Kampman Torn ACL

He is in a contract year.He does not fit in the 3-4..would get him at a bargain rate next year...would you take him?

According to Packers beat writer Greg Bedard, the initial prognosis for OLB Aaron Kampman is that he has a torn ACL.

Kampman, in the midst of a career-worst season, is dealt another blow in his contract year. He joins CB Al Harris as the Packers' second starting defender to tear his ACL in Week 11. Green Bay may not pursue re-signing Kampman in the offseason because he's not a good fit in their 3-4 defense. The injury may make Kampman a bargain addition for another team, however

Hell yes I would take him. He's the 2nd best DE in the league IMO and the best realistic option and probably the only option I would take if we were to trade Peppers. Peppers for him and a 2nd or 1st.

He's in contract year I don't see how we could trade Pep for him. I would love to get him though.

Packers just placed him on IR

Packers placed OLB Aaron Kampman on injured reserve with a torn ACL, ending his season.

We knew Kampman was done for the year in mid-November, but the Packers oddly kept him on the roster for the last several games. Kampman, 30 last month, is headed for unrestricted free agency in 2010. He was miscast as an OLB in Green Bay's new 3-4 scheme, but should draw plenty of interest from 4-3 teams as a defensive end. His Packers career is almost certainly over

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
