This has been a fairly quiet offseason in Packerland. Here's a little something interesting to chew on coming out of "the Gridiron Newsstand" and "The REAL Feed":
Brett's backup? Packers interested in Couch
ESPN: NFL (26.03.2004 16:26).
Here are ALL the LOCAL reports from both Wisconsin and Ohio, i.e. from both sides, on it:

Thoughts, fellas?

In substantive support of this assertion, from "The REAL Feed":

Currently atop "The REAL Feed"...
Sources: Couch, Packers agree to 1-year deal
ESPN: NFL (14.06.2004 19:29)
Green Bay reportedly will pay $1M-plusIt took more than two months, hours of discussions and, finally, his release by the Cleveland Browns last week, but quarterback Tim Couch is finally headed to Green Bay. League sources confirmed Monday evening that Couch, released Friday afternoon by the Brow...
Here's the LOCAL take from "the Gridiron Newsstand":

I think this is a great fit for both Couch and GreenBay.
Long term, I think Couch has a good chance to be their QB of the future.
Short term, it makes sense for both sides. Couch gets to learn from Farvre, he can rejuvinate his ego, and he can learn the system.
The Packers get a major upgrade over Pederson, a potential QB of the future, and will be more likely to rest Farvre if needed.

I thing this is a dubious signing. Couch better check his ego in at the door. It's no coincidence his # is half that of Favre's: he's half the QB. Question is: who goes? I think Nall has a lot of promise. He was MVP in NFLEL. You guys stateside probably don't realise how competitive that league is. Still, it's all academic: by the time Favre retires, Couch will be an old man, and probably on his thirteenth NFL team.

Javon may be "the (go-to) man", but don't count Fergy out of the fold just yet, actually for awhile. From "The REAL Feed":
Packers lock up Ferguson
The Sports Network: NFL (30.06.2004 23:46)
FERGUSON PENS PACKERS EXTENSION
Sporting Life: NFL (30.06.2004 07:34)
The Green Bay Packers have signed receiver Robert Ferguson to a multi-year contract extension.
The LOCAL sources on "the Gridiron Newsstand" are buzzing:

http://www.greenbaynewschron.com/packers/page.html?article=126483;
http://www.packersnews.com/archives/news/pack_16720595.shtml;
(AP report)
http://www.madison.com/captimes/sports/packers/77387.php.
I, for one, still like Ferguson to be a decent fantasy receiver someday... a #2, #3 or at least a solid reserve.
