I'm all for being in every talk, but this is one I'm good with us never having anything to do with.

The Packers may be interested in Antonio Brown. Unless they aren't. The swirling confusion over the wantaway Steelers wide receiver's situation has led to some ESPN-on-ESPN crime this morning. Last night, ESPN's Dianna Russini said the Packers were "interested and looking to make moves per sources.' This morning, ESPN.com Packers beat reporter Rob Demovsky refuted [more]

Sounds like Steelers initial starting point flew way over the market for Brown... making me wonder if they were looking for a 1st plus more or something...

I'd be interested in Brown, but not nearly that high of price.

Also I'm surprised that many fans that screamed about Thompson not getting Randy Moss (despite Moss hanging up on Thompson and trying to force the trade to the Patriots), aren't screaming for Brown...

Is that much difference between Moss and Brown? Elite talent, has their team problems. I know it's not an inexact match but I think some similarities.

Brown, INCREDIBLE talent.
And INCREDIBLE pain in the ....

Could have used the talent, but not worth the headache.

I really don't see us being Antonio Brown away from a Super Bowl at this point. I would rather the money be put into positions that get us closer to being a real contender and roll the dice on the guys we have at WR. I would still like us to draft Andy Isabella.

Sounds to me like The Bills were the only team that was ready to give what the Steelers wanted, then Brown said no he wouldn't report to The Bills.
Now we wait to see what The Steelers do.

They may just say the hell with it and release Brown.

He becomes a FA, that might change The Packers thinking.

I never heard of any interest from The Packers, and I never heard where he wasn't interested in coming to Green Bay.

This could turn into a Charles Woodson scenario.
No team wants to touch Brown.
The Packers sign him on their terms, and you never know.

Pittsburghs move.

Brown goes to Raiders for a 3rd and fifth and:

NEVILLE E. GUARD, USA TODAY SPORTS
Per NFL Network, Brown will receive a reworked contract that covers three years and pays $50.1 million (with a maximum value of $54.1 million) with $30.1 million of it guaranteed.

Good luck.

Packers can spend that 54mil on players they need .

beast (17-May) : Not sure why a players views reflect on GB... instead of simply on the player

Martha Careful (17-May) : I bet some of us have had 6+ mRNA jabs, a UKR flag on our walls, and still think Fauci has a thread of integrity

Zero2Cool (16-May) : From what I've read, it's all Jets , not us.

CanPackFan (16-May) : Will there ever be a time when Rodgers' whacko views will not reflect on GB? He is the past, thank god.

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Jan 4th gonna be rough with that start time lol

Zero2Cool (16-May) : Packers schedule listed. Boom.

buckeyepackfan (15-May) : Let the leaks begin. Colts @ Packers week 2, Vikings @ Packers week 4

Zero2Cool (14-May) : WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling to Bills

Zero2Cool (14-May) : Jets and Aaron Rodgers open up on Monday Night Football,

Zero2Cool (13-May) : $170 guaranteed. This might impact Jordan Love

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Lions are signing QB Jared Goff to a four-year, $212 million extension

Zero2Cool (13-May) : I know we moved on. That tidbit just makes me a touch happier.

Zero2Cool (13-May) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : And the OL protections seem to be good.

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : 4th

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
