Before his answer was about the playoffs. Like I said I still want to see the connection work between him and the WRs... not that it changes anything other than makes me feel better.

Your brain hurts? ... can we put Zero in the concussion protocol? JK
On a serious note, if your brain hurts make sure you're drinking enough water and getting enough sleep, I've heard some study a long time ago, that most 97% of brain pain is due to some sort of combo between dehydration, lack or sleep and stress.

Why do we need to free up roster space? ... are you planning on moving someone from the PS up to the main roster?

I think the NFL would have a negative reaction to Rodgers going back onto the IR, right after coming off of it... if the Packers could get away with it, probably would depend on how much stick the player union and other teams made about it.

But they can probably IR House and Perry...

Here's something else to look at from the league's point of view:

There are 13 teams between 8-6 and 6-8. (I am giving Atl the win tomorrow and taking them out of the mix). That means there can be a lot of variations come draft day next year from the 11th pick to the 24th pick. If NFL, Inc thought teams were making less than their best effort in order to move up in the draft they could fine or take away a draft pick.

GB would be able to say Aaron was still injured and playoff necessity forced them to bring him back sooner than thy should have. (Of course a bold statement like that tends to lead to lawsuits so I doubt they would define it like that.) But if GB isn't willing to say Aaron is still injured I still say Corporate expects him to suit up and give it a go. At least for the first half.

Roger took away draft picks because a ball deflated a little bit in cold air. Not even science can stop him from doing whatever he wants.
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I asked a question. What does the final two games prove? What does he have to gain? Nothing, he gains nothing. That's my point and you go and say since I'm not in an NFL Decision Room I am clueless. It is my opinion that the NFL and Packers know what Adams can do and what he brings. Why put him out there? As his agent, (I am not), I would advise my client to rest the final two games and cash in during the off season.

I don't understand why that's so hard to accept. Sure, if Adams himself wants 1,000 yards and his agent advises him of the risks, so be it. But, again, I replied to someone saying "if i were his agent" and that's the role I was playing.

From a coach view ... Sit Adams, show off Jeff Janis and Trevor Davis. Adams doesn't need more snaps. Janis and Davis do need more snaps.

I never said (nor did I ever mean to imply) that you're clueless (though you did call yourself a "dumbass "). In fact, you're probably right, that it probably doesn't matter if he comes back this season... but some of the NFL decision makers seem to get hung up on some odd stuff at times... and not coming back from a concussion has the potential to maybe be one of those potential hang up items.

Again, you're probably right about the 95% majority of decision makers.... of course the Seahawks decided NOT to draft Brett Favre because of a single vote.

So, you're saying if Adams is 100% healthy and can play final two games and chooses not to, that NFL decision makers will frown on that? I buy that, I would agree to that.

1,000 yards or 900 yards, to me, that don't matter a single bit to decision makers. Adams (I know based on his comments last season) really wants 1,000 yards.

But I don't think the Packers want to get away with anything... they normally just go the simply route.

But normally the NFL only does something like that if other teams are complaining... the question is, would other teams be complaining and would the NFL find enough to suggest there should be punishment... all depends on the medical stuff that we don't know about.

NFL careers are short...

Adams is coming up on his first and maybe only big payday.

IF he was cleared to play (and that's a big IF) and the Packers made him a healthy scratch "to protect his health" ... Unless they are already close to a deal with his agent ... I don't see how his agent would be real happy. Sure he could get hurt but it is more likely he adds to his yards and TD totals. Aikman and Buck were commenting today how he is right there with Antonio Brown for most TDs over the last 2 years.

You don't add $$$ to your first and maybe only big payday being a healthy scratch. That's all I'm saying.
