ESPN Milwaukee is saying there where no trades with any team at the deadline

What a great day!

shows what they know

Thompson wouldn't make a trade if his life depended on it anyway. Unless it was a negative one. It is all fantasy to think about FA, trades with TTT.(Twinkle Toes Ted)

Big Fing suprise that the Packers did NOTHING!

Dont forget the fact that he was GM of the year 2 years ago

The Packers should have listened to the posters here and traded for the top player at each position.

Why?

C'mon, be fair. Most of the trade scenarios discussed here were pretty reasonable.

Yeah, if you're playing Madden...

The trade rumors on here were garbage. An average linebacker and a couple of draft picks for Joe Thomas...right.

Don't be petty. No one was saying that, and Joe Thomas was only a pipedream that popped up the last 48 hours. I don't think anyone here actually expected a move to be made for him.

A lot of discussion went into very reasonable trades for Steven Jackson, Shawn Merriman, Julius Peppers, Laron Landry, etc. Jackson was probably the most discussed one.

That year was a fluke. Proven by the two years before and now the two years after. It did prove the only way MM and TTT will be successful would be by pure accident. I used to have some repect for McCarthy but he has no real control of this team. The glaring problems are the same we had day one and it remains F ed up.Oh but he was runnr up for Coach of the year to Belichek two years ago---I forgot.

Steven Jackson was a pipe dream.

Steven Jackson was a legit possibility. If the Rams had a little more cap space, there's a good chance that deal gets done.

Bet on it... Ted will stick to his M.O. till the bitter end.

Adam Shefter on the NFL network this morning said that a lot of teams called about Jackson and the Rams weren't interested in trading him. I believe that the idea of trading Jackson cropped up from Pro Football talk and Michael Lombardi who both had him in a "Tades that make sense" article - which was basically them looking at rosters and guessing who teams may want to move. It seems pretty clear that Joe Thomas and Stephen Jackson were going no where.

That was delivered very tounge in cheek

Aren't they 3-2, only 5 games into the season? It's nice to know that this year is already a failure, it will save me a lot of time now that I don't have to watch the rest of the games. Humor (or my attempt at it) aside, it is way to early to draw any conclusions about this year.

Lets all be honest here. The only player on this roster that had any real trade value was Kampman. Not Hawk, not Bishop, not James Jones. And I mean value for a top flight player like Jackson. And lets be real that Thompson was not going to give up any high picks for players like Jackson that maybe have 3-4 years left at most.

Additionally, not many trades actually occur at the trade deadline or even during the off-season. The off-season one can see some minor trades or trades attached to franchise players, but let's all be honest. Trades, especially at the deadline, do not happen with big names. Edwards is not a big name, he is a walking time bomb. We was traded out of Cleveland b/c of what he has done off the field. The others are not impact players.

That is not to say that the GMs of the NFL don't talk about possibilities, I am sure they do. It is just that trades are not likely.

Really?! I mean I would love to trade for Jackson but we'd have to give up something great to get someone great. Why do Packer fans always think you can give up next to nothing for top flight player? I find it funny.

Definitely. We do have to see how it all turns out. 3-2 sounds good, somewhat. You have to admit the Bears game could have went either way. St Louis and Detroit's second string team are not real powerhouses. I don't fault the players, but I am not seeing much progress from year one as far as the coaching staff is concerned, offensively anyway.

Who thought we would give up nothing? A number of us were ready to give them Grant, a 2010 2nd and a 2011 2nd/conditional pick, as well as a James Jones or Desmond Bishop, if necessary.

I read the trade threads almost every day once they started popping up a few weeks ago. They were, by and large, completely reasonable and fair trade offs. The Joe Thomas thing crept up the last day or two before the deadline - that was extremely far-fetched, but I think everyone was treating it as such.

Enough with the "People wanted Madden trade" BS. That wasn't happening.

That could not be farther from the truth.

Jones, Hawk and Bishop all absolutely have trade value. None of them are worth a blue chip player on their own, but if you package a couple of them with a draft pick or two, then you've got yourself quite a trade package.

What have any of those players shown at this point to prove that? Maybe Hawk based on rep but that is about it. If Bishop had any value dont you think Capers would get him extra snaps? Jones is at best a #2 and that is pushing it. Sorry, we do at times overvalue our own.

Yes the Bears game could have gone either way but then again so could the Bengals game.

When you look at the Vikings 6 wins - 2 of those should have been loses if not for a great play by Favre and a missed field goal - 3 wins were against the Lions, Rams & Browns - and then they beat the Packers. Not to take anything away from their wins (give them credit for making plays down the stretch) and based on the head to head they are better than the Packers right now but the margin between 3-2 & 6-0 isn't that great. It is pulling out games like the Bears game and not blowing the Bengals game.
