This is probably more just my own neandering thoughts, but we have nearly 25 million in cap space. We need a pass rusher. Michael Strahan REPORTEDLY was going to return but was not offered 8 million.
If that's all the cash it takes, 8 millioin, I say Ted, jump on that and get him in here! |

New Jersey) and the opposite for Michael Strahan. I say show him the money! Anything to help our pass rush = good for the Green Bay Packers! |
William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

No, I don't see Strahan pulling something like that anyway, unless it was for the Giants. |

No way this happens. Strahan will not come back unless it is with the Giants. I think they will get something worked out.

I would much rather use the cap space to extend our own players. |

My man Donald Driver  (thanks to Pack93z for the pic) 2010 will be seen as the beginning of the new Packers dynasty.    |

It would be neat to have him here. But i don't see it happening. He would have to WANT to come here, and NY would have to allow him. |

Yeah, but Zero admitted this thread is wishful thinking. I'm sure there are fans of 30 other teams (not including the Giants obviously) that are thinking "what if we get Strahan." |

True......very true. I don't know if he's still as good as he once was. But i bet Ted Thompson is checking it out either way. |

I highly doubt this would ever happen for us. It would require the Giants to trade a pass rusher to the team that they played in the NFC Championship. It'd be stupid for them to do it, but, that doesn't mean I can't think it up! Geez. |
