He might get released. Should we try to pick him up as insurance for Grant

I wonder why he was benched? The stats aren't bad.

I like him but he is a head case and gets injured more often than most players. I say we stay away

Head case or not, the guy is a beast. Adding him to our backfield with Grant would not only give us security if Grant gets hurt, but make one hell of a 1-2 punch. I would be for it.

this guy would be a good fullback or 1st down guy. I could see him comin in on first and Grant in on 2nd and 3rd. That would give the packers an amazing boost in the running game

He has good hands too so I would definitely bring him in. A year or two ago he was a top 10 fantasy pick in most peoples drafts even so he must have some good skills.

Yeah bring him in. If Grant goes down I don't want to trust in Jackson and a less than 100 percent Morency as my two backs. Jordan is a quality back, who also has good recieving skills.

if anyone knows how, they should try to email ted thompson and tell him to make a run at jordan if hes released. i mean, we r owners of the packers, so our opinions should be valued

No, absolutely not! Terrible idea! This guy is washed up and can't get it done, forget it...

I don't think we should go after him, but how is he washed up? In the beginning of the season(I believe it was the first 5 weeks) he was top 5 in the league in rushing and was on pace to have a career year. Than they benched him and that is when the team started losing.

I believe he got hurt not benched. Than Fargas came in killin' so his carries have been shared.

He's still on the roster. I really don;t see Oakland just cutting him they could get some value for him...I think

that was my thoughts as well. I didn't think that they would just cut him, when there are teams ou there that need help at that position.

I think that his cap number is the main reason why they would consider waiving him. Fargas has proven to be a more effective runner with a similar running style. I think that they will hold onto Jordan until they have a viable running back, but they are paying Jordan too much to let him sit on the bench.

I think that another team picks him off of the waiver wire before he gets to us.
