Packers pursuing Ross Verba, asked in for visit

[KYPack]

Great fabric there, Motife.

I knew the boy was out of football last year (Unlike the all-knowing Tank).

Even Houston (that no guards) wouldn't touch the guy.

I didn't know about his wild-ass lifestyle, though. This is one party animal. He's jamming like a Rock Star.

It didn't surprise me when he wasn't signed or approached by us last year. There was some bad blood from Verb's previous time here.

Maybe he can be hired as a consultant for a couple team parties.

WTF? You guys are telling me Verba was available ALL of last year, and despite the Packers OL woe, Thompson did not even make a run at this guy?

Are you telling me you went through ALL of last season without knowing this?

I heard Verba was released. I thought he was signed by another team.

Talk about shitty GM.

Nor did any of the other 31 GMs. What does that tell you???

None of the other 31 gms had Klemm and Whitticker starting on their teams.

That's actually a very good point.

Maybe, but Houston had two guys named Weary and Brown starting. I think they could've used him.

After finding out what he was up to, I think he just didn't make himself available. 31 GMs may have all tried to reach him, but Paris was answering the phone in Vegas, and didn't give him the message.
He had money to blow, and girls to blow it on. He wasn't strapping on the pads for any reason.

What happened to 'high character' and 'packer people'? Not saying the guy t has to sing in the church choir, but this guy sounds like he's way off the deep end.

After reading this thread in its entirety, this was what kept popping into my mind. Think what impact this guy would have on our hero Samkon. Maybe Samkon could straighten him out.

I hope TT knows what he's doing and signs him to an easy-to-get-out-of deal.

What speaks for him he would add veteran leadership to the inside of the O-line, something we dearly lack. It would also give our rooks development time. It also sounds like he could open some seams that Green didn't have early in the season.

But the biggest bonus is Brett might not get as hurried as he was last year.

One thing everybody seems to be missing here: the dude was drafted in 97, so he's got eight seasons under his belt - and he sat out of football last year. It doesn't sound like he was working the weight room and eating salads, either. Does anybody seriously think this guy can come back and be an effective football player at a position he's dismissive of?

Having said that, I wonder if my wife would be cool with me heading to Vegas and seeing if I can get in on one of those hot tub parties. If David Spade can hook up withe Heather Locklear, then anything is possible.
