  • The only way Driver stays is if the Packers trade Jones and then it's a tossup. Because the Packers will keep both Gurley
    and Borel. The million or so contract will be an outgoing bonus for Driver. It's too bad there isn't an easier way to pull the plug, but most of the oldtimers always think they have another year or two in them. Driver probably has 1 or 2 more in him, but Thompson always goes with youth and they have 2 really talented receivers waiting in the wings. It would be a shame to release one of them just to keep Driver around for sentimental reasons. The Packers have an awesome receiving corps from top to bottom. Thompson knows talent again the bottom feeding vultures will be swooping in on the Packers cuts. Why doesn't one of the bottom feeders trade a 3 or 4 round pick for the Packers last 4 or 5 cuts? Their talent level would take an immediate jump.
