Reports say Packers interested in receiver

[LEWCWA]

I don't know if any of you have a clue about Keyshawn. The guy is a football player. He is not selfish, he is one of the best blocking wr in the game and knows the game of football. He would be a great asset to this thing. Why do you think Parcells loved him so much? His only drawback is his mouth. He says things that are true, but your not supposed to do that when your an athlete. He calls it like he sees it.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Sorry, but Keyshawn does nothing for me. I've seen enough of him to know that he's just a big possession receiver at this point. Sure, he makes some nice grabs and blocks. However, he probably has one year left. We have enough young WRs that I'd like to see a young guy take up that roster spot.

[OS PA]

So we'd be sitting pretty at

#1 - Driver
#2 - Jennings
#3 - Keyshawn
----- Insert Koren Robinson here, and bump the others down.
#4 - Fergie
#5 - Clowney
#6 - Jones
#7 - Holiday
#8 - Martin

Looking at our recievers we'd have to keep six with the draft picks invested.

Practice Squad Eligible (Correct me if i'm wrong here)
Clowney, Jones, Holiday

I only think TT would be willing to place Holiday on the practice squad, maybe Jones for a few games. This would leave either Martin or Fergie to be cut.

So our opening day roster would look like this

Driver, Jennings, Keyshawn, Ferguson, Clowney, Jones

and our mideseason roster would look like this

Driver, Jennings, Keyshawn, Robinson, Ferguson, Clowney (Jones could be a 7th reciever on the roster, but might be able to be hidden on the practice squad if he isn't lighting up the spotlights. )

This leads me to my question - Do we have the classic case of quanitity over quality? Or do we have the rare mix of quality and quantity?

Personally i'd love to bring in Keyshawn, because having a big name reciever to go along with Driver, Jennings, and eventually Robinson will make our offense even more potent.

[HarveyWallbangers]

You're VERY unlikely to stash a 3rd round pick on the PS. Clowney would be unlikely too--if he shows anything in the preseason. Any team at any time can sign a member of your practice squad to their roster.

If Keyshawn were to be signed, at least 4 of the following 5 would likely be cut: Ferguson, Robinson, Holliday, Bodiford, and Martin. Possibly, all 5 if the Packers decide to keep 5 WRs like they normally do (Sherman and his 4 WRs, notwithstanding).

Keyshawn in all probability wants to go to a Super Bowl contender to make that extra push. Whether there is interest from a team like that we'll have to wait and see.

I do not want Keyshawn. We're not winning the Super Bowl this year, barring a miracle. Why sacrifice the future for an aging WR who won't be a mainstay on this team. Clowney or Jones would not last on the practice squad, based on potential alone. If they showed anything during the pre-season they wouldn't last a day. I'd want to see.....

1. Driver
2. Jennings
3. Jones
4. Clowney
5. Martin

3 of those guys, Jones, Clowney and Martin, could have a serious shot of being last year's Jennings. I really like Jones and think he could have the solid hands that we need. Koren is up in the air and it's too hard to predict what is going to happen with him.

Watched NFL Live last night. On it, they reported there are several teams interested in MEshawn.

Green Bay, Oakland and the Giants were listed.

We'll see if this turns out like the Moss rumors.

I'd think he'd want to go to a winning team if he has a chance

Plan

It's stupid for Teddy to even contemplate this move. Johnson is washed up and the plan is to let the young guys develope, so why change directions? Being inconsistent in this case will only hurt more than help.

[the_idle_threat]

I kind of agree with Packnut. Figured I should say so since it likely won't happen again anytime soon. :P :P :P

Johnson a red sone target?????????????????? I pretty sure this is the guy who has had those one touchdown seasons. I agree with Harv. I would rather like to see what James Jones or Clowney can do before Johnson.

He had 16 TD in the last three years and 70 catchs for over 700 yds each og the last three seasons which is better than our #2 has had since it was Driver and before that Billy Schroeder, so considering he has been playing #3 that was a slightly stupid statement. No worry though you will get your wish the gay turtle won't sign him he's to old for his liking.

In 2004 our #2 had much more than that. In 2005, our #2 got hurt. In 2006, our #2 was well on his way to eclipsing those numbers, but got injured. Plus, since when has Keyshawn been the #3? He was the #2 in Dallas in 2004 and 2005. He was the #2 in Carolina last year.

If other teams are interested in KJ, then he really doesn't stand much of a chance of landing in GB. TT will never compete for a FA.

Besides, even though KJ would help GB's pathetic red zone offense, he isn't a difference maker, and given that the team has exactly zero chance of going anywhere - why would KJ, want to come to GB anyway???

Now, if KJ were to petition the league to allow him to enter next years draft...???

Wasnt he with Tampa when they won the SB in 2002?

Yes, he was with Tampa in 2002 and got a Super Bowl ring with them, and was deactivated and released in 2003.

[MadtownPacker]

Well Keyshawn should consider his career a good one. If I played in the NFL and was a contributing player on a SuperBowl team I would feel I accomplished my mission regardless of how long I played. Favre has said many times he doesnt have anything left to prove and that is true. Its all gravy after getting that ring.
