Do the packers pursue Kenny stills?

Highly unlikely seeing as how we’ve handled the WR position this year. I’m content with Adams, Lazard and MVS. Wouldn’t hurt to add a vet like Stills into the mix but I don’t really think he fits the mould

Between the RBs catching balls, Tae, 🦎 and fumblerooski at WR and Big Dog, Tonyan and Jace at TE, there are enough pass catchers. Just a bad second half against a top defense. Really odd considering the first half and no in-game adjustments for us.

Gotta believe they can tighten up over the next few weeks before we start thinking of playoff matchups

Labeling Lewis and Sternberger pass catcher is a pretty big stretch. Lewis is basically a Tackle who happens to wear a number in the 80s, they bring him in to run block. Sternberger is nothing special either. Tonyan has had a nice year though so far and could become one of the better receiving TE's in the NFL soon. Lazard is still hurt to the point he's limited in practice and games, so counting on him should be taken with caution because some players can take awhile to heal from core injuries.

They are bringing in Tavon Austin for a workout. Not sure if they would use him as a WR much or if they would just use him as returner. He would definitely add some more speed in the slot if he got some reps at WR.

I don't see how it would hurt. He would only be signed until the end of the year so the risk is minimal with a potential solid gain to the WR group.

Jace hasn't really had any time on the field apart from this season, so I wouldn't write him off so quickly. He's in a crowded space on the roster and DeGuara isn't even on the active roster right now. They can catch a red zone pass and as any GB fan knows in the not-so-distant past we had horrendous red zone efficiency, so I'll take that over not having an additional person to throw to. Definitely not getting much volume this year.

That's been one of his issues is availability and it may stick with him his whole career. Dropping passes didn't help but at this point I doubt he'll ever catch Tonyan on the depth chart so at best he will be TE2 during his time in GB so he'll always see reduced snaps.

Good reassurance for Ervin who can’t seem to stay healthy this season :( he’s a surprisingly big asset to the playcalling on top of his special team contributions

Yeah I was worried when Swerv wasn't available but little did I know how much of an impact he was. It's actually insane how much difficulty we've had finding an impact return man over the years.
