint gonna happen.

guy is 28 and wants a boatload of money---not a good deal for us. The anme of the game is staying hungry and TT is doing that by constantly bringing in young talent to push people. The Sherman atmosphere is gone and I like it!

Once you accept that this team is likely to suck in 2007, your outlook will improve.

It's done wonders for me.

2008 baby. It's just around the corner!

And so is 2009....2010.....etc.

I understand building a championship defense but tearing apart a top offense in the process? Is TT modeling us after the Bears? He does know the Bears got their asses handed to them in the Super Bowl right?

He didn't do so good with his mock draft or his Packer predictions. He was 0/10 for the top 10 picks, fanned on the Pack pick (well, almost everyone did too) and thought Moss deal would happen for us.

So basically he is just a poster like everyone else?

Well actually, majority of the Rats got a few top 10 picks right.
