Packers acquire compensatory pick with loss of Hayward

February 25, 2017 By Bill Scott

Casey Hayward

The Green Bay Packers were awarded a fifth-round draft pick in the upcoming 2017 NFL draft, as compensation for the loss of defensive back Casey Hayward in free agency last year.

The selection will be the 39th of the fifth round and the 184th overall.

Hayward signed with the San Diego Chargers for three years, receiving a deal just over $15 million.  In 14 starts, Hayward had a league best seven interceptions and earned a pro bowl berth.

The NFL awarded a total of 32 compensatory draft choices were awarded to 16 teams.

For the first time this year, teams can use compensatory draft picks in trades.

Packers lose free agent Hayward to Chargers

March 14, 2016 By Bill Scott

The Green Bay Packers lost their second free agent of the weekend when cornerback Casey Hayward signed a three-year deal with the San Diego Chargers worth slightly more than $5 million per season and includes just short of $7 million in guaranteed money.

The Packers made no attempt to re-sign Hayward because they already have excellent depth at the position.  Issues with Hayward’s tackling and speed have also become of concern.

Hayward was also reportedly negotiating with San Francisco and Kansas City, but the Chargers won the bidding war.

The additions last season of Damarious Randall and Quinten Rollins have the Packers well-stocked on the outside along with starter Sam Shields.  The Packers also have Micah Hyde, Robertson Daniel, LaDarius Gunter and Demetri Goodson in a reserve role.

The Packers also lost free agent quarterback Scott Tolzien to Indianapolis.  Tolzien gets a two-year deal with the Colts and moves up second year quarterback Brett Hundley into the backup position behind Aaron Rodgers.

Packers not likely to use franchise tag on Crosby

March 1, 2016 By Bill Scott

Mason Crosby

Mason Crosby

The deadline for NFL teams to use their franchise-and-transition tags is three this (Tuesday) afternoon.

Mason Crosby is the only potential Green Bay Packers player to get tagged, as he’s about to enter free agency for the second time in his career.

If Crosby does receive a franchise tag, he would get a one-year deal worth nearly $4.6 million, giving the Packers more time to set up a long-term contract.

None of the other Packers free agents, including nose tackle B.J. Raji, cornerback Casey Hayward and linebacker Mike Neal, appear to be candidates for a tag. [Read more…]

Williams signs 3-year deal with Cleveland

Tramon Williams

Tramon Williams

The Green Bay Packers cornerback position has thinned out considerably after free agent Tramon Williams celebrated his 32nd birthday by signing a new 3-year deal worth $21 million with the Cleveland Browns.

Williams spent eight previous seasons with the Packers, arriving in Green Bay as an undrafted rookie and spending his first season on the teams practice squad.

Over the past five seasons, Williams started 79 of a possible 80 games.  He tied a franchise record with three interceptions during the 2010 postseason that ended with the Packers winning their latest Super Bowl title. [Read more…]

Packers could be without starting corners on Sunday

Mike McCarthy

Both Tramon Williams (ankle) and Sam Shields (knee) didn’t practice for a second straight day on Thursday and their status for Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers is in doubt.

Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy told reporters on Thursday that there was no change in the two players’ status from Wednesday.  Then, he said Williams was ahead of Shields in recovering from their injuries.

The Packers don’t practice today, but will work tomorrow before facing the Panthers on Sunday.

Defensive end Datone Jones (ankle) also didn’t practice on Thursday after trying to give his ankle a go on Wednesday.  Mike McCarthy said, “He made some progress at practice Saturday, but it’s not coming along.”

If Shields and Williams are unable to play Sunday, Davon House and Casey Hayward would take their place in the starting lineup. [Read more…]

Jones sidelined by quadriceps injury

Among the Green Bay Packers injuries that were announced on Sunday, linebacker Brad Jones suffered aquadriceps injury in the Packers 31-21 win over the Oakland Raiders.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Jones would miss Green Bay’s final exhibition game against the Kansas City Chiefs this Thursday night at Lambeau Field.

If Jones isn’t ready to go for the season opener against Seattle, Jamari Lattimore would replace him in the 3-4 base defense and Sam Barrington could take his spot in the dime.

Casey Hayward

Defensive back Casey Hayward returned to practice on Sunday.  He missed practice last week, as well as Friday night’s preseason game against Oakland.  Mike McCarthy said the Packers are being careful with Hayward after his hamstring problems in 2013.

Rajion Neal

Mike McCarthy also said running back Rajion Neal (knee), who performed well in the preseason opener at Tennessee, won’t likely be ready in time for the final preseason game on Thursday against Kansas City.

McCarthy is optimistic that Matthews could play on Sunday

October 3, 2013 By Bill Scott

Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews practiced in pads this afternoon, which means there’s a good chance he’ll be available to play against

Clay Matthews

Clay Matthews

the Detroit Lions (3-1) on Sunday at Lambeau Field.

Packers coach Mike McCarthy said Matthews looked good, adding that he took a step today.

Second year defensive back Casey Hayward has already been ruled out for Sunday’s game as he continues to rehab his injured hamstring, but Hayward was out on the practice field in full pads today as well.  Hayward missed the first three weeks of training camp with a left hamstring pull that he suffered while training before training camp.  He then suffered a relapse in the third preseason game against Seattle.

It’s not likely that Hayward will be upgraded, but this could be a good sign about his possible return for the Baltimore Ravens game.

Only two players missed practice today, running back James Starks (knee) and offensive lineman Greg Van Roten (foot).  Both have already been declared out for the week.

Packers lose more to injuries

August 24, 2013 By Bill Scott

The Green Bay Packers lost a total of five players to injury in the 17-10 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Friday night.  Four of the five are either

Morgan Burnett

starters or players that play a significant amount of playing time.

Two defensive starters, linebacker Brad Jones and safety Morgan Burnett suffered hamstring injuries.  Defensiveback Casey Hayward left with a recurrence of the hamstring injury that kept him out of the first three weeks of training camp.  Running back DuJuan Harris went down with a right knee injury early.  It’s the same knee that cost him the first three weeks of camp.  Outside linebacker Jarvis Reed, considered to be a longshot to win a roster spot, left with a knee injury.

Burnett’s injury could be of most concern to the Packers if it’s serious because of a lack of depth at the position.

he maintains a slight edge for the starting job as the regular season approaches.

But Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy said no job has been won and Barclay will continue to battle for that job with Marshall Newhouse.

A few players returned to practice this week.  Rookie Datone Jones was back to work, as was defensive back Casey Hayward (hamstring) and tight end Andrew Quarless (quad strain).

Quarterbacks

Graham Harrell is still the leader in the race for backup quarterback, but Packers coach Mike McCarthy said the urgency has picked up with the arrival of Vince Young.

B.J. Coleman had the best performance of the backups last week.  He engineered the only touchdown drive of the preseason.

May 30, 2013 By Bill Scott

In today’s WRN Sports Daily, I take a look back at the key topics from this weeks Green Bay Packers’ OTA’s.

The Packers are putting more emphasis on creating fumbles.  Reserve tight end Andrew Quarless is back and looking to contribute this season.

Could there be a training camp battle between Brad Jones and Desmond Bishop at Inside Linebacker.

And there’s been some high praise for rookie corner Casey Hayward from coach Mike McCarthy.
