PFT: No offer from Green Bay

**the Talking Can** · 04-26-2007, 03:08 PM

take it for what it's worth...

------
RUMOR OF GREEN BAY OFFER FOR L.J. IS OFF THE MARK

Though we've never seen a rumor that we didn't want to monger, we've learned based on discussions with league insiders and via the application of common sense that the Packers have not offered a first-round pick and a fourth-round pick to the Chiefs for running back Larry Johnson.

As we suggested in our short blurb regarding the Scout.com report that an offer is on the table, the deal makes no sense unless the Packers have in place a long-term deal with Johnson. But a league source tells us that no permission has been given by Johnson to talk to other teams; thus, if any discussions have occurred, it would be an obvious violation of the tampering rules.

Though it's not becoming more common for a trade to be worked out contingent on the new team and the player working out a contract, there's no way that the Packers and Johnson would get together on a long-term contract before Saturday, even if a trade deal were done right now between the teams. The Chiefs are quietly shopping Johnson due in part to the reality that he wants a deal worth more than the contract signed by 2006 MVP LaDainian Tomlinson before the salary cap spike of the past two seasons. There's no way that Packers G.M. Ted Thompson will ever agree to that....

I might as well plant this here too.....(from another thread)

From a WPI poster, regarding PFT's dismissal of the story.

Pot, meet kettle. This is comedy gold, especially considering the source.....

Kind of a misleading title considering the website that is from. It's profootballtalk.com, does anybody actually believe half the crap that is reported there?

Not once in that little article does it say the rumor is fake. It is all speculation on there part and half the time they are wrong.

Who are you guys going to believe? A media members from the Green Bay Packers scout.com forum or some website that is well known for making up **** all the time?

I think that's an easy answer

Sorry if no one else finds that funny, but I think it's freaking hilarious.

This guy is a freaking mod over there, for Christ sake. And no, it's not GC
