That #87 is Sternberger BTW.
Oof, from starter to trade bait:
Andy Dalton, who threw for 329 yards and a touchdown without any turnovers against the Rams on Sunday, turns 32 years old today. Not the happiest of birthdays. If the Bengals are done with him, maybe they can do him a favor and trade him before today’s deadline.

A lot of corners and safeties are available today. I haven't seen anything for ILBs of note.
Trade: Rams are trading CB Aqib Talib AND a fifth-round pick to Miami for a future pick, per source.

Isn't he the guy that made BJ Goodson expendable?
The Packers also opened up two roster spots today, releasing Darrius Shepherd and Evan Baylis, per a source.

Campbell did have some nice plays last year, we'll see.
The Packers were going to be hard pressed to add any WR/TE with more potential than Jace Sternberger unless they have up a high draft pick.
The guy was a 3rd round pick for a reason and he's been in and around practices since July. It sounds like they opened up a roster spot to activate him. Excited to see what he can do.
Packers waive Shepherd and Evan Baylis. Sign Tremon Smith(KR).

Still makes me laugh
Laugh to hide the tears. So stubborn, he burned way too many of #12's good years. Old bastard.
Sternberger can play and is worth the roster spot. He's going to be a damn good football player.
Shep sucks... he can't play at this level.
I'm not surprised that the Packers didn't make any trades. I also won't be surprised if they don't make any big splashes in FA this year either. They are going to have to make decisions on Bulaga, Lowrey, Tramon Williams, Fackrell, Martinez and Crosby. Not mention a possible pay raise to Clark and Jones. Most of the guys that are free agents, are not huge losses, but will need to be replaced. The Packers are going to need draft picks and cap space to fill out this roster.
Hey Doc, here is what I think they should do.
Keep
- Bulaga, hopefully he gives a home town deal. My guess is he will but will want a lot of guaranteed money.
- Lowry already has been extended.
- Crosby, he can play another 2 or 3.
- Lewis. 1 year deal if he wants to go one more.
Extend
- Clark. Lock him up for 4 or 5 years.
Walk
- Fackrell. We drafted Gary and paid the Smiths bros. Simply can’t afford to give Kyler a 2nd deal.
- Williams. Unless he wants vet minimum, the money would be better used elsewhere.
- Martinez. Someone will pay top 10 ILB money for his tackle numbers. It better not be us.
- Gmo - productions not there.
Other Moves
- Take the cap hit on Graham.
- Start talks with Jones next year.
There will be room for some spending under the cap. The hardest thing is going to find ILBs that can contribute right away.
Early Draft and FA targets
- ILB
- WR
- DT /DE
- Swing Tackle (Maybe not, Light looked ok)
- CB
Late Draft
- WR depth
- OL depth
- ILB depth
- CB depth
2021 is going to be a tough year. Bahk, Linsey, A Jones, J Williams, King, and Clark are all due.
I see the Packers released Shepherd and Baylis. No real surprises there. Both played STs , which of late, haven't been so good.
Return units need to figure out how to block or it won't matter if we put peak Devin Hester back there.
I mean on KO returns it would be nice to at least see a guy have some forward momentum as he fields the kick. Most of the time they are catching the ball moving backwards or standing on the back on their heels. That's pretty normal on punts but not kickoffs!
Packers were trying to trade for Le'Veon Bell?!?!?

Weird....but I guess it can't hurt to talk
Packers at #29 on the waiver wire claim. Doubt they'd have a shot at Gordon even if interested.
??? Gordon is a FA - yes? Patriots cut him
Only becomes a FA if unclaimed.
Edit: Here's the details.
New England waited to release Gordon after the trade deadline purposefully. Had they done it beforehand, he would have been an unrestricted free agent and could possibly join a contender that is competing against the Patriots in the AFC. Now, he'll be subject to waivers.
Who's going to claim him? I'm not saying I want him in Green Bay because he can rot for all I care. Just don't see any team claiming him & taking on his contract.
Pats didn't release him yet. Who has cap room for player on IR?
He’s released and coming off IR, the unanswered question is, why did they do it?
By all accounts it’s a tight-knit organization, like they know everything about everyone. My guess is they found out he started using again. Pure speculation but relapses happen and they never really gave a solid reason.
I can see the Saints adding him. They could use another WR.
Heard a discussion on Gordon this week RE: Packers on local sports radio.
Essentially said GB has the same WR in MVS . Except with Gordon, he's also a poor route runner. So we would be adding a speedster GB already has. What the Packers really need is a slot guy. I think GB envisioned that would be Shepard, it just never materialized.
I would love to see Gutenheimer find the next Greg Jennings (minus the loony sister) in rounds 1-3 in the 2020 draft. This is supposedly a pretty deep draft at WR this year.
Word out of NE is that there were concerns about Gordon's work ethic.

Sadly, a lot of people have put a cork in it 10 times and popped the cork 11 times.

Gordon = Not Packer People.
JSO = reading Timesfour again. LOL
Gordon is a gifted 28-year-old who has severe substance-abuse issues. That the receiver-needy Patriots are willing to cut him now that he’s back from a minor knee injury is a big red flag, and you have to wonder what happened that would make the Patriots move on. If he’d relapsed, you’d think the league would have already suspended him again.
Sanders looked really good last night.
Amazing that he was able to develop trust and chemistry with Jimmy G so fast. Yes, im being sarcastic. I fucking hate the trust and chemistry cliche more than any other BS cliche in sports.
