The snow predictions have been downgraded from 6 inches or above to 2 to 4. By Sunday we will have drizzle and rain.

Packers Trade Williams

The Packers will trade Cory Williams to the Cleveland Browns. Williams recently received the 'franchise tag' designation. In return Green Bay gets a 2nd round pick (# 56) in the upcoming draft. They also have the 30th pick in the 1st round and 60th in the 2nd round.

I like this trade. When Williams got tagged I thought it was more on potential than production and so seeing him go is OK. Thompson now has 3 pick in the 1st 60 to work with which is a positive development.
