Eagles are looking to offer 2nd & Lito Sheppard from Eagles. What about the Pack offering Collins, Jones & 2nd or 3rd. Larry Fitz is a young stud. We have Rouse who is ready to step in for Collins. Thoughts??

Thoughts? Can he play Defense? Offensive Guard?

I guarantee the Vikings will give up the farm for Fitz.

I realize injuries can happen at any time, but aside from the DL, the WR position is perhaps the most stacked position on the team.

And not only stacked, but stacked with a load of Pro bowl "tallanted" players.

I love Fitz and don't argue that he is a great WR. But I think even if GB considered him he would wonder where he fit in the depth chart.

They just gave WAY too much for Berrian. Fitz comes with a big contract in place. He would have to be restructured. Packers have more than enough room for a guy like this.

Remember Driver is no pup.

They are already lacking in safety depth, Jones played pretty well last year for a rookie so I'm not sure why you would want to give him up and this draft can be used to fill holes with 3 picks in the top 60.

And he hates Rodgers.

Driver is 33 and in phenominal shape. I agree with what P'boi said.

Which is why it is nice we are deep at WR.

So you saying that the Viking gave way to much for Berrian but want the Packers to give up a day one draft pick(s) and Collins and Jones for ONE player in Larry Fitzgerlad? A postion we are already deep and pretty well off at?

Are you smoking some crack?

I wrote a 2nd or a 3rd not both picks.

Maybe so, but he still has realistically 2 maybe 3 productive seasons left plus you have a very young and talented #2 in Jennings and a #3 with JJ, then Koren who is like 28, and Ruvell Martin.

Arizona will want alot in terms of either drafts, quality player(s), or both for Fitz. TT does not like to trade away picks either.

It's almost the same argument as people had with Moss. Bringing in a WR like Fritz means your younger guys don't develop as fast because they are not getting the rep's and experience they would in the 1/2/3 slots.

Bringing in Fritz means JJ slides down to 4th or 5th. That's not alot of time getting the ball for a rookie who had a very solid year.

Donald Driver is not getting any younger & picking up a huge WR like Fitzgerald would be amazing! L.F. is probably one of if not THE top WR in the game today

Larry F. would fit nicely into this offense AND he would be the new #1.

Donald Driver has a bigger heart than the size of Jupiter but to think he can keep playing at a Pro Bowl level for the next 3 years is stretching it.

I'd gladly trade one of our safeties and a 2nd rounder for Fitz. GLADLY!

That would make Berrian the highest paid #2 WR in the league.

Well get it done FRZ!!!

I agree he's an elite WR who would fit in well here...however, it will cost a lot more than a safety and 2nd. Might cost us both 2nd rounders or our 1st. But if you guarantee yourself an elite playmaker, why not?

I think doing that would be vastly out of character for ROTTT.

Have faith. They can still top the Herschel Walker trade.

The Packers have a ton of cap space now and Larry Fitz is a top 5 WR right now. He would immediately be a #1 WR on this team and if you combine him with Jennings, Driver and even Jones (who struggled the 2nd half of the year) it would be an unbelievable WR corps. You aren't going to get a player like that with a late 2nd round pick that would provide immediate dividends. If they had to throw in someone like Nick Collins as well it would be worth it.

Wasn't there a guy named Jennings who struggled the 2nd half of his rookie year? I just don't understand why people think they should give up the farm for 1 player at a position where they really don't have a need.

Because when you have the opportunity to grab a DIFFERENCE MAKER you DO NOT hesitate!

The free agents out there are crap. Larry F is a DIFFERENCE MAKER who can really help a young QB develop

Larry F is a blue-chip player

If they're going to give up any picks for a position in the passing game I'd prefer it be a TE. Now THAT'S a position that doesn't have much in the way of depth.

One of the safeties and a 2nd rounder for Fitsgerald I'd agree with. But I think the offer of Collins, Jones, and a 2nd or 3rd is too much.

I would give the Packers first round pick and a 3rd without hesitation for Fitz. The guy is awesome.....

Fitz would be huge. The man is pure Packer People. Don't know what I'd give up for him though.

Will he be good in Lambeau field when it gets cold? Will he be good when he renegotiates a 60 million dollar contract? Does he become a Freeman or a Kampman? There are no guaranteed players. I just don't believe that with the talent this team has that they need to make a move like this.

If they could get a Tony Gonzalez or Antonio Gates
