Clusterfuck Update 7/28: Free Agent Deals, Eagles Get Stronger
Jul 28th
Ah, free agency, what an exhausting wench you are. Today, we’ve got three major trades completed, including the one that makes the Eagles the second-best team in the NFC and the Redskins making their usual stupid moves by overpaying some guy who won’t amount to shit.
Clusterfuck Update 7/26: Free Agent Deals And McNabb To Vikings
Jul 26th
Teams can’t officially sign free agents until Friday, but that didn’t stop several players from agreeing to contracts. That, plus the Minnesota Vikings pursuit of Donovan McNabb and Nnamdi Asomugha’s first suitor.
What Pre-Draft Visits Mean For Packers
May 8th
By the look of it, pre-draft visits mean absolutely nothing for the Green Bay Packers. The Packers brought around 20 players in for pre-draft visits, although that number could be more, since the team isn’t required to report them. They also worked out a few players at other sites. In all, each organization is allowed [...]
Where Are They Now? Packers’ Draft Busts: 1990-1999
Apr 7th
The Green Bay Packers have had their share of draft busts over the years. Some have been epic (Tony Mandarich), while others have snuck out of town almost unnoticed (Terrence Murphy). Well, thankfully we’re here to dredge up your past failures, point our gnarled, crooked, judgmental fingers at you and cackle. For you’ve shamed the [...]
Where Are They Now? Packers’ Draft Busts: 2000-2010

Packers Get Fourth-Round Compensatory Pick
Mar 26th
The Green Bay Packers got something for Aaron Kampman after all. The Packers received a fourth-round compensatory pick for losing Kampman in free agency last year. The NFL doles out draft picks for teams who lose more free agents than they sign and everyone knows the Packers don’t sign anyone, so the loss of Kampman, who signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, landed them a pretty decent draft pick.
Sound Familiar? Kampman Tears ACL, Out For Year
Nov 12th
For the second year in a row, former Green Bay Packers and current Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Aaron Kampman tore his ACL and will miss the remainder of the season. Last November, Kampman tore his ACL in the Packers’ victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Yesterday, Kampman tore his ACL in practice. It’s unclear whether [...]
Packers Bring Back Anthony Smith
Oct 18th
The Green Bay Packers traded a conditional seventh-round pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars for safety Anthony Smith, on Sunday. This will be Smith’s second tour with the Packers. The team signed him as a free agent prior to last season, but he was among the final roster cuts. Smith has started three games for Jacksonville [...]
In Case You Missed It: Aaron Kampman Still Has A Little Left
Sep 18th
We had pretty strong suspicions before, but it’s now clear Aaron Kampman was badly miscast as an outside linebacker with the Green Bay Packers. Kampman never took to the move from defensive end and had only 3.5 sacks before going down with a torn ACL in game nine, last season. Kampman signed with the Jacksonville [...]
Justin Harrell Will Never Be The Biggest Bust In The 2007 Draft
Jul 21st
No, that honor will go to No. 1 overall pick JaMarcus Russell, who was dumped by the Oakland Raiders after three seasons and will go down as one of the all-time great busts. Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Just Harrell is in the next group, though. Harrell is one of nine of the 32 players [...]
New Throwbacks – Whose Is Best?
May 8th
We showed you the Green Bay Packers’ new throwback uniforms, a modified version of the team’s 1929 uniforms, which they’ll wear for one or two games TBD during the 2010 season. The Packers aren’t alone in joining the throwback craze in 2010, though. The Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles will also join the trend. The [...]
Packers Get Lucky, Bulaga Falls To No. 23
Apr 22nd
With all the talk of trading up or trading down, the Green Bay Packers got lucky in the end with Iowa left tackle Bryan Bulaga falling to the team as they stood pat at No. 23. There was word earlier in the day that Packers’ GM Ted Thompson was considering trading up to grab Bulaga, [...]
Packers Could Trade Up And Who They Might Land
Apr 20th
One thing we haven’t discussed in relation to this week’s NFL Draft is the possibility of the Green Bay Packers trading up. The reason we haven’t discussed it is because Packers’ general manager Ted Thompson has only traded up twice in his five years on the job. He did, of course, move up last year [...]
Packers Made A Mistake Not Trading Kampman
Apr 8th
Back in October 2009 we suggested the Green Bay Packers could be listening to offers for Aaron Kampman. Ultimately, Packers’ general manager Ted Thompson didn’t make a move and he’s given no indication there were any offers for Kampman or, if there were, what those offers might have been. This offseason, Kampman signed with the [...]
Kampman Thanks Packers, Fans
Mar 20th
No one can say Aaron Kampman isn’t a classy guy. Kampman, who signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars early in free agency, took out an ad in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel thanking the Green Bay Packers, fans and the community. It reads, in part: It’s been an honor to serve this community for the past eight [...]
Kampman Signs With Jaguars
Mar 7th
Aaron Kampman is now a former member of the Green Bay Packers after agreeing to a contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars early Sunday morning, according to Jacksonville.com. Length and terms of the contract haven’t been announced, but Kampman, who is returning from reconstructive knee surgery, likely received a similar deal to the four-year, $26 million [...]
Day Two Free Agency Update
Mar 6th
Although it will be quieter today than it was yesterday, we’ll again keep running updates throughout the day with the latest news at the top of the page. Check out the day one free agent rundown here. ———- OK, the Aaron Kampman saga continues to get weirder. The Eagles have refuted the report below that [...]
No One Wants to Coach in Chicago
Jan 14th
Well, maybe not no one – Chicago Bears’ coach Lovie Smith probably still wants to coach there, but he hasn’t exactly been given a recipe that’s likely to result in success. After firing half of his staff, simply because the Bears’ organization was too cheap to do what they really wanted to do and fire [...]
Vikings Lose Los Angeles As Leverage In Stadium Battle
Jan 7th
The Minnesota Vikings lost some big-time leverage in its quest for a new stadium. The company behind the plan to lure the NFL back to Los Angeles announced Tuesday that the Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills will be the first teams it will try to relocate. Majestic Realty Co. managing partner John Semcken said the [...]
Should There Be Penalties For Sitting Starters?
Dec 30th
Although the Indianapolis Colts are at the center of this discussion after they pulled the plug early against the New York Jets on Sunday, the Green Bay Packers very much factor into the conversation because, as we’ve discussed, Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals could very well be meaningless for the Pack. It brings up [...]
