Packers send Elliott to Cowboys

September 4, 2017 By Bill Scott

Don Barclay headed to injured reserve

The Green Bay Packers finally finalized the signing of free agent outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks and made a handful of other moves as they move into game week.

The Packers claimed outside linebacker Chris Odom off waivers from the Atlanta Falcons and traded outside linebacker Jayrone Elliott to the Dallas Cowboys for a conditional seventh round draft pick in 2018.

To make room for Brooks, the Packers placed offensive lineman Don Barclay on injured reserve with the option of designating him for return after eight weeks of the season.  The move explains the Packers keeping both Justin McCray and Lucas Patrick.  Both players could serve as Corey Linsley’s backup center this week when the Packers open the season at home against Seattle.  The Packers now have five offensive lineman on the roster.

The Packers waived both Taysom Hill and Joe Callahan.  Hill wound up being picked up by New Orleans, while the Packers signed Callahan to their practice squad.  The Packers also released defensive tackle Brian Price.  He was claimed by the Cowboys.

The Packers may not be done yet, but they do return to the practice field Monday afternoon.  Tuesday is an off day with more workouts set for mid-week.

Packers add Brooks to help pass rush

August 31, 2017 By Bill Scott

The Green Bay Packers will have a little more than a week to get Ahmad Brooks up to speed before facing Seattle in the season opener on Sunday, Sept. 10, at Lambeau Field.

The Packers agreed to a deal with veteran outside linebacker on Wednesday, a deal that could pay him as much as $5 million.

The 33-year-old Brooks spent the last nine seasons with the San Francisco 49ers and ranks third in franchise history with 51 1/2 sacks.

The Packers entered training camp without Julius Peppers and Datone Jones, who left in free agency.  They were hoping Jayrone Elliott and Kyler Fackrell would step in and take over the lost production.  When it didn’t happen, the Packers had their eyes open for help and the timing of Brooks release from the 49ers couldn’t have been better.

Brooks has had at least five sacks in each of the past eight seasons.  His career high of 8 1/2 came in 2013. [Read more…]

Packers to host free agent Brooks today

August 29, 2017 By Bill Scott

Kyler Fackrell

The Green Bay Packers are expected to host free-agent outside linebacker Ahmad Brooks today.  The decision to bring in a veteran is a clear sign that the Packers aren’t happy with the current level of production beyond Clay Matthews and Nick Perry.

The Packers let Julius Peppers and Datone Jones get away in free agency, ready to give Jayrone Elliott and Kyler Fackrell more of an opportunity.

Through three preseason games, Elliott and Fackrell have combined for five tackles and no sacks.

The Packers haven’t been able to stay healthy as well.  Matthews dropped out early on Saturday with an undisclosed injury and Perry later left with an ankle injury.

Elliott has had to deal with back spasms the last couple of weeks and he had to leave Saturday’s game at Denver early.

The Packers also haven’t been able to get former Badger Vince Biegel on the field.  The fourth round pick hasn’t practiced since rookie orientation in May when he broke a bone in his foot.  After surgery, he’s been rehabbing, trying to get back, but its an injury that requires a tremendous amount of patience.  Biegel is currently on the PUP list and could remain there through the first six weeks of the season.

House returning to Green Bay, Elliott signs one year deal

March 14, 2017 By Bill Scott

Davon House

Green Bay Packers defensive back Davon House is returning to Green Bay and will sign a one-year contract with the team.

House played his first four NFL seasons with the Packers, then left in free agency in 2015, signing a four-year, $24.5 million deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars.  The Jaguars turned around and released House after last season, saving $6 million in salary cap space.

The Packers, whose pass defense ranked 31st in the NFL last season, showed immediate interest.

The Packers released their top cover corner, Sam Shields after he suffered a concussion last season.

House started all 16 games in 2015 for the Jaguars, leading the team with four interceptions and setting a [Read more…]

Elliott agrees to one-year deal with Packers

March 14, 2017 By Bill Scott

After visits with Buffalo and Pittsburgh, free-agent outside linebacker Jayrone Elliott decided to return to the Green Bay Packers.  Elliott has agreed to a one-year deal with the Packers, worth a reported $1.6 million.

Elliott had offers from both the Bills and Steelers, but with Julius Peppers already signed by Carolina and Datone Jones still unsigned, his best chance at a larger role may come with the Packers.

Elliott was supposed to be a restricted free agent, but the Packers didn’t tender him.

During the last two seasons, Elliott had four sacks in limited playing time.  Most of his contributions have been on special teams where he led the Packers in tackles last season and ranked third in 2015.

The Green Bay Packers erased memories of  three straight crushing losses at Seattle with a 27-17 victory over the Seahawks at Lambeau Field on Sunday night.

Mike Neal

Green Bay Packers’ linebacker Mike Neal is practicing for the first time this season, finally returning from sports hernia surgery.  Neal was removed from the team’s Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday.

Neal was limited to individual drills and lighter work on a scout team.

Neal says his hernia flared up in each of the last three years, and it was especially tough to play through it in 2013.  He’s had surgery before, but he hopes his problems are gone for good after having noted Philadelphia surgeon William Meyers handle the procedure this time.

Neal hasn’t missed any games the past two seasons, after missing 20 his previous three seasons with various issues.
