Snacks now a possibility?

[tynimiller]

100% Gute needs to already have ball rolling

 

[Dantés]

Can they get him up to speed by 7:20 Central?

 

[Favre>Rodgers259]

He pretty much spent the whole season getting back in shape, and now he's ready. I'd let him clear waivers unless he was already playing for Vet Min, which I think he was because his salary was barely over $1M. Let him play against the Bears and see what he can do.

 

[tynimiller]

I've wanted this since well pre season really lol

We don't want the Titans to know what's coming for the rematch in February.

 

[Pokerbrat2000]

Pretty sure he heads to the waiver wire, Packers are what 31st in the Pecking order?

Also, not sure i want what sounds like a spoiled snack on my team if I am Gute.

Minimal to no risk, potentially big reward. Sign me up.

Wasn't he saying no to Green Bay earlier because of weather? Is a fringe starter really worth bringing in an above average crybaby? His best days are well behind him it appears.

 

[lambeaulambo]

anyone is better than lancaster...get a pen ready.

 

[tynimiller]

Let's find some credence to these "crybaby" comments folks. Dude wants to play not set inactive. Is back in shape and had a solid last year. Instantly at worst our best back up.

If he starts crying, cut his ***. Simple.

There's only 13 other teams that would be interested, and I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Buccaneers, Rams, Bears, Ravens, Browns, Bills, and Chiefs are not interested, but I could be wrong.

I agree the Packers should put in a claim for Harrison as it would be a low risk move. I wonder how many snaps he would receive as a run defender if the unit continues to perform like they did against Henry and the Titans though.

If I'm one of the aforementioned teams lower in the pecking order I'm signing Snacks just to block us. But I'm like that.

I do think of all the potential NFC playoff teams, Snacks might benefit the Packers the most. That said, the Bucs and the Cardinals both might be eyeing him to improve as well. The Saints, Bears and the Rams don't need him. I'm not familiar enough with AFC teams to wonder which ones might benefit.

I thought I read that Snacks can/will "Waiver block" a team if he doesn't want to play for them. What that is exactly, I have no clue. Maybe just a phone call saying "I know you picked me up on Waivers, but Im not going anywhere."

Guys like Snacks bother me, he seems to be trying to dictate things more than he should. The Seahawks gave him a job and a lot of money to do it, then he acts like a 5 year old and says he's done because they didn't activate him for a game?

Bothers me too. Other teams were inquiring about him and reportedly were prepared to offer him a contract and he basically said, Nah man, I’m gonna stay with Seattle’s practice squad instead. The moment he’s not activated and he thinks he should be, he balks. Release me, I’m done.

well, there were 2-3 other teams that wanted to put you on their active roster and and you said no. Snacks, I’m not feeling sorry for you.

 

[PackinMSP]

Actually I think DRAFTING another NT type to pair with Kenny Clark would be a better fit at this point in Kenny's career

Harrison isn't really a 6-8 sack type of guy

I'd rather put ANOHTER "young" high motor guy to pair with Kenny Clark on the DL since we are going to keep Gary at the EDGE apparently

Yup and I think when you factor in what you stand to gain VS what you might lose by bringing in a guy with that kind of attitude, it isn't worth it.

While he is probably a bit better than Lowry, Lancaster or Keke, risking losing the chemistry of the team in that slight upgrade isn't worth it in my opinion. Plus, what message are you sending to your players? "We are fine with players that dictate when and who they play for?" That's potentially dropping the wrong apple down the well.

Now if Randall Cobb was suddenly let lose by the Texans, sign me up!

This isn't a debate of the future, this is a sign for playoff run type situation. Not a soul is saying sign him for 2021 yet.

 

[Mondio]

I’m not opposed to checking him out, but I have some significant reservations just how he’s seemingly conducted himself this year and being a FA.

long term he’s nothin any of my plans. If I thought he’d shut up and play hard for the next handful of games he’ll be cheap enough.

THAT would be the determining factor, problem is, what he just did in Seattle is not a glowing mark on his resume. I read that he said something "he doesn't want to play if it means taking a young up and comers spot". That just doesn't make any sense to me, since no matter where he goes, he is taking someone's roster spot and snaps.

Sure, he's taking someone's spot, but if he's a better player and they're not an "up and comer" then I think he's willing to play there. In Seattle is sounds like a difference in opinion. They're starting someone he thinks he should start over, but isn't. So he's on waivers at his request. I'd sign him. Depth for a run is a good idea.

 

[jetfixer]

So good he just got cut, is he as good as Lancaster at this point, I wouldn't bet on it.

 

[AKCheese]

Bring him in Andre Rison got cut too
