There’s nothing normal about this Packers training camp

August 3, 2020 By Bill Scott

Rookie AJ Dillon’s locker

The Green Bay Packers opened training camp last week, but the first several days were devoted to coronavirus testing.  Rookies were in over the weekend and held their first walk through.  The teams veterans finally arrive today (Monday), the sixth day of training camp.

With veterans arriving, there’s another walk through scheduled for today, along with weight lifting and conditioning.  It’ll be two weeks before the team gets its first padded practice.

There’ll be no preseason games ahead of the September 13th opener at Minnesota, which means coach Matt LaFleur will have to get creative in the way he prepares his team.

LaFleur told reporters in a zoom call on Sunday that he anticipates more live-scrimmage scenarios, trying to replicate situations that players could encounter during games.  LaFleur said some of those scrimmage situations will come inside Lambeau Field.

The Packers will start with a splitsquad format, meaning rookies and injured players working in one group and veterans in another.  That scenario allows the Packers to have as many as 90 players in camp before having to cut down to 80 on August 16.  The Packers roster currently stands at 83 players, not including four that are on the COVID-19 list.

After missing the first couple of weeks of training camp, Green Bay Packers veteran kicker Mason Crosby (calf) has been cleared to return to practice.  Crosby started the season on the non-football injury list.

Coach Matt LaFleur said Sunday that Crosby has been kicking on his own and doesn’t expect there to be any limitations.

Crosby said it was his kicking leg that bothered him, but he had no pain when kicking.  He said the issue came when he would try to run.

Jones skips OTA, reportedly seeking a trade (AUDIO)

May 22, 2019 By Bill Scott

Josh Jones (27)

Josh Jones wasn’t happy with a lack of playing time last season and that frustration continued when the Green Bay Packers signed free agent safety Adrian Amos and selected Maryland’s Darnell Savage in the first round of the NFL Draft.  Expecting that his playing time won’t increase much with those personnel moves, Jones opted to skip the start of OTA’s this week.

Coach Matt LaFleur made sure to mention to reporters on Tuesday that OTA’s are “voluntary” under the league’s collective bargaining agreement, but it’s simply unheard of in today’s NFL for a player to miss the teams off-season program without a legitimate reason.

LaFleur said he has not spoken with Jones and told reporters that Packers GM Brian Gutekunst would handle the situation.  LaFleur didn’t answer how he would handle the situation if Jones misses the teams mandatory minicamp, which starts on June 11.

Jones still has two years left on his original rookie contract, leaving him little bargaining power. [Read more…]

Packers playoff hopes hanging by a thread

November 26, 2018 By Bill Scott

Aaron Rodgers File Photo – UPI/Bill Greenblatt

The Green Bay Packers dropped their sixth straight road game this season, falling to the Minnesota Vikings 24-17 at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday night.  The Packers (4-6-1) now need to win all five of their remaining games and get help to find a spot into the post season playoffs.

The Packers were quick to start again, jumping out to 7-0 and 14-7 leads, but like previous games, the Packers fell apart.  Nothing seemed to go right for the Packers the rest of the way.

The Green Bay defense couldn’t get a take/away, while Tramon Williams turned it over on a punt return which gave the ball back to the Vikings.  Minnesota wouldn’t score after going for it on fourth and short, but they did take more time off the clock. [Read more…]

Packers deal Montgomery & Clinton-Dix before the trade deadline

October 30, 2018 By Bill Scott

Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

Twenty Four hours ago, Green Bay Packers running back Ty Montgomery said he had a hard time trusting his teammates and he wasn’t sure what his role was on the team.  Fast forward one day and Montgomery was sent to the Baltimore Ravens for a 7th round draft pick in 2020.

Montgomery fumbled a kick return after being told not to bring the football out of the end zone.  Criticism quickly followed from Montgomery’s teammates and the Packers returner said its hard to trust anyone now.

Montgomery was selected in the third round out of Stanford in 2015.  In 36 career games, he caught 129 passes for 827 yards and three touchdowns.  He has rushed for 849 yards and seven touchdowns.

Montgomery will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season.  His departure means the Packers no longer have a single player from that 2015 draft class on the active roster.  Linebacker Jake Ryan is the only member of that class still a part of the organization, but he’s on injured reserve.

Can Williams help the Packers?

March 23, 2018 By Bill Scott

Tramon Williams spent nine seasons with the Green Bay Packers before spending time in Cleveland and last year with the Arizona Cardinals.  Now, at the age of 35, the Packers are reportedly interested in the veteran again.

NFL Network analyst James Jones reported that the Packers have agreed to a two-year contract with Williams, who started 9 of 13 games with Arizona last season.  He finished with two interceptions, 41 tackles and 12 pass breakups.

Williams had a total of 32 interceptions during his first stretch with the Packers.

Packers to visit with Matthews

The Packers are scheduled to host former Buffalo and Philadelphia wide receiver Jordan Matthews on a free agent visit on Friday.

After a solid three seasons with the Eagles, Matthews was traded to Buffalo.  But he played in just 10 games with the Bills last season while dealing with injuries.  Matthews would eventually undergo knee and ankle surgeries in December, finishing the season with 25 receptions for 282 yards and a touchdown.

At 6’3, 212 lbs., Matthews would provide the Packers with another big target for quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

Randall agrees to new contract

Damarious Randall

Damarious Randall

The Green Bay Packers have their entire draft class under contract after first round pick Damarious Randall signed his deal on Tuesday.

The rest of the Packers draft class had already signed their deals last month.

Randall played safety at Arizona State, but the Packers 30th overall draft pick, lined up at right cornerback with the Packers during day one of their June minicamp on Tuesday.

Randall missed the Packers rookie minicamp because of a pre-draft foot injury and took part only in individual drills during OTA’s.

So Randall is playing catch-up and only time will tell if he’ll be ready to compete for the starting spot that once belonged to Tramon Williams.

Lattimore signs free agent deal with the Jets

April 2, 2015 By Bill Scott

Jamari Lattimore

Jamari Lattimore

The Green Bay Packers lost another unrestricted free agent yesterday when linebacker and special teamer Jamari Lattimore signed a deal with the New York Jets.

Lattimore played four seasons with the Packers and had a career high 39 tackles and an interception in 2014.

Lattimore played 11 games last season.  He finished the season on injured reserve after an ankle injury.

Lattimore’s departure leaves the Packers even thinner at inside linebacker.  The Packers starters at the moment are Sam Barrington and Clay Matthews.  None of their backups, Joe Thomas, Nate Palmer and Carl Bradford have any regular-season game experience.

The Packers have lost three unrestricted free agents now.  Along with Lattimore, Tramon Williams signed with Cleveland and Davon House with Jacksonville.

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…]

House to sign with Jacksonville

March 10, 2015 By Bill Scott

Davon House

Davon House

If the Green Bay Packers wanted Davon House back, they weren’t willing to show him the money.

After receiving offers from multiple teams, House will sign a free agent contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars.  The deal is worth $25 million over four years and includes $10 million in guaranteed money.

According to FoxSportsWisconsin.com, the Packers were only willing to offer House $17 million for four years and $5 million guaranteed.

House will be joining his former college head coach at New Mexico State, DeWayne Walker.  Walker is the new defensive backs coach with the Jaguars.

The Packers other option at defensive back is re-signing veteran Tramon Williams.  If they don’t up the ante on Williams, the Packers are facing losing both of their free-agent corners.

Free Agency officially begins at 3 p.m. this afternoon.
