Here's a name to think about

Marshawn Lynch.

The Packers were very high on Lynch in the 2007 draft if I recall. Had he been there, I think the Packers would've selected him rather than Justin Harrell.

Lynch has fallen out of favor in Buffalo and is definitely available. Probably wouldn't take anything more than a 5th round draft pick to get him.

This week, Green Bay gets Buffalo. Certainly, the Bills aren't going to move Lynch to a team they're facing in that respective week. He knows the playbook and you don't want that to bite you in the butt.

However, after this game, all bets are off. If Brandon Jackson were to struggle and with the Bills game behind Green Bay, Lynch is the type of risk worth taking IMO.

Now, I only bring this up because of Lynch's name apparently being tossed around inside the front office. Personally, I'm a fan of the talent Lynch has. Behind the Packers offensive line, I think he could be really solid. His ego with Finley's ego though might be a lot for Aaron Rodgers to handle in the huddle.

Lynch is a bad apple. I don't see us touching him.

No doubt about it. But you really think Eugene Robinson was a different person in Green Bay than he was Atlanta?

Sometimes you have to throw a dart. Even if this is a one year rental, I'm just sayin'.

Jackson is on a tryout. The trade deadline is still a ways away. But this is a name to keep an eye on.

I'm not sure how that's relevant since we traded Matt LaBounty to the Seahawks for Eugene Robinson who after winning a Super Bowl with us, went to Atlanta.

I know you're just saying, I see your post, so that's not really necessary to say. :)

You would have been better to use Andre Rison instead.

I'm talking about the character of the guy and not the means of how the Packers went and got him. Though I immediately thought of Rison once I read my post.

I'll go a step further and say there is probably a good chance Green Bay has another Marshawn Lynch like person currently in the locker room.

If this locker room can absorb it and set the guy straight, then I don't see a lot of down side in making the a deal. Again, this is purely based on Jackson struggles. If he goes out and plays well the next two weeks, Green Bay is not going to do much of anything. If he struggles and a drop off is evident, Lynch is probably the most realistic option on the table.

Don't see the point really. Can we wait and see what Jackson brings to the table before calling for his replacement?

Besides, if Green Bay were to do any trading, why settle for Lynch when they could land a better back such as Jonathan Stewart from Carolina?

If it wouldn't take anything more than a 5th to get him don't you think the Broncos would have done that deal instead of giving up a 4th for Maroney?

Guess I don't get it, because Robinson was a classy guy from everything I knew of him and about him, until his incident in Atlanta, of course. I'd like some clarification on that, cuz I'm lost.

Lynch was pretty vocal about not wanting to go to Green Bay pre-draft and I believe after the draft. I think it may have been you that quoted him as well, which is why I trusted the words.

I think Lynch is a better talent than Nance, but I'm not all that high on Lynch either. Although, I'd rather a trade for him than Maroney as was mentioned in another thread.

Didn't Patriots give up a 6th plus Maroney for a 4th?

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!
