Rat's like what, Cheese. I don't think this tweets or twits or whatever mean anything. Kind of stretching things there.

I think this is more true then anything. He's becoming a "gym rat" because he loves cheese and works out a lot.

My guess is Thompson has complete faith in Brad Jones to be the man. I think this is risky. I believe the guy is good (average) to above average. I'm just not sure if that is enough to get us deep into the playoffs.

Let's hope I'm wrong.

BTW.. I would be opposed to having him in GB.. maybe opposed is too strong.. but I don't think he would be an effective upgrade for the money he is going to want and the possible baggage he might bring.

With that being said.. Woodson had questions as well before he came here.. so like any other acquisition.. I would welcome him to the Packers and then judge him upon his play and actions both on and off the field.

I wouldn't be. The baggage everyone worries about is severely overblown, mostly due to the fame of the woman involved in that incident. As far as the wrestling and whatnot, it doesn't bother me - he's an out-sized personality, and that's not uncommon in the NFL. Look at it this way: people on these boards wanted the Pack to get Joey Porter - this guy's not even in Porter's league when it comes to malcontents.

To me, the main questions are: 1. Health (I worry about the knee and wonder if he's not soon to be a candidate for microfracture surgery). 2. Monetary demands - I agree with you that if he's looking to break the bank he won't fit, but if he's willing to take something lower and more incentive-laden to prove he's still got It, I wouldn't be opposed to the addition. Much like with Woodson, I think his "issues" are overblown, mostly by the SD media, who've decided they don't like him.

For the right price (and I'll concede he might not be willing to accept that), he could come in and make the D a lot scarier.

Any thing is possible. I think it would be a good gamble, especially at 25 and we don't give up a 1st round for him. He was a dominate 3-4 LB.
As far as the idea Ted Thompson doens't go after people with bad reputations or that have been in trouble. Look at the TE we drafted this year.
I would say this is just a rumer but the fact that Merriman twittered this himself sounds like something happening. Like the deal is done (as far as trade) and that a contract is being renegotiated.
To many people seem to think they had Ted Thompson pegged. No one thought he ever would trade up like last years draft with Mathews.

I'd caution you on the part I bolded. It could also be Merriman just stumping for himself. It's pretty clear that he's not long for San Diego - whether the exit is this year or next. He knows his maximum value is as a 3-4 rush LB, and he knows that the Packers need exactly that. So he drops hints in his tweets, knowing full well that we, the Packer fans, will catch them and start drooling at the prospect.

Or you're absolutely right. I'm skeptical, but we'll see.

I'd like to add him just for the pass rushing. It'll give old man Favre one more thing to think about this summer while weasiling out of all off season work.

Hmm, I have six games against Vandenbosch, Peppers, and Green Bay's M&M boys. Maybe it is time to quit. And all along the Vikings could have drafted Clausen.

As for Merriman, I really hope we don't throw the bank at him, becuase he only had 36 tackles and 4 sacks last year. Brad Jones probably had comparable stats. But if Merriman's knee is back to 90%, I would be excited. It seems to me, GB's medical staff would have a lot of input on this.

Interesting. I'll believe it when I see it, but if true, man that opens up things quite a bit for the linebacker core.

If Green Bay did acquire him though, that's a lot of cash tied up in that group. I would have to believe that Poppinga would be gone, and possibly Hawk as well.

I'd have to check San Diego's ILB corps, but I'd say that one of our ILBs would have to be involved - they would want a quality player, and ILB is close to the only spot where we've got that kind of depth. Good call.

Just high hopes on my end. I would really like him as a packer. It's just a rumer until it actually happens.
