I like him. Always thought he’s been underrated. Can go deep too.

I like DK too but I think the combination of a 2nd rd pick and $30 million contract is too much. If the Seahawks are willing to take Doubs/Wicks and a 3rd, I’d do it.

Could be a DL option

Of all the vet options at receiver I have davante dead last unless it’s with a MASSIVE discount and the pettiness in me would need a Happy Gilmore to Chubbs style apology.

No Davante, DK, Crosby, or Garrett. Maybe we can persuade the Bengals to send us Higgins.

The problem for the Packers is there just aren't many deep threats available. Slayton & MVS might be the only guys in Free Agency left that can fill that role.

Saw this floating around Twitter and love the idea. Liked him during the draft and he'd be an awesome deep threat option. Colts have Pittman, Downs and Mitchell so maybe we could talk them into moving a guy for a pick or something.

Alec Pierce would be a great addition. I have no idea what it would cost in terms of a return but in a vacuum I'd love to have him

Looking into WRs who could potentially fill the Deep threat role that Watson provided last year

Darius Slayton
Dyami Brown
Joshua Palmer
MVS

That's probably the list. None are super exciting but they shouldn't be expensive either. They aren't great but would fit what the Packers need for atleast a season

The Packers don't need crappy one dimensional WRs who only run fast, they need guys who can reliably catch the ball. At this point the draft is the best option, barring a surprise trade. They made the mistake of passing on McConkey last season. Maybe they've learned and take Restrepo this year.

I mean the numbers would disagree with this take. The Packers have consistently scored more when they have one of MVS or Watson playing under MLF.
Last year with Watson they scored over 27 points per game, without him it was less than 20. In the 3 years they've had Watson they've scored about 2.5 more points per game with Watson then without him. They also consistently scored less when MVS wouldn't play before Watson. Having a deep threat is crucial to an offense and even if they don't put up huge numbers themselves, it opens up the field for other guys. If you don't have a deep threat then the defense can condense the field down and make life a lot harder for the other guys.

We'll be spending some money this week. It's going to be very interesting to see the direction Gute goes. Obviously money talks and it's better to pass than overpay. A lot of teams have cap space.

I wouldn’t mind a flier on Dyami Brown. Doesn’t turn 26 until November, has 4.4 speed and kind of showed out in the playoffs last year. Like you said, not super exciting but as a deep threat in the Packers offense I could see him settling in nicely to that role.

So they have massive talent issue or MLF is clueless :lol:

Hi All. Hope everyone is doing well

I am hoping to make it up to the Packers vs Eagles game next year (Big Eagles Fan)

Is there any hope at all of finding wheelchair accessible seats in the 300 section? I know the schedule has not officially even been released yet but want to be on top of it. Don't know if they are purchasable on the third party market and how much the mark-up is going to be on them.

The only time I been up to lambeau was when I won the it from the Packers Drawing and it was an indoor club so had no worries about accessibility. [[also got to be on field before game which was amazing experience coming out of the tunnel before the game]] [[To bad the packers lost it was the TNF two years ago when half the crowd was det lion fans]]

I would like them to sign Brown (WR), Odeyingbo (DE) and Adebo (CB). I don't think paying big money for a WR is worth it.

If Brown means Hollywood Brown he resigned with the Chiefs already.

I would call or email the Packers ticket office 1-866-752-1265 or tickets@packers.com.

I don't know how accessible seats work as far as sales or resale. If you end up buying on the secondary market it won't be cheap. It will also likely be a primetime game.
