As many of us football gurus know, when players threaten to hold out then sign their tenders, they occasionally end up playing for a different team the next season. Guard Daryn Colledge is no different. Prior to the draft, the Packers offered Colledge a second round draft tender and according to reports, he was supposedly furious. Colledge came out and denied his frustration saying he was estatic to receive a second round ...

My bold prediction for the 2010 season: Sam Shields earns special teams player of the year. Yes, I know that Shields is an undrafted rookie and is not even close to being a lock to make the team. But look at his stats, speed, and versatility, you can pretty much determine that Shields could be the undrafted steal of the year. He can also be an option at cornerback. As any Wisconsin ...

This story hits on higher levels than the National Football League could ever become. Life is more precious than anything in existence. That's the dilemma that 24-year-old Jeremy Thompson was recently faced with. The Packers' recently released the once-promising linebacker prospect out of Wake Forest. The release comes on the heels of medical problems that essentially ended his professional career. That left him with two decisions he had to weigh: Retire from football or ...

In my last article, I was entirely against tackle at pick 23. However, I could deal with a guard, well more specifically the Samoan Mauler, Mike Iupati out of Idaho. He is head and shoulders above the rest of the guard prospects in the 2010 draft and would look really good replacing Daryn College at the guard position in 2010.  The Outland Trophy winner and consensus All-American, has great awareness and ...

According to various reports, the Packers are kicking the tires on veteran running back Brian Westbrook. There are many concerns surrounding Westbrook, including his lingering knee and ankle injuries and the concussions that ended his regular season with five games left in 2009. So with those things in mind, is it worth it to sign the nine-year veteran? I think so and I am guessing I'm not alone. The third down back ...

Here's a freak scenario for you: Jimmy Clausen somehow falls to No. 23, which isn't unheard of (see Aaron Rodgers 2005). The Buffalo Bills come calling with a trade offer. Their second round pick (No. 41) and a third round pick (No. 72) for our 23rd overall pick. Knowing that Ted Thompson is a coveter of draft picks, this is quite possible.  In a recent Packers article, the Packers were said to ...

The Packers were a team to be feared coming into the 2009 season. With the Brett Favre shadow almost completely gone, this team was Aaron Rodgers' to lead to supremacy. In the preseason, the team showed a lot of promise and looked to take the NFC North. But with injuries and inconsistency on the O-line, the Packers really struggled in the first eight games, including a loss to the then-winless Tampa ...

Today's Prospect: Kyle Wilson, Cornerback At only 5'10'', he doesn't fit the mold of a prototypical Ted Thompson corner. Thompson's preference is 5'11'' or taller, but in this case I think he should give an inch leeway. His height hasn't hindered his performance much, if at all, in college. Wilson is the 2nd rated CB behind Joe Haden and has the necessary skill set to make a successful leap to the NFL.  Kyle ...
