One guy did post thing I put below, notice the date was 2 days before the news. But yes, I think everyone was pretty much in the dark. I still wonder if they shopped him or didn't want to rock his boat, knew he wanted to go play with the Raiders and were fine with the compensation of the 2 picks. Can't help to think they might have gotten more for him, but that would rely on him cooperating and agreeing to resign with his new team.
Maybe. I still think there is a good chance GB offense puts up better numbers than LV. I also feel like the Pack has a better chance of making the play offs than the Raiders do.
You don't think LV isn't a soap opera?
Well, we saw just how prepared Amari was for the NFL and he was a 3rd rounder.
What? 3 head coaches within a 12 month time span, releasing the prior years #12 pick for killing someone while drunk driving, and having to cut the other 1st round pick from that same draft a year later because he was waiving guns around and threatening to kill people and crashed a bunch of cars too isn't screaming team of stability to you?You don't think LV isn't a soap opera?
No kidding..I hope they don't reach like that again.
IsitGreg Jennings sister by any chance ?
As I mentioned in another thread, I think they need to trade for 1 or 2, preferably 2, wide receivers. I think that trading for a wr, provided that we don't have to give up too much (no more than 1 or 2 draft picks), is better than the draft because of uncertainty if that player is going to be any good/having to give players time to develop, and free agency because all of the top free agents are either injury-prone or short/mid yardage/slot guys.
Besides the immunized comment and wanting some input on personnel decisions he really hasn't said much.

5 wide receivers Packers should trade for to replace Davante Adams
After trading Davante Adams to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Green Bay Packers should consider trading for one of these wide receivers.lombardiave.com
Of these options, I like DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Brandin Cooks.
Do you think those vet free agent WR's will have deep threat and big playmaking capability? How about being athletic and capable of making difficult catches? I think that we are going to need to sign two WR's like that to replace Adam's production.
Westbrook has hardly played football in the last 2 years. Harris had a second round tag on him with the Saints and they signed him for almost $4M on a 1 year deal.
Agreed. Amari is just confirmation to me that as much as fans want to think it, a rookie WR is probably going to need a year or 2 in the Packer system, before he can possibly flourish. Unless something crazy happens between now and the draft in free agency, I fully expect the Packers to use a first rounder on a WR, for the first time since Javone Walker (2002- pick #20). However, even Walker, with Favre at QB, only had 23 catches on 50 targets for 319 yds and 1 TD in his rookie season. So the Packers probably shouldn't rely on even a first round rookie WR to have a huge impact in year #1.
The 2 positions are also very far apart in what teams are willing to pay. If you believe both guys are the best in the NFL at their perspective positions, Rodgers is almost making double what Davante is.
