Packer News: Punters, Rodgers vs. Cassel, and T-Jack

by Brandon on Jul 14, 2009 11:00 PM CDT in Green Bay Packers News

Wake me up when the battle for the starting punting job is over. I don't like either P Jeremy Kapinos or P Durant Brooks and expect the "winner" of the competition will wind up 2009 as one of the worst in the NFL.
What was interesting about the 6 year deal the Chiefs just gave to QB Matt Cassel is that he's guaranteed around $28 million. When the Packers gave QB Aaron Rodgers a 6 year extension, he received about $20 million guaranteed. And Rodgers is much better than Cassel. Rodgers' extension is just another solid contract put together by GM Ted Thompson's staff.
There is no way that the Packers will trade for QB Tarvaris Jackson when he demands a trade. Don't laugh; he might really demand one.

I still think cutting Jon Ryan was a pretty big mistake.

Especially since he was a legit MVP candidate.

hahaha

That was an awesome video…hilarious.

I was a big fan of Ryan’s, and I know he had some down moments, but I was also against cutting him before last season. I think history, or rather Derrick Frost, has vindicated me.

I wish I could get paid to write out of my ass, a la Florio. This is possibly the worst idea I’ve ever heard in my life, and he either completely fabricated it or get it from a “source” who happens to be a wino on the corner of 12th and F.
