Good luck to him. I think that could be a good fit for him and its an even clearer path to carries for Jones now

Maybe the Packers will sign Kaepernick as a kick returner since he's much more likely to take a knee.

Clinton Dix now gone too. To WA

Vegas, you made a funny!! Anyone think Ty was gonna be traded whether he fumbled or not?

This one is no surprise.

I didnt expect us to resign him but I didnt expect us to trade him. Josh Jones and Whitehead forced to step up now

I think its a good move by GB. Get what they can for him now while there is a demand. I really don't think its a big loss. Nothing special.

My guess is Ha Ha was the guy running his mouth after the Montgomery play. I'm not sad to see him go, more mouth than play the last 2 years.

I really doubt he was going to be traded if not for the fumble. Trading him was probably an easy way to keep the locker room civil.

I admire that Packers wasted no time getting rid of distractions and undisciplined players.

They wasted a lot of time before they got rid of Randall who apparently was a cancer last year.

Yikes....the 2015 draft class was really bad.

The trade also essentially wipes away the 2015 draft class for the Packers:

• First round: Damarious Randall, S – traded to Cleveland on March 9 for DeShone Kizer
• Second round: Quinten Rollins, CB – released with an injury settlement on Sept. 10.
• Third round: Ty Montgomery, WR – traded to Baltimore on Oct. 30.
• Fourth round: Jake Ryan, LB – on Packers injured reserve
• Fifth round: Brett Hundley, QB – traded to Seattle on Aug. 29.
• Sixth round: Aaron Ripkowski, FB – cut by team on Sept. 1.
• Sixth round: Christian Ringo, DE – cut by team in September, 2017.
• Seventh round: Kennard Backman, TE – cut by team August, 2016.

GB signs 2 RBs. I don’t understand the thought process. I haven’t checked but I can only imagine there wasn’t any pass rushers worth going after.

We signed one from the practice squad and one to the practice squad. Its not hard to understand. With all the recent changes to kickoff rules teams are putting more skill position players on special teams to get more athletic.

That's not what I meant. Bringing up another RB to the active roster doesn't make sense. Give Jones the majority of the snaps and look for more help on defense. I think they are a player or two away from making a big difference in a game.

I think Jones is super athletic. My concern his ability within the scheme.

Understandable. Maybe they need to give him a chance and see if he can handle it. They wont know until they do it.

I agree to an extent. He had plenty of snaps last season. However im all for whatever will help the defense the most

Well, activating another RB isn't going to help the defense.
