But Gerg, but what about all that brain washing????
He can piss off. As far as I am concerned he and Bert are Vikings.
Those purple stains don't wash off easily.
They never wash off. Outside of Gilbert Brown, who only had a cup of coffee in Loserville, we've had Koren Robinson and Letroy Guion. BOTH got in trouble with the law. 'Nuff said.
Greg made his bed and now he has to sleep in it. I have no doubt that Cobb looked to Jennings and Bulaga looked to Colledge for what happens when players leave AR and the Packers offense. You struggle with inept QB's, rotate through multiple coaches and systems, your play looks like crap b/c of the uncertainty, and you get cut without realizing over half of your "bigger" contract.
Does anyone think Tramon will be in Cleveland in 2017? I don't.....

Tramon Williams@highrizer38
@RuszerJr16 lol.. I wish you go to hell, with gasoline drawers.
And, Jason first protected his tweets this morning, and now, he's completely deleted his account.
Nice job fukknut.
Jennings, this afternoon. You don't say.
"I've had my struggles with the quarterbacks, so a quarterback would be nice," Jennings said when asked about what he's looking for in a new team.
Oh, Gerg is tickling some taint in the last 24...
That's just his tail between his own legs.
He isn't going to get the kind of money he wants from the Packers, and his chances of becoming one of the top two receivers again in Green Bay are nil (barring injury, of course). He should just go directly to Oakland and sign with them.
Just not the same.
"Like it was my decision"
What the hell does that mean?
What the hell does that mean?
Greg was great here and was a good team mate/rep for the org....then when he became a FA he talked out of his ass and the punishment for that stupidity was 2 yrs with the Vikes
I don't despise the guy...but the team simply has no need for him anymore. I highly doubt he would accept the minimum and it makes little sense to bring him to take snaps away from the young guys who are trying to develop and improve their game. The Pack also don't need to be investing any more of their cap into their offense....they need to put the rest of it into the draft and into fixing this defense that continues to lag behind the offense

He's looking for a QB who isn't quite as mean as AR.
I despise the MOFO. If you want to join that outhouse of a franchise, fine. Just shut your mouth and get on with it. Instead he badmouths Arod, the franchise, the coaching and the City of Green Bay. I wish him nothing but ill will.
Hard to get past Greg taking things so far Leslie Frasier had to tell him to STFU.
After Favre and Rodgers Greg needed a little purple QB suck to get his mind right. A genuine shame. He was a great WR.
Gerg with the shake & bake vs. The Vajeens.
Beauty....

The last straw for me was the "Packers Suck" helmet. Everything was forgivable but that. Oh and his loudmouth twat of a sister taking to Twitter. F them all.
Always looked to me like he didn't understand the playbook.
@MikeGarafolo: LB Jamari Lattimore is visiting the Jets today, source says. After four seasons in Green Bay, could be looking at new landing spot.
I wish I could like more than once, just for the gratuitous use of twat.
It is very underserved.
A twat on twitter makes her a twatter?

AR stared him down from the huddle and they still couldn't stop it.
James Jones handled himself like Greg Jennings should have. I want nothing to do with Greg but would welcome back James any day.
How many Packer free agents have gone on to better careers elsewhere in the TT era? Can't be many.

NOOOOO!!!!! Lattimore is as important as Rolle.
So'oto was better than either of them. Thanks Ted.
Two words: Ruvell Martin
None of them are as important to GB's future as Tori Gurley.
You mean Gillette.
I'm not sure how the GBP have been to move on without those players. Jumal Rolle was a difference maker.
One day, the Packers fan all Oneida team will win it all.
Nobody is saying Rolle's a difference maker, but he played fairly well for the Texans and it would be nice to still have him around.
There will be another Jumal Rolle here in about 6 weeks.
Jennings is all about Greg Jennings. His wanting to reconcile is just another way of spinning his choice to go elsewhere into making it seem like GB jettisoned him. His comment "a quarterback would be nice" is self-serving because it implies that his numbers are low due to the Vikings' QBs, and with those words he tosses his now-former teammates under the bus. It doesn't matter that the Viking QBs were/are terrible; if you have any class, you don't publicly diss your former teammates. Jennings is all about Jennings.

It's a coin flip at the bottom or the roster, just like Charles Johnson. Considering the horse**** season when Rodgers was dinked up, I'll take 3 QBs. Flynn and Tolzien? Ehh, but at least they weren't throwing **** at the wall trying to make it stick like that failed season where nobody had experience in the system.
Bottom of the roster, you churn some up and can't keep them all and teams that suck at personnel will pick some off.
I like the fact they have Joe Whitt.
What's up with Raji? The Packers needed to keep cap space open until the Cobb, Bulaga, Williams and House deals were all done and when that happened I figured Raji would be the first name that would pop up. But during the last few days I haven't heard squat about him, not in regards to the Packers or any other NFL team. Has there been any word on Raji during the last few days?
Some interesting tidbits from McGinn in a JSO chat today. Posting the ones I found most interesting.
http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/296484581.html
... A: Bob McGinn - [Tramon] Williams was a puzzler. He didn't want to move. He really liked it here. He struggled with his decision to the bitter end. But he had a problem when House, his former teammate, got a $6.25M average from Jax and the Packers would only go to $5M for him (I'm told the GBP did go up to $5.2M for him at the end before calling it quits). Williams said consistently that he regarded himself as the best athlete on the team. Confidence like that is why he succeeded in a storybook career. Certainly he considers himself a much better player than House; that was obvious by who played in GB. The Packers liked House, but also viewed him something of a tease...
... A: Bob McGinn - The Packers drafted [Casey] Hayward in the second round three years ago. You don't take a player in the second round if you don't think he'd be ready to step up and be a starter in Year 4. If the Packers draft as well as some fans think, they will plug him in and not miss a beat. Cornerback doesn't look to have more than one sure-fire first-round prospect, and after Kenosha's Trae Waynes ran that 4.35 in Indy he will be well beyond the Packers' clutches at 30. GB might always trade up. If the Packers remain at 30, hard telling now if there's another CB worth taking... Q. Hi Bob, will Tolzein be an adequate #2 qb or should they look elsewhere? Other than potential, I have not seen enough yet from him; am I wrong? A: Bob McGinn - They are looking elsewhere. Not in free agency, in the draft. The Packers want to draft a quarterback, and if it happens in the first three or four rounds that player will be No. 2 and Tolzien might not be here. His signing bonus was just $100,000. I liked what Tolzien did in late 2013 and August 2014, but only the Packers now if they think that's good enough to win games now and in the future... Q: Looks to me that we have holes galore on the defensive side of the ball. We went from being an average defense at the end of last year to below average as we stand now. We have 21 million to spend but precious little to spend it on... Am I overreacting? Do you see any way for the defense to be improved over last years crew by opening day? A: Bob McGinn - Removing AJ Hawk from the field is an enormous plus. I'm not kidding. He played 875 of the 1,222 def snaps in 18 games last year.
When the Packer's first round pick comes up I'd guess there will be 1 ILB, 2 DTs and 2 CBs (or some similar mess) available that all have the same grade on Ted's board and he won't pick a cornerback. As McGinn mentioned, they went way up on their offer for Shields but this off-season they didn't bend very much on offers to Williams and House. That tells me Ted has more confidence in Heyward and Hyde and is comfortable with those guys as the #2 and #3 cornerbacks. I don't think the staff is too concerned with the prospect of having to play more zone coverage in the defensive backfield if necessary. I also think Ted will see ILB and DT as being a bit sketchy past round one but there are plenty of cornerbacks that will appeal to him in later rounds.
Like Wolf, Ted has placed a premium on height when it comes to defensive backs (legit 5-11+) and up until the last couple of seasons drafted height and speed (and probably the only reason he went away from that is because there were a couple of drafts that lacked good height/speed combination defensive backs...and when that happened he picked height over speed). Look at what could be available after round one in this draft (numbers from the combine):
Trae Waynes, Kevin Johnson, Jalen Collins, Marcus Peters, P.J. Williams, Quinten Rollins all virtual locks to be drafted before Packer's second round pick
Round Two possibilities
-Alex Carter/Stanford - 6-0 1/8, 4.51 40-yard dash
-Byron Jones/Connecticut - 6-0 5/8, 4.48 40-yard dash estimate (did not run at Combine)
-Josh Shaw/Southern California - 6-0 1/2, 4.44 40-yard dash
Round four possibilities
-Eric Rowe/Utah - 6-0 3/4, 4.45 40-yard dash (played safety and cornerback)
-Craig Mager/Texas State - 5-11 1/2, 4.44 40-yard dash
Round five possibilities
-Justin Cox/Mississippi State - 6-0 5/8, 4.36 40-yard dash (played safety as senior, cornerback as junior...he's more of a safety IMO but it's not unreasonable that he'd be drafted as a big, developmental CB)
Later
-Damien Swann/Georgia - 6-0, 4.5 40-yard dash
Those are just some of the names I picked off the combine list, no doubt there will be several more candidates that catch Ted's eye during the pro day workouts. Even when all the round one prospects are taken off the board, there will probably be a dozen pretty attractive size/speed cornerbacks scattered throughout the rest of the draft.
As far as QB, I'm intrigued as to what the Packers might do. McGinn thinks there are going to take one but I'm not so sure. I don't like this class much at all. If I were to guess who Thompson would pick out of the group I'd probably go with Bryan Bennett but they probably wouldn't draft him earlier than round six and even if they did the chances are slim to none that he beats out Tolzien...they'd have to keep 3 QBs with Bennett being the developmental guy.
thank you for the 40 times

Let's see. Rolle had 3 INTs and more than held his own last season.
