The Vikings might try to sign him.

He made eight starts last year in a fill-in role last year at three different positions. He's the only new opening-day starter, joining LT David Bahktiari, LG Lane Taylor, C Corey Linsley and RT Bryan Bulaga.
Was that even in doubt. That line has NO depth. Heck, this team has no depth. A couple of big injuries and we are toast.
Fortunately the Packers are not an injury prone team. Uh... Wait...

Davis is worth about as much as Hundley, which is less than the Seahawks gave.

Serial Pooper at Practice Field Has Ties to Training Camp Dorms
DE PERE, WI–Authorities said they cracked the case of a mysterious serial pooper targeting the Packers outdoor practice field, and the identity of the suspect came as quite a surprise: the training camp dormitory superintendent! The Ashwaubenon Volunteer Police Squadron (AVPS) said the resource officer monitoring activity surrounding Lambeau Field was alerted to the feces fiasco at Ray Nitschke Field by training camp staff. According to investigators, the stool scoundrel was defecating on the field “on a daily basis” leading up to the start of training camp. The resource officer, along with some staff, collected samples from evenings prior and surveilled the field for the dastardly defecator, which led to identification of the suspect as 49-year-old Bradly Kramer. He lives several miles from the practice field, but moonlights as the superintendent of the DePere college dorm facilities during Packers training camp while players are hold up there to prevent conjugal activities at home with wives or retired race car drivers when they should be studying their playbooks. Kramer, which some on social media have dubbed the “pooper-intendent,” was charged with lewdness, littering, and defecating in public. He later lamented that he would have gotten away with it if detectives hadn’t matched their evidence to the corn cobs that he threw into his trash can.
Enema of the State
What’s really scary is that I kinda look like that guy, only with better teeth and hygiene.

One of better posters and one of the so so. I'll let you decide which is which.
HATEFUL™

Cardinals.
Freddie Joe Nunn. Remember the play well. Going out of bounds. It WAS a cheap shot.
Let's see, that was so long ago. Maybe it was the Patriots, no, no BB wasn't there yet. It could have been the Vikings - no, no, they can't get anything right. The Lions couldn't pass rush a blocking dummy. The Buccaneers were Sapp(ed) of their strength years ago. It might have been the Bears, but Dick Butkus retired years ago. We all know it wasn't the Bengals - they could hurt anyone with those silly helmets. It must have been Jacksonville - they didn't exist yet.
Go Bea...., I mean Packers! 
A few years ago there was a lot of angst about Lane Taylor. I was not down on Taylor then and I am not concerned about Spriggs now.
What’s interesting to me was an article I read (I forget where) that showed stats where Aaron was making less and less deep passes. Over time the yardage has dropped. I also read where two tight end sets were not all that successful. Now we DO have new TEs but the numbers still seem to indicate that Aaron seems to have less and less time to throw in the pocket. The Bears pass rush will not help.
That decline in (I believe) yards per attempt I think coincided with Nelson's injury. Don't have time to look it up right now.
Maybe Valdes-Scanting will see the field enough to stretch the D.

You're a brave man. Taylor was a UDFA at least. I hope Spriggs can become a competent backup. I don't see this guy starting.

I have to believe they are considering VS as a 4th receiver, even as a decoy at this point.
Or....Philbin gets the passing game back to layered depth routes and Rodgers has to read the safety to find his mismatch instead of the four verticals that were incredibly easy to cover and overly reliant on Rodgers “making” extra time to find secondary options out of those four lame ass verticals.
If you have Adams, Cobb, and Graham with a very capable pass catching back like Williams. Rodgers should never have the ball in his hand longer than 3-4 seconds. If he does he’s still looking for the explosive play or the staff still hasn’t learned how to assemble effective route trees.
Thats what I’m most interested in watching Sunday night. Route concepts have to be better than they’ve been the last three years.
Speed like Janis... but that's where the similarity ends.

But it isn't Richard Rodgers and whatever other Slowpoke Rodriguez was manning the TE position. Hanging onto FBs was also a shot at McVince's genius as well. Pretty sure that's why Lunch Pail Ripkowski is gone.
Looking good heading into week 1:
#Packers injury report entering Sunday night’s opener vs. Bears. Don’t think Mike McCarthy could have hoped for any better.

Example: six weeks ago, few people expected RT Bryan Bulaga to play Week 1, much less not even be on the injury report. Pretty remarkable. pic.twitter.com/m8TiYWLrKl

“What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease”
Style points have never mattered.
well just before the game i will be like:
Peter King is interviewing AR and Bart Starr on the pregame.
Network pregames suck. Network post games suck mos of the time.
Interesting link about rivalries (in this case Ravens/Steelers)
Basically, both teams need to be good to make a good rivalry. The Bears have been bad for too long, so we may forget how much we hate them. OTOH, I like kicking them while they are down.
Let’s hope we see more of this today....
And less of this....
