CHRIS CHAMBERS AVAILABLE!!! and other WRs.

[Patler]

Acquiring Chambers would take Stones; not in TT world this year IMO

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing him get Chambers if he is released, or available fairly cheap. But who gets released then, Martin or Holiday? Or do you keep both with only two QBs on the 53 man roster?

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

If were talking 5th round picks and lower then I think it is well worth it. It becomes questionable if the price is to high.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I've maintained that Chambers is solid, but not as good as Bretsky thinks he is.


I wouldn't mind him on my team though. I have a hard time believing Miami would cut him. If they did, I'm not sure how interested he'd be in Green Bay. We have Driver and two good, young receivers. He might be more interested in Minnesota's situation.

I don't mind going with Driver-Jennings-Jones either. That could be a nice threesome in the very near future.

2 QB's
1 on Practice Squad


Driver
Chambers
Jennings
Jones
Martin
Holiday (#5/#6 WR and #3 QB)


But honestly Patler, do you see TT making a run at Chambers ? From my vantage point acquiring a player like Chambers and allowing a young guy to slowly develop seems pretty anti TT like.

Win now Baby !

The Badger fan outjousts a Buckeye fan most of the time ....lol

TT would almost have to trade for him to get him, and I don't see TT giving up a draft pick. Without the trade I'd bet Chambers would choose to go elsewhere.

My guess, with that contract, is he could be had for a 5th round pick. We have the cap space.

Pipe Dreams IMO

[packers11]

I don't like this idea, something is wrong in this situation... Miami doesn't have the strongest WR corps...

Also this means that Jones with be the #4 receiver and hardly see the field...

The upcoming and improving players like Holiday/Martin would not see field at all...

I say... PASS...

TRADE FOR A RB/TE INSTEAD

[gbpackfan]

God, it is sooooooooo depressing to know that ANY TIME a player that isnt a rookie free agent gets cut or is available via trade, Ted Thompson WILL NOT get involved. He is always saying that he is looking to improve the roster but I can't believe that he really believes that. It would be exciting to have a GM that actually got involved in aquiring players outside of the draft. I am very depressed about the Pack right now.

Your contempt for TT causes you to forget what he has done. I'm not suggesting these guys are great, by any means, but in two seasons (since we don't know yet what he will do in 2007) at least the following veterans were acquired via trades or after being released:

Koren Robinson
Rod Gardner
Donald Lee
Vernand Morrency
Brandon Miree
Robert Thomas
Reshard Lee
Mookie Moore
Tyson Walter
Todd Franz
Todd Bauman

Three former 1st round picks KR, Gardner and Thomas), Miree and Thomas became starters, Lee might be. Again, we have only two years to look at here, because the "cuts" are just now happening and possible trades crop up at cutdown time as well.

Others like Ruvell Martin, Holiday, etc were not in their first NFL years, but had not been on active rosters in earlier years. I think the same applied to Gado.

Again, I'm not saying TT has done a top notch job, but it is not an area he has totally ignored either.

Koren Robinson - Drunk
Rod Gardner - BUST
Donald Lee - Above average
Vernand Morrency - unknown, but appears to be injury prone.
Brandon Miree - Lost his starting spot to a rookie LB!
Robert Thomas - BUST
Reshard Lee - BUST
Mookie Moore - BUST
Tyson Walter - BUST
Todd Franz - BUST
Todd Bauman - BUST

That's quite a list there!

TRADE FOR A RB/TE INSTEAD

I would rather see a RB traded for too but this team needs offensive playmakers. I am wondering if Miami isnt cleaning house and starting over. Dumping all the high priced guys, like TT did with Sharper and Wahle, and building from the ground up.

TRADE FOR A RB/TE INSTEAD

So what if Jones or Jennings is are forth WR. They can still get better playing behind two good vets. And as you can see with Driver injuries happen, nothing wrong with a little depth if the price is right.

But I agree, I wish we were talking TE or RB.

[Harlan Huckleby]

I'd do a deal if they throw-in David Martin

Well, Chambers was arrested on a DUI charge this summer. Could there be an underlying problem bigger than the single arrest?

[Partial]

You don't trade for the guy because he doesn't have a lot of value to your team because he isn't any different from a Greg Jennings guy.

He'd be a solid #2 or #3 but you don't give up more than like a 5th for that imo. Especially after he got a dui.

Whenever you sign someones rejects, which most waived players are, you will get little in return. Do you really expect him to get all pros or long term starters off the waiver wire on a routine basis? Those types of players are generally temporary fill ins to improve a spot temporarily. Thomas and Miree did that, both became starters for the Packers the year they were claimed. Lee, possibly too, so TT effectively used the waiver wire, other teams cut players, to improve his team that year. If the next year he is able to find still better player, so much the better. After all, the idea is to continue to improve. He improved by getting them. He improved still more by replacing them.

[Guiness]

Man, I can't believe more than half of you would trade for a declining WR.

This team has much bigger holes.

You're right, but you take any opportunity you can to improve a position. If CC is better than what we've got, you go get him.

I like the idea of grooming 'the next guy' too, but Jennings, JJ, Holiday and Martin are first and second year players. I like all of them, but do we really want to bring along 4 guys at a time? I'd rather see another vet in there.

If anything, this list seems to support the argument for building through the draft. Tough to find anything when dumpster diving through other team's castoffs. Sure, you might find a rusty blender that still works when you plug it in, but you will also find an awful lot of trash.
