Clay Matthews and Nick Perry were his only first rounders there and both have had dominant seasons, so I'd say yes. Don't expect Ted to have another year leading the draft if we end up with a top 12 pick anyway, but that might just be wishful thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOnlyThing Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 A trade of or for a legitimate NFL player by the Packers? Seriously? The Packers have not made such a trade in what, over a decade now? Sure there have been the wink and a nod we'll send you a 7th rounder if the guy is on the roster for 4 weeks deals (Knile Davis, Jayrone Elliott), but a genuine trade involving a player? It does not happen under Ted's watch. I recall the explanation from some used to be that trades just did not happen in the NFL so Green Bay's trading inactivity was just the norm. However, after it was repeatedly pointed out that trades do occur and have been occurring with increasing frequency, and that the Patriots have made more trades than any other franchise in the NFL since Ted took over (including ones involving Cooks, Brissett, and Garoppolo just this year), we don't see this "explanation" so often any more. Now, the reason folks insist Ted has not made any trades is ... Actually, I don't really know what the company line is any more to excuse, I mean explain, his inactivity. Perhaps we're about to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
{Family Ghost} Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 I doubt anything happens, but things seem a little different in how the GB brass went about their business this offseason. There was a much heavier emphasis on bringing in free agents .. who knows, maybe a trade isn't as far fetched as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacReady Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I think it's entirely possible we could have made a trade this year based on how we've acted as FG alluded to, but with Rodgers hurt, I doubt we do anything. No help is coming, but I wouldn't be entirely shocked if some help left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norm Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Why do it with Rodgers hurt? If there was ever a time not to bother this is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You assume we'd be buyers? I'd be selling since Rodgers is hurt. This year is more than likely over when it comes to playoff hopes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else like Cobb or Clay we're just giving away for nothing at this point. Nothing we can get will amount to much to me. I'd take something if we could get value, don't think we can.

jontat83 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Like others have said if we are going to do anything it should be as sellers, we are not doing anything this season not without Rodgers and not with this defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than any compensation we’d get in return. Like to see us deal for draft ammo. what do you mean by retire and collect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
