I'm sure they turned over a lot of stones. But they didn't find a deal they liked. That's ok.

No one ever made as much sense to me as Mo Sanu, and the Pats paid up to get him. Oh well. Let's get Davante going again and figure it out from there.

The Packers also opened up two roster spots today, releasing Darrius Shepherd and Evan Baylis.

No big surprise there.

Guessing their spots will be taken by Tremon Smith and Ibraheim Campbell.

Funny, was thinking with the draft acumen of Gutes and his staff, those draft picks can be incredibly more valuable. They seem to know what they are doing, without ringing the Rashan Gary bell....

There's Sternberger thrown in the mix too, his clock is ticking on being activated on 53 or shelved on IR for the remainder of the season.

Wait, what!? We didn't give up two 1sts., a 2nd., and MVS to pry DeAndre Hopkins out of Houston's cold dead hands? I simply cannot believe it.

Forgot about Jace and you are probably correct. Smith was already activated, taking Shepherd's spot. So it would make more sense that Jace takes Baylis's roster spot.

Ibraheim Campbell has been practicing since mid October and I think they have 3 weeks from the date he starts, so the Packers are going to have to make a decision on him pretty soon as well.

yes, I think both clocks are ticking to activate or put on the shelf until next year, Though Campbell, if activated won't use one of those IR designations as he was on the PUP and never practiced.

Why? Really? I posted info that he was possibly available - from a media source. Nothing more. Do you have to pound the F out of that? To what purpose exactly?

Actually, I wasn't referencing you specifically. I don't recall who originally posted the Glazer nonsense and I'm not inclined to look it up. But if you like the fit of that shoe go ahead and wear it.

There was some clown who tried to tell me I didn't know how to read that Hopkins was on the block when there was no such report while there were a whole pile of reasons why Houson wouldn't be interested. I don't remember who that was either nor do I want to bother looking for that post. I would hope that wasn't you.

It's not like I remember all the posters positions on any particular issue. In fact, there are few that I do. Unlike like some other passive-aggressive types, if I'm not quoting your post assume I'm not talking to you.

On the matter of media sources, there's :tup:, :whistling:, :sleep: and :poop:, roughly in that order. Most are not worth listening to.

Yup. Not sure if the Packers will use that 2nd IR designation. Only 2 players right now that I can think of, would be Raven Greene or Lane Taylor. But I remember reading Greene was most likely having ankle surgery and his season was done if he did. Not sure about Taylor.

He said that reports that teams have called on Hopkins do not equate to him being on the block. And he was correct.

Who is "he"? There was a clown who told me Houston was interested in a trade. The guy I just responded to just said Hopkins was possibly available according to media reports. Glazer intimated a trade possibility probably because he didn't have anything else to report. I gave a bunch of reasons why none of this made any sense. There is one "he" I can think of who should mind his own business.

But since this nonsense is persisting, I direct you to post #445 and the response in post #454 in the ""Realistic" WR Discussion" thread. "Reading is fundamental" indeed. Maybe Josh Gordon will get claimed on waivers and all will not be for naught. ;)

Lol. C'mon man.

The tweet you quoted was about Glazer reporting two separate things. The Packers were interested in a WR, and that teams were calling Houston about Hopkins. Those were separate reports, not related.

You then responded with, "Glazer should have bothered to ask why Houston would trade Hopkins". I responded to that by saying that Glazer reporting teams had contacted Houston about Hopkins did not mean that Houston would trade Hopkins. Glazer never said that Houston wanted to trade Hopkins. He simply said that teams had called about him.

That is all I was saying. And of course, I was correct.

IIRC from a few years back, some player had until week 11 to be activated from PUP. something about, can't practice for 6 weeks then a three week window plus a 2 week exemption somehow. I'd look for Campbell after the bye.

Here's what you said verbatim:

"Teams have contacted Houston about Hopkins /=/ Houston wants to trade Hopkins

Reading is fundamental."

In the future, if you mean to say "does not equate to" then say it. Don't use some "/ = /" scribbling that I'm supposed to interpret. Reading is fundamental? How about writing is fundamental?

By the way, not all rumors are worth publishing and this Hopkins business was certainly one of those.

HRE, what is this all about?

My own intentions here are simply to talk with other Packer fans about our favorite team, and to share information that I find.

I really appreciate other fans’ perspectives as well, yours included, when they pertain to football...

Sorry for assuming you knew what an incredibly common lexicon was.
