Good-bye Davon House. Hello Bashaud Breeland!

House has never been worth a ****.

Too lazy to look it up but it sure seems like House missed a lot of games during his time as a Packer.

I was fine bringing him back as the 5th cornerback this season, but it is hard to believe he was either the 2nd or 3rd cornerback heading into 2017. 

He was a good prospect coming out of UNM. Tall, long, 4.4 speed, and ideal prospect. Looked like he could be an Al Harris clone. I think injuries have taken their toll on him because he looks like an OLD 29 year old.

Breeland was a good corner coming up with Washington.  Had signed a 3 year deal but got into a wreck with a golf cart that waived the deal?  

I always liked House but he was all hands vs Skins. Next man up.

Good by and good luck 

Breeland is a really good pick up. The Saints were looking to sign him today. Gute didn’t let him leave GB. 

This also opens the door to Tramon Williams sliding to safety which he’s done before.  

That would mean a lot less Brice.

Bashaud Breeland could be a huge value signing for the Packers. He was an $8 million-a-year corner on the free-agent market in March. He played in 60 of a possible 64 games for the Redskins, including 58 starts with eight interceptions, from 2014-17.

Certainly can't hurt because House looked slower than Williams.

it's not nice but I literally cheered when they announced on the radio after work that House was going to IR.  no wheels, time to move on.

Good locker room guy. Unfortunately, didn't offer much on the field.

Might be better on sideline coaching up the younger guys.  

Very encouraging, Gupenkrantz constantly on the prowl! Nice find.

now on to the LB position.  

Good luck with that.  They stumbled into Breeland because he screwed up his foot and he isn't an ideal teammate.  Guess we'll see.

Hopefully he's in shape and hungry to play football, cause when he is, he's really good. 

I like that the Packers don’t cut guys loose- they IR’d him do he can stay with the team because t not count on the roster. Not sure what the ailment is, but House has tire tracks on his back after last weekend. Severely damaged pride maybe.  

Brice better be on the list next. He’s a total liability...

Got him for the vet minimum. 

Ted Thompson would not have made a FA signing in Week 4. His plan would’ve been to promote a player from the practice squad.

Credit is due to Gute for make a signing.

Agree with that.

Who the **** is "eye in the sky"?

Allegedly House had an undisclosed injury from the Vikings game.  Not sure if it was the same thing (shoulder) or something else.  

Breeland is certainly a good replacement and glad they made the move. 

An average song from Alan Parsons.

A little better than average, Methinks.

Agree with that.

Let’s see what Breeland does first. A GM’s job is to bring in better talent. How he does so doesn’t matter. Signing a free agent doesn’t automatically make him better than an undrafted free agent. Sam Shields was an undrafted free agent.

Actually, I'd rate below average for him, but average overall.

Breeland has got to be better than House. House wouldn't have been forced to cover Diggs, man to man, if the safety saw the mismatch. Cousins to Diggs is a no brainer with House in man coverage.

I'm guessing it all depends on that jacked up foot of his.  Skin grafts and infections sounds nasty.  I think it's a good signing, it just seems a little weird no one else was sniffing around this guy.  Hope that foot is healed.

Lots of team were sniffing around. Bucs, Raiders, Chiefs, Colts, Browns, Ravens, and Pats all had him in for a visit before the Packers signed him.

Maybe AJ Hawk's hyperbaric chamber is still available.  That's what worked to heal my skin graft.

He'd come cheap in 2019. If he stays healthy, the Packers could fill a much needed hole at CB. It will be interesting to watch him in the next 3 games. 

The Packers have options, but among them is signing Breeland to another contract on what likely will be a team-friendly deal.

“I need him back,” Alexander said of his locker room neighbor. “We’ve built a good connection.”

Breeland said he wasn’t aware of any conversations about a new contract with the Packers, but that he’d welcome a chance to return.

“If I have the opportunity,” Breeland said, “I would. At this point in time, the Green Bay Packers have first dibs because I’m here. They can make it happen at any moment. But I’m not really worried about what the future holds right now. I’m living in the moment. I’m just having fun.”

It's absolutely worth it.  He's just getting going in this system.  It would be silly to not give him even a short term contract.  With King being hurt all the time it makes even more sense.
