I would be fine with Thielen, but he’s already mulling retirement. Not sure if he even stays if he’s going to be willing to start over somewhere new again at his age.
I actually don't want Thielen either. I want that type of WR who worked his **%**#** off to be a good WR, is a veteran with a strong head on their shoulder, and still has some tread on the tires. That's the kind of player that our WR group needs as a mentor.

Think of it like training in your new hunting dog with the old hunting dog. Right now we've got a pack of puppies running around, scaring all of the ducks, but never quite doing the job 100%.

Agree. As long as that old dog, doesn't think he's top dog. The Packers need to find a Charles Woodson type of guy at WR and CB. Maybe not at the top of their game the last few seasons, but know how to play with professionalism and hard work, which rubs off on the younger guys. Even Woodson improved on his previous seasons when he became a Packer. Probably reinvigorated him.

While I have said I don't think Davante will be back in GB, on the right deal, he would make an excellent addition to the receiver room. I just don't think GB is a place he wants to land again, mainly due to his family.

I wouldn't rule out 32 year old DeAndre Hopkins for the Packers.

I'd be fine with Davante if it was a good deal for everyone. That someone is out there. It's all about whether Gutekunst is willing to make the moves to clear up a roster spot and spend the cash on a veteran.

We definitely don't need Stefon Diggs.

Agree on Diggs. Once very talented, but it sounds like he isn't a locker room guy that you want. Gute is smart enough to not bring guys like Diggs to GB.

Nothing too earth shaking in Gutes final press conference. He did stress that the Packers might be young, but that doesn't mean they aren't experienced.
