Wisconsin Badger to be the top backup for the Packers this upcoming season. That's what this means if you ask me. It also means Matt Flynn will be moving on. He'll probably land a backup QB job in Florida.

I hope you guys are right that this signing means letting Flynn go. It certainly seems that way.

I like Flynn and he helped us out a couple of years back, but to be honest he did not look good in his time on the field replacing A-Rod last season. Granted a couple of games were kill the clock specials with the back-ups, but when Rodgers went out against Detroit the wheels were definitely coming off with Flynn behind center. Tolzien showed some down the field promise with a very nice arm, hopefully he has taken advantage of a year to understudy behind Rodgers and Flynn.

I do wonder if we draft a QB. Any late round players that might be worth a shot?

Thankfully Flynn was able to help us out but it's time to move upward and onward.

The Packers threw a cannonball into the free agency pool last night by keeping wide receiver Randall Cobb off the market with a four-year, $40 million deal. This one's more of a ripple, but it's another step toward stability in Green Bay. According to Lance Allan of WTMJ in Milwaukee, the Packers have agreed to...

Mucky Tundra (8-Aug) : beast, I thought the designate return from IR players had to be IR at cutdowns to 53, not before

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : and because it's not a dynasty league (which makes a lot more sense to be ability to trade picks)

Mucky Tundra (4-Aug) : Oh I know; I was just exploring and it blew my mind that you could trade picks because of the whole reordering thing
