Good for Corey! As far as Bubba goes, he was great early on and then lost it real quick but I wish him the best of luck

Flowers is who I want the most in the draft on the defensive side of the ball. I am just enamored with him, and think he would fit the defense perfectly.

Yeah, that's the main reason I thought we'd keep him. I haven't seen anything on how much it's going to cost us yet.

I love to hear Williams is tagged. Now I'm for letting Cole walk, and having Pickett, Jolly, Williams, Harrell, and Muir, in that order.

I'm big fan of Corey. Of course he fits the Tampa 2 better so if a team offers us a good deal we should take it. For example the Bucs and Colts got late first rounders and could really use a DT that's in his prime and is a really good guy and player. A bad team wouldn't trade for him.

I think mid second is the best we can get if we do trade him.

Oh, and 5 bucks says the Vikings sign Franks. :p

Yeah, I've been thinking that for awhile too. Damn Green bay west over here.

Edit: Bubbas cap him with be 3 mil plus 500,000 roster bonus.

Yeah it is because they aren't good at football either...(it's a joke to those who actually live in the area b/c Green Bay West High is awful at football)

umphrey · 02-20-2008, 08:12 PM

He's only 5'10", to play Woodson/Harris's position you need to be 6'0" minimum IMO.

Favre4ever · 02-20-2008, 08:36 PM

From what ive seen this year, between all of our safeties Rouse was the better in coverage by far and the organization knows it. TT made it clear that they needed to put this guy on the field. I dont even remember him getting beat in any of the games he started. His instincts are also way better than the others which allows him to make plays like he did this year. It doesnt matter, Bigby or collins out, Rouse is a starter next year.

Vince Lombardi · 02-20-2008, 08:57 PM

Glad to see Williams tagged. I'd like to see him stick around for awhile so we can keep a strong rotation.

It's sad to see Bubba move on, but as a player he just doesn't cut it any more. Lee is a much better option, it'd be nice to see them get another playmaker TE in the draft to team up with him.

ny10804 · 02-20-2008, 09:08 PM

Assuming we don't trade him - a trade being speculation on my part - hopefully Corey can get some snaps at Kamp's spot on running downs.

Yeah, I liked when we did that. The injuries to Cole and Jolly put an end to it and Kampman's production fell a bit. I'd like to see it even more than we did when they were healthy too.

Who cares how tall he is. I care if he can Jam well in press coverage, cornerstone of the packers cornerbacks.

Franchise tagged players net two first rounders in a trade.

In that video that you were so in love with he never once jammed and his coverage wasn't too good. It was just him making big hits, and it looked like he was in zone a lot. I have some interest in him, but I wouldn't spend a first on him. He'd be a great fit for a cover two team, probably the best cover two corner in the draft. There are guys that fit what we run much better than Flowers does.

That's correct, and there's no way a team's going to give up two firsts for Corey Williams. Like I said one second rounder, probably middle of the round, is the most we likely could get if we look to trade him.

really? i didn't think it was all that surprising. Bubba moves like a turtle maybe more like a sloth and he isnt what he used to be. He was getting paid way to much to be a backup and they probably tried getting him to take a pay cut and he didn't want it so he got cut. You know the Packers wanted Williams and they tried getting a deal done and it didn't happen so he was tagged. I like both moves alot. Our D-line stays really deep which helps the secondary. I wouldnt rule out Williams getting traded but i wouldn't count on it I think the Packers really like what he offers and wont trade him unless its a really good deal. TT likes building with players we already have thats why many free agents havent been brought in while alot of our players have been resigned and giving new deals.

You can't solicit trades with franchised players. I'm not sure if teams can contact you, I'm assuming they can, but I know the Packers cannot make calls.

I don't remember the last time a franchised player has been traded, might be worth looking up.

Suprising move no doubt.

I'd be willing to bet teams would inquire about Corey... Will they actually trade for him? That's a different story.

Champ Bailey? I thought i saw someone post about it. I dont want to trade Williams. Next year, with Jolly and Cole back. Harrell in his 2nd TC, and the rest all back we will have a great Dline
