Should Ted Trade for Cribbs?

Josh Cribbs is pissed about his contract. Right or wrong, he wants more cash and is prepared to sit out the season.

Green Bay's kick and punt returners are mediocre to average at best. Why not dangle a draft pick or two to Holmgren for Cribbs? Instant upgrade at that position. Seems that the Pack are only a few players away from winning the whole thing. Imagine the havoc he could have wreaked on the Cards yesterday. The only hurdle I could see would be Cribbs' contract demands, but why not take the chance?

Would love to have him. Who do we cut to make a spot. Is him on ST enough to weaken our WR corp or DBs?

That I am not sure about.

Sarcastic Answer - one of our fullbacks :icon_smile:

I would also wonder if the reason for his great returns is that the Browns special team unit is far superior in all ways to Green Bay's. Seems like the Browns block better maybe?

Can Cribbs play defense in the middle of the field?

Who would we cut? Whoever the hell plays our 5th WR position.

As great as our receivers are, nobody but possibly Greg Jennings has enough explosive speed to consider themselves a threat to anybody's gameplan.

our 5th receiver is usually inactive on gameday. so in that case who would we sit to put him on the active roster?

i would be shocked if we continued to carry 3 FBs on the roster next season. But once again all 3 are never active at once. So that still doesn't solve it.

If we have to trade him for a draft pick, I say no. We have a lot of positions that we need to draft players for (e.g. OL, S, DL, CB)

This is a placeholder

I agree I dont see us keeping 3 FBs ... kuhn and johnson I believe are the keepers ... We have 3 running backs also. All 3 are good IMO. They sure didnt use jackson much thou and hes pretty good. I could see them getting rid of him and grabbing someone else.

We are loaded with CB and safety peeps that suck ... I can see us dumping some of these guys. And can we get rid of bush already? ... or do you guys want to see another WR outplay him ...

Damn wish harris was in that last game ...

Wonder if we could work a trade with Cribbs and Kampman if Cleveland does go 4-3. Sure there would be picks one way or another involved.

Zero2Cool (15h) : 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) : 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

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.

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

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!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

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

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : 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.
