I know the offseason program has been officially suspended by the NFL and NFLPA. But I'm wondering, would a "working remote" situation be allowed? I'm thinking team and position group meetings using video conferencing. It might be a way to get the "mental reps" in even if they can't be in the team facility.
No. That won't happen. Players will get the playbook once they get back in the building…whether that's April, May, June, July, August...

The Bears parted with their fourth-round draft pick to get Nick Foles. Was their selection A) To obtain a quality backup or B) An acknowledgement that they may need a better starting QB?
Mitchell Trubisky has been put on notice. The fourth-round pick is what it is. The real story is the Bears' willingness to take on Foles' contract. That says he could legitimately be "the guy" next year. Foles also has a history with Chicago coach Matt Nagy. It's been an interesting start to the new league year in the NFC North.

I didn't think you could trade compensatory picks in case of Nick Foles to Bears for a fourth-round pick.
The NFL changed that rule two years ago. You can trade compensatory picks now.

One of my favorite draft moments was when Joe Thomas was fishing with his dad during the draft. I would enjoy watching all the top prospects doing what they enjoy instead of wearing a crazy suit and hugging Roger Goodell. Maybe this is the year I get my wish!
I'm sure it remains a memorable day for Thomas and his father.
George from North Mankato, MN
Is there enough cap room remaining to think we could extend Kenny Clark, Aaron Jones or David Bakhtiari before the season begins?
Yes. But the price for Clark and Bakhtiari keeps rising with what these offensive and defensive tackles are getting.

Weston, please help me. I have bought myself two Packer jerseys in the last seven years. Eddie Lacy and Blake Martinez. In my opinion, both were excellent Packers. But when I buy their jerseys, they do not get re-signed. Whose jersey should I not buy so they stay a long term Packer?
Clark or Jaire Alexander are good bets.

It sure seems like DeAndre Hopkins was a cheap pickup for a WR of his talent. Do you think Gute missed out on the chance, or do you think he thought the price was too steep?
The price wasn't too steep but Hopkins does have a sizable cap hit for the next three seasons. The Cardinals were opportunistic and had the room to absorb it.

Packers scored at least one TD in every game of the 2019 season. Which teams did not? I remember the Niners winning a poor game 9-0 with three FGs, but can't remember the opponent.
It was Washington. What a weird game.

Do players from rival schools trash talk in the locker room? Bryan Bulaga, now Kirksey, (Iowa) and Allen Lazard (Iowa State)? Also, Tristan Wirfs is a specimen, won a state high school wrestling title, and was first in shot put (twice) and discus (three times). Too bad he won't be around for the Packers to draft him. He's worth first-round money.
There always are friendly rivalries inside the locker room. I haven't heard much Iowa/Iowa State chirping but Big Ten players usually have a good time with Ohio State alumni.

What is the TP status at Lambeau? Feel free to send excess down here...
It's been two weeks since I've been at Lambeau. My wife has been there more recently than I have.
Mohamad from Tiburon, CA
Hi Wes: If we draft Patrick Queen in the first round, Prince Tega Wanogo in the second and Kevin King continues to improve his stellar play, could the Packers once again claim their rightful place as NFL royalty?
A true royal secondary.
Corey from Henderson, NV
Well, looks like we will finally get a Rodgers/Brady showdown. Too bad it'll be in Tampa and not Lambeau.
I'll still take it.
Gary from Davenport, IA
Do you think the Packers will play at Tampa Bay on NBC during November? It will be sweeps month and involve a quarterback matchup that might not occur again.
That sound you hear right now is network executives salivating at the thought of another Rodgers vs. Brady game. Ratings don't make themselves, ya know!
Tony from East of West Bloomfield, WI
Packers non-division opponents QBs: Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, Deshaun Watson and Jimmy G. All on the road. This team will earn every bit of success it has in 2020.
Brady to Tampa Bay seems like one of those farfetched, off-the-wall signings that only happen in 'Madden' franchise mode. To your point, that's a full house of All-Pro and Pro Bowl quarterbacks for the Packers to face in 2020.
James from Chicago, IL
What's the over/under on the number of No. 12 Tampa Bay jerseys sold in Boston this week? And how many of those jerseys will Belichick have to see in the stands on the Pats home opener?
I don't get it. And I don't know if I ever will. There's no heir apparent and Belichick isn't getting any younger. Why not appease Brady and ride this thing out like the Lakers did with Kobe near the end of his career? Is now the time to really start over?
Dennis from Parrish, FL
Did Wes just predict a Packers vs. Buffalo Bills Super Bowl?
I do like Josh Allen.
Dennis from Wisconsin Rapids, WI
No question, just a quick thank you. I recently won a 2019 commemorative football in a Packers Perks auction. It's on my desk as I type and looks great! I probably earned over half the points I bid from content generated by Mike and Wes. Thanks gents, for making "earning" such a pleasure.
I'm just happy I could help the ball club.
Scott from Hayward, WI
"Have the Vikings ever turned down an opportunity to toot their own horn?" Where did that come from? Someone steal your lunch again? At any rate, it brought a smile to face. Thanks!
I won't lie. I did a small fist pump after writing that line. Talk to you guys, tomorrow.
HAVE A QUESTION?
