Can we interest them in another GB QB? One lightly used Malik Willis for a 2nd sounds good

Read on Twitter

Right on, at some point this season we'll all be able to sit back and say,

Whoa, headed for the Super Bowl, hard to believe not a single NFL defensive player has laid a glove on Jordan Love all season! Untouched! This late in the season! Testament to the NFL-dominating Travis Glover and kadeem Telford! [*apologies TG, KT]

Srsly, how long without taking a serious hit. How long? half a season? three games? half a game. One series.

Just pay Malik Willis and then watch it pay off.

Also, you know what Gute will do with an extra 2nd round pick as well as everyone else here. He'll draft a relatively unknown qb who while promising is totally unable to fill in due to being as unready as Michael Pratt, what with zero experience and having proven nothing on an NFL field. Unlike Willis.

And it'll cost us.

You want to pay Willis to stay in Green Bay and be a back up? Unless he plays in regular season games this year and looks terrible he is going to get more than the Packers can afford to pay. Very few teams can afford to pay a back up good money unless you have either a journeyman starting QB or a QB on a rookie contract. Also there is no chance Gute would use a 2nd round pick on a QB next year unless Love had a serious injury.

I am fine letting Willis play out the season and hopefully signing a big contract somewhere and the Packers get a nice comp pick. I would also trade him for a 2nd right now and maybe a third. MLF had a great game plan for Willis so he didn't have to do much. Plus it was against a couple of bad teams.

Would you all trade Doubs and like a 3rd for Terry?

Give him a 3 year $90 mil deal? He is 29 and right at peak potential.

No. He's old. That means it's all downhill. Pack's MO since time immemorial is to sign 'em on the upswing. I mean sure, go find anybody if you're handing out $30 mil a year willy-nilly, all arbitrary-like, and for what advantage exactly? Okey then, if you're dead=set on throwing away money. OTOH, Doubs requires zero onboarding, knows the system inside-out, and needs no special hand-holding to get up-to-speed, handling his clutch 3rd down work when his number's called like the mr. reliable *pro* that he is. Why? WHY dink around with a recipe that works? after working year after year putting together the pieces? Who's Terry supposed to take snaps from? Golden? Wicks, Watson, Williams? You've already GOT 'yer' 1st round WR draft pick, but you want more, so maybe Terry can start ahead of Golden. That'll go over well.

Packers are under no obligation to do it that way. Keep him as long as we can, pay him what we can; gifting him to rival teams is reckless and dumb. Minimizing how well he played, and going out of your way to make excuses for denying how well he played, is a good way to lose a lotta football games for no reason. By that kinda asinine logic, give away ALL our players because SURE they played good, but guess what, Matt LaFleur drew up plays for all of them.

So pay him to be a player that hopefully never sees the field. Good call

Also unless Willis sees the field and looks like absolute garbage why would he want to return as a backup instead of signing with a team he has a chance at starting for?

Unless he plays and looks like crap hes gone after this season. Wrap your head around it cause hes most likely gone after this season

And who the **** said anything about "gifting him to a rival team"? He suggested a day 2 pick. That's hardly gifting him away. That's fetching a hell of a return on investment. And exactly when did the **** Jets (and AFC team mind you) become a "rival"? For Christ's sake if they could get a 2nd from a team for him they damn sure better take it

And finally it wasn't too long ago that Willis looked like a guy who was going to be out of the league untill MLF got a hold of him and created a gameplan to make him into a guy who was able to steady the ship for a few weeks. He absolutely deserves credit and it absolutely is valid to be skeptical of how he'd look if needed to be relied on for a much larger portion of the season

"Pay him and watch it pay off". I can't believe someone actually posted that with such certainty about a backup QB who quite literally only has less then a handful of games under his belt where hes looked like a legitimate NFL QB

Im actually of the camp that doesn't want to trade him and just get the comp pick next season but good **** lord if some team wants to send us a 2nd or a 3rd im helping pack his bags

Unless Willis has to come in and absolutely balls out, I doubt he's getting a look as a starter next year. He was asked to do extremely little as Love's backup, and if there was an actual market for him I doubt the Packers would have said no to a day two pick.

Dont get me wrong I dont think anyone is going to sign him to be their guaranteed starter. But id still be shocked if he doesn't go to a team where the position is in doubt so he can at least compete for the job

With the Packers having so many guys to re-sign I can't imagine there being any real chance of them bringing back Malik. He's a good backup but not someone worth breaking the bank over. If his market doesn't pan out in free agency then I'd love to bring him back as Love's backup. That said I expect he'll want to go somewhere where he at least has a chance(even if just a minimal one) of playing. I also kinda wanna see him do it again before I truly believe. Last year he beat the Colts(in a run dominated game plan), the Titans, & the Jaguars. Not exactly a murderers row of teams. He performed poorly vs the Bears in week 18

[jakecronus8]

I'm just not trading Willis. At all. They want to win a championship and he can win games and keep you alive/in postseason contention if Love misses time. Not worth gambling for a future mid pick.

I didn't know this was stull used, Kittle is upset. He joked about retiring but he does use them before every drive.

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle interrupted teammate Fred Warner's interview on NFL Network Tuesday afternoon to break some news that has left him upset with the league.

Kittle crashed the set to "air a grievance" that the league informed teams on Tuesday morning via a memo that it has prohibited the use of ammonia and smelling salts before and during all NFL games.

According to the memo, beginning this season, teams are prohibited from "providing or supplying ammonia in any form." That includes ammonia capsules, inhalers, ammonia in a cup and any form of "smelling salts." It applies to the entirety of a game, including pregame activities and halftime, and applies in the locker room and on the sideline.

The memo says the ban comes as a result of FDA warnings that were issued in 2024.

"In 2024, the FDA issued a warning to companies that produce commercially available ammonia inhalants (AIs), as well as to consumers about the purchase and use of AIs, regarding the lack of evidence supporting the safety or efficacy of AIs marketed for improving mental alertness or boosting energy," the memo says. "The FDA noted potential negative effects from AI use. AIs also have the potential to mask certain neurological signs and symptoms, including some potential signs of concussion.

"As a result, the NFL Head, Neck and Spine Committee recommended prohibiting the use of AIs for any purpose during NFL play."

A few hours after that memo was received in San Francisco, Kittle popped into an NFL Network set at the team's facility while Warner was talking about the upcoming season.

"I honestly just came up here to air a grievance," Kittle said. "Our team got a memo today that smelling salts and ammonia packets were made illegal in the NFL, and I've been distraught all day."

Kittle went on to say that he is a regular user of smelling salts, taking them for a boost of energy before every offensive drive, noting, "I miss those already."

The ninth-year tight end went on to joke that the memo was upsetting enough for him to think about calling it a career.

"I considered retirement," Kittle said, jokingly. "We have got to figure out a middle ground here, guys. Somebody help me out. Somebody come up with a good idea. That's all I had to get out there. Get that off my chest."

[Mags FTW]

Reminds me of the stories Chmura tells about him, Favre, etc. all chewing some kind of root or something before every game and getting "chinged up".

Listened to Mason Crosby's show... they bashed the smelling salt ban without even knowing the details, similar to all the meatheads like kittle. Then turned on dan patrick and they explained that the teams just can't provide them and that smelling salts have been studied and they can mask concussion symptoms. glad i was able to listen to the informed before crying about the no fun league and smelling salts.
