Profootballtalk via Bill Michaels Radio Show “No doors are closed yet, and we’ll see what happens,” McCarthy said on The Bill Michaels Show. “It’s always something that I think you have to be realistic about in the National Football League. I would love to work with all three of those guys again.”

The only guy I ever recall Mike McCarthy saying they moved on from was Brett Favre.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

Check out this link ! It had the same story and you could have just clicked the "Discuss" button and it would have brought the topic into the forum all ready for you to add your comments! It's a great feature of PackersHome!

The Packers have maintained all offseason that they are open to a return from tight end Jermichael Finley if they think his neck is sound after last year's injury and subsequent surgery and nothing has changed on that front. Head coach Mike McCarthy said on Friday that the team hasn't moved on from Finley for...

Pickett might have a year left. I'd like to see Jolly too, if he's healthy. They should bring him back and just PUP him, in case we need him later on if a bunch of guys go down.

I don't like this whole idea of getting "smaller and quicker" on the Dline.

Hell No at any price for Pickett; Hell No at anywhere near what he probably would get if deemed healthy for Finley; OK on Jolly, but no big deal if he is gone too.

Bottom line on all three is they would be taking roster spots from players of more value.

I hate to spend much time agreeing with Texas, but he's right. Hehehehe.

Our D sucked last year. So why would we want 2 of the big guys up front that were actively involved in the sucking. Younger, faster, cheaper replacements are available.

Finley, ehh. There appear to be adequate replacements on the roster that cost less and talk less. For all of his greatness, he didn't win anything for us. Missed the Super Bowl season (most of) and has continually been hurt. Move on.

Plus, I get the added benefit of watching you go cuckoo crazy when I don't use it. 😆

What happens if a couple of guys get injured in training camp?

What happens if midway through camp, these young guys don't show the improvements that are expected of them?

I think it's a good idea to have Pickett and Jolly as 2 guys to fall back on if needed.

As much as I like the draft and develop system, sometimes a proven vet, even if he isn't what he used to be, can be an asset to a team.

Finley is a different story, I've stated before, I am in the camp that thinks The Packers will never clear him to play.

Well we will see where the depth is on the line after training camp/pre-season. Finley is going to be something very interesting. He's got a pretty crazy dilemma with a potential insurance claim or retiring.

Zero2Cool (37m) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (4h) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (6h) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (9h) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (10h) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

dfosterf (28-Apr) : Bowden long snapper Wisconsin. Consensus best LS in college.

dfosterf (28-Apr) : We got Peter Bowde

dfosterf (28-Apr) : I personally interpret that as a partial tear that can be recovered from with rehab

dfosterf (28-Apr) : MLF said Kingsley Enagbare did NOT tear his ACL and did NOT require surgery, and that he is "looking good" for the 2024 season!

TheKanataThrilla (27-Apr) : I think he ended up with a terrible RAS score
