Just in case you haven't heard, possible chance of Packers offering tender sheet for Jimmy Graham for 2 first rounders.

Interesting thought, you lose out on a possible player like 12 or 52, but also might miss on picks like Sherrod (Who didn't play much), Perry (who hasn't shown anything just yet), Harrell, ect...

So interesting thought, but we need defense. Little fun food for thought today until what, 4 pm?

Edit: With that being said, it won't be done but it's fun to think about since nothing else in Free Agency will be exciting. This time of the year is getting to me.. Miss football!! AHHHHH!!!!
Too many needs on defense to do this, but if the Packers were thinking about getting a TE in the first, well that takes away half the risk, but also what if a guy that was high on your board just drops like Rodgers did, so I mean lots of risks.

It's a non-exclusive tag tho, green bay could if they wanted sign him to an offer sheet which then saints have the option to match the offer or get two first round draft picks in return.

Beast. Idc if he and the organization had some spats, still a big fan. Clearly taken the Ironman status to a new level though.

Rodgers and Matthews already take up almost a quarter of the cap by themselves. Adding the money Graham wants in and we'd be back to looking for players at used car dealerships.

Yoked. Still hard to believe how quick he went gray though.

A lifelong Packers fan. I've watched Packers games since the 70s. Favre is a turd. Was always a turd. Played like a turd. Was NEVER a leader. Was a selfish ego-maniacal self possessed choker. After the 2001 season when he threw SIX... YUP, SIX INTs against St Louis in the playoffs, I WAS DONE WITH HIM. His LOUSY play in the most important games (playoffs) speak to his penchant for choking. He choked ALL HIS CAREER. He had a real affinity for choking in domes, against Dallas, ANY artificial turf, against ANY hard nosed defense, ANY "flavor of the month" team (Dallas, Detroit, Minnesota, Chicago, Tampa, St Louis)... yup, Favre choked against just about every kind situation when it counted. Favre sheep will point to ALL of the unimportant, overrated, NON PLAYOFF games that Favre worked his "magic"... just NEVER when it counted, IN THE PLAYOFFS.

He won a SB so he wasn't always bad in the playoffs. Any Packer fan still mad at Favre is just a bitch.

the general consensus from the people i've polled is they are over it. some even repekt him more for being so defiant with GB and still finding a way to get his way (playing for the Vikings) even when the Packers initially forbade it by putting a tag of 2 first round picks for him iirc.

guy had the biggest balls i've seen. Brett "Ice Veins" Favre

that being said, it was uncanny watching him self-destruct inside of domes. mind-blowing

I think the majority of fans who had negative feelings towards him got over it when Rodgers won the Super Bowl.
