darin3 Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Combine starts tomorrow. Let's use this here thread to post videos of dudes running fast, fat guys with their blubber shakin while they run, dudes putting up huge bench numbers, etc. Combine starting means we're that much closer to the NFL Draft.

Maybe I'm mis-remembering, but have teams simply not attended in the past? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 They claim everything is recorded for all teams to see later so those teams will be relying on video. The Pats have skipped the combine in the past. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted February 27, 2023 Share Posted February 27, 2023 Senior Bowl week was much of the same, not all teams attended. It was nice for us Dynasty geeks though, our first look at some of these guys. The RB & TE class looks strong, WR not so much but all that can change.

stevegrab Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 I guess its nearly a foregone conclusion that he won't return to the Packers. Otherwise it is odd how the media reports on Rodgers deciding where he will play, if he decides to play again in 2024. He's got a contract with the Packers, he'll play there unless they decide to cut or trade him. Maybe he has a no trade clause, so he'll have to approve that. But if he says "I'm going to continue to play", the Packers can say "ok we'll see you in training camp". He could then decide to retire, maybe haver 10 hours in a hole somewhere.

So it is retain (with a restructured contract), trade or retire (would give up guaranteed money). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe my brain is fried but how is this Combine related? Not trying to be a smartass just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point stands, Rodgers isn't deciding where he plays, he only gets to decide if he will play again this coming season. Then the Packers will decide how they handle that.

darin3 Posted February 28, 2023 Author Share Posted February 28, 2023 Less than 2 months until the NFL Draft. One of my favorite days (Thursday 1st round) and weekends of the year. I am glued to the TV, finding out where my Devy players end up and start researching for rookie drafts. Ahhhh.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilthorp Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Arrest warrant for the incident after the National Championship where two people died in their car.

Hope it gets resolved and he's absolved, but that doesn't seem certain I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly thinks he'll be exonerated, but then few people charged with crimes seem willing to accept they may be guilty. Either way the charges are misdemeanors, not sure the league does much too him. It could ding his score with those looking to draft him. But talent often outweighs any character issues. I understand being young and clueles, I was that way many years ago. But if you're going to do insane stuff like this on a public road, take it to an area without traffic, a rural road, some abandoned industrial park. Or better yet, take it to the track.
