2024 -25 Green Bay Packers Thread

Packers hire Anthony Campanile as new LBs coach.  Was in Miami prior.  Campanile interviewed for the Giants DC job this off-season

Congrats to Julius Peppers. Well earned Hall of Fame

It will be interesting to see how moving to a four man defensive line will affect the Packers draft. IMO, I don't think it will affect things like it did when Capers was hired and they drafted Raji and traded up for Clay in the 1st round.

I think the bodies are in place for a 4-3 or 4-2(when in nickel).

The line looms better than it has in a long time. I think Wyatt and Brooks work better in a single gap scheme, and Wooden isn't as much a tweener.

The profile of player you're looking for at linebacker changes but it was a big need regardless of coordinator and scheme

He was such a freak athlete.  Missed like 6 games his entire career.  Great player and was still very good on the Pack.  Well deserved for him.

Solid basketball player, too.

Nor should they.  He had a great opportunity last year and did nothing with it. Move on and find an upgrade.

Eh, if they can get him real cheap they should.  Knows the offense, blocks his ass off, etc.  There is a glut of RBs available so the amount he'll be able to command should be small.

So, for the right price I'm fine with him being RB3

He's going to have a chance to be RB2 or 1B. Let him walk - there are plenty of guys that fit his mold in the draft that you get in the 4th or later.

He will not be a RB1 anywhere.  His legs are behind him, and there are many other available backs on the FA market.

Honestly, wouldn't be surprised to see him get a vet min

Rb3 means sometimes not even active on game day and when active, role is almost entirely on special teams. He's not going to settle for that role, nor is there a "right price" he and team would anywhere near agree to.  The price of that role is about league minimum and little to no signing bonus.  That's a role for a rookie or very young player who's either a special teams dynamo and/or a guy you think can develop into an expanded role as RB.

Still wouldn't do it if I'm GB. Get 4 years of a rookie like Allen or Estime in the middle rounds

Everyone knows all of this. Maybe try having an original thought instead of just being a copy boy for AP.

And he's missing they signed Xavier McKinney

[4everwarriors]

Huh, hey?

[NCMUFan]

Wow, without Aaron Jones, no way they are in the playoffs last season.
As dumb as releasing Davante Adams?

[Herman Cain]

Definitely fills a need for The Packers.

https://packerswire.usatoday.com/2024/03/11/packers-to-sign-safety-xavier-mckinney-to-4-year-68m-deal/

Still doesn't make up for release Aaron Jones . Heart and Soul of the team.

Remember when you said they should trade Love and Carlson was the best player on the team?
