Toss in Moss and it's a deal!

That should be in their Chamber of Commerce brochures.
Packers denied permission to interview John Schneider; could still pursue trade
Latest from Demovsky. He appears to be the preferred choice of many in the organization.
It's all about 'fit'.
Murphy, McCarthy's puppet?
I thought we didnt "have to" give that 2nd Rounder for Holmgren, but we did anyway? It was a promotion for Holmy - from OC to Head Coach.
????????
I still don't like the idea of giving up a #2 for Schneider. Offer a #3 and a #5 with Seattle giving us back their #4.
Jared Bush, a ham sandwich and a 7th should get it done.
Interesting last few days. I think this is the sequence.
News about the 3 internal candidates.
McCarthy says 'fit' with GM is important about elevnty-billion times
Reported that Ball is likely the guy
Rumor McCarthy would leave if Ball gets the job
Packers were interested in Reggie, but denied access
Word is Rodgers is not too keen about Ball either
Packers request, but denied, to speak with Schneider
From the piece:
The Packers also could argue that they should be allowed to interview Schneider because the job could be viewed as a promotion, since Schneider and Seahawks coach Pete Carroll share responsibilities in player acquisition. In Green Bay, the general manager has full authority over all football decisions, including the draft, free agency and hiring and firing of the coach.
Really like to see the organization press this line of argument. Now isn't the time to be timid.

Other possibility is a trade.
Jesus **** Tom, way to be on the cutting edge. Some of us mentioned a trade possibility for Schneider several days ago already. Our local media is pretty limited.

Bush would have been a godsend this year!
Count me in for being on the Schneider Bandwagon.

Give Tom a break. There’s a lot going on and X4’s traffic has been heavy as of late. Tom got a little behind on the threads. The “trade” comment means he’s catching up.

Ditto for the ham sandwich.
How embarrassing to have to "trade" for a GM. That's very Browns-ish.
What a dysfunctional franchise.

Yeah but we know how precious draft picks are to some. Guessing if they can get Schneider by offering a promotion, he's our new GM. If Seattle wants compensation for Schneider then Wolf is more probable.
If Schneider wants to come to GB and is being denied, he should inform SEA ownership he is trading all 2018 draft picks to GB for Brett Hundley.

Those 4 SB trophies in the case at 1265 really do spell that out. Wish we could be like a franchise with none. 4 trophies are an embarrassment.
I suppose it beats not having a GM at all. That was the model Minnesota operated with until Spielman came along, after all.
Vikings are still operating without a GM.

Got any John Hadl trade stories?
Hadl trade didn’t set another franchise up for a decade of success.

Same franchise that did a trade to get Holmgren?

John Hadl traded to Packers (1974). This trade doomed the Packers to nearly two decades' worth of despair while concurrently aiding the Rams' run as one of the powerhouse teams of the 1970s. The Packers, desperate for help at quarterback and figuring a veteran signal-caller was all that the team ...
Why didn't the Rams enjoy MORE success with those picks?
Because they often lost to the Vikings in the playoffs.

At least trade for a real football player, not a gotdamn pharmacist.

Yeah...ahh...that was already mentioned in the quotes. Follow along.
And the great mighty Viking franchise couldn't learn from a trade made by the Packers years prior, talk about stupid.
By the way, is this how bandwagon fans have to be invited to a real Viking forum by having to come to a Packer forum to learn the ropes?
Enjoy your season Vikings fans. You know the stars aligned to give you this shot. your one shot. Normalcy returns next year when you are back to blaming the nfl and refs for the conspiracy against the vikings and for the packers. Your crying about the refs is classic as much as it is pathetic.

FTFY
Well, at least the Hadl trade didn't serve as the basis for a 30-for-30 film, The Great Trade Robbery. And Walker had all of four 100-yard games with the Vikings to Emmitt Smith's five in his first 18 games. Was the Hadl trade awful? Absolutely. Was it epic and still discussed today as the worst trade in history? Nope, that "distinction" goes to the Vikings. Just own it.
What happened to gb interviewing decosta?
All the dissatisfaction over the Dorsey miss can be laid to rest, we already have that playoff defense he assembled in KC.
Gutenkunst reportedly interviewing for the Texans GM job tomorrow. Wolf has had a few GM interviews over the past few years. I'm not aware of Russ f'ing Ball having any GM interviews outside of GB. I wonder why that is?
The dynamic duo of TT and Murphy is going to fukk this all up.
