IMO, Driver seems to be a bit overconfident in his own future. I seem to be the only packer fan that thinks resigning Driver this year is a mistake.
And for Mickey who thinks Jones didn’t seperate himself; he did, from Driver. Jones is a much better reciever.

Driver will not be cut he will be there for veteran leadership and to mentor the young receivers. If there is one veteran who will be traded or cut loose it will be James Jones. He has had 3 years to separate himself and to be a go to receiver but he hasnt.

Great man on AND off the field. His time may well be up, and GB management will show someone the door, just ask Brett Favvvera. In Ted We Trust.

Donald Driver is a STUD and can easily play for at least two more years. He’ll get another ring or two and then retire.

MAybe you didn’t see him on DWTS. Dude is ripped. And you can make fun of him all you want, but Champions are Champions, no matter what the contest.

It’s a tough business and Ted Thompson is not a sentimental guy, nor is Mike McCarthy. I think DD will be cut in training camp this year in time for him to sign with another team, if that is what he wants. No room for playing favorites with the young talent the Packers have at WR.

That’s right, heaven, I’m not so sure that Christian Ponder is much better than Graham Harrell – although I sure hope he is.

Sounds like a little bit of envy there #7. Perhaps you should be concerned about just finding a legitimate starter.

Maybe they should spend less time on signing an over-the-hill wide receiver and more time finding a backup quarterback.

DD is the epitomy of class, but I don’t see how there’s any room to keep him THIS season. There were a few teams that tired to sign Gurley and Borel off the practice squad last year, and the Packers gave them minimum roster salaries, which are much, much higher than PS salaries.

Say what you want, but the Packers’ scouting staff for acquiring receivers who can be developed, is just simply beyond ridiculous good.

I love DD, but with so many young and talented receivers, I don’t see a spot for him on the roster in 2013. I hope he hangs them up after this year instead of trying to play for another team in the future.
