Can't say I love or hate it until we know what Gute got in return. But this certainly isn't a win-now move, so I'm hoping there's a big acquisition before 3... like the nelson/graham announcement, except I'd prefer a player that actually contributes

Wow, Gute is not TT that's for sure. I think on TV I saw that TT made one in season trade in the past 7 years.

Gute in his first season has already made 2?

This one does surprise me a little bit.

I didn't think they would make the trade. But they did.

I guess Josh Jones will get playing time now? Or do they move Williams or someone else to safety?

HHCD is the most overrated safety in the league. I think he wanted out and played like it

4th rounder for Ha Ha...was hoping for a 3rd, but addition by subtraction today.

So we trade away our best safety for a pick? And we didn’t get better and all it took to get Fowler was a measly 3rd rounder this draft and a 5th rounder in 2020?!

Whew!!!...Closed the door on a possible Perry repeat debacle. That alone helps the teams future.

Gute is dumping TTs follies as fast as he can. I hope he gets something decent in return and continues to build his team.

The way Gute is going I'm not expecting our FAs to be resigned at the end of this season. Maybe Perry (who?) gets chucked as well and we take the cap hit. Go Gute Go! Thanks, Since '61

Breeland is a stretch at safety.
If he was serviceable he would be playing. The Redskins seem to be loaded for Bears. This season is over. Tick tock McCarthy and Murphy.. 7- 8 - 1 = mediocre again.

This is GREAT news! Tramon, Breeland, J Jackson at FS? All are IMO going to play better than HHCD did the last 18 games. Someone said "he played like he wanted out." Nailed it. Glad he's gone.

Now... we still need a pass rusher. Turn that 4th into Fowler, Gutey!!!

The 4th Round pick is actually higher than the comp pick had Gute offered contract/arbitration. It would not have netted a 3rd, rare as the proverbial hen’s teeth.

4th round pick for 7th n 2020
and
1st round pick for a 4th round pick.

Blockbuster Deals.

Well that's it i believe. ...

Trade deadline over at 4pm

You are what your record says you are. 3-4-1 = mediocrity... Top to bottom. Panic from the complacent BODs. Build more infrastructure while the team is mired in the cellar.
1972- 1992 all over again.

Whether you think this is good value or not, I'm encouraged about the ruthlessness of Gute, something this franchise has needed for some time. Players who have expressed discontent or questioned their future are being moved on for whatever we can get for them. The safety market is pretty depressed right now so I dont think this is a bad deal personally.

I wasnt as down on HHCD as alot of fans seemed to be but I understand that this is a draft and develop team and the more draft capital we have, the better. That 4th could be packaged for to move up. This roster needs upheaval and that starts with the draft. The current rookie group has me hopeful about Gute's drafting. I have faith and I'm impressed that he's taking bold decisions for what he sees as the good of the franchise.

Well L.A Rams just got Pass Rusher Donte Fowler!!!

I am bewildered at the Packers. I don't even know what were doing. I feel we are in a world wind.

I hope in the right direction...so confused. .

It is almost as if packer fans are blind, has anyone watched Brice play S, or 35 either?

So who's left from the TT era? This is going to Gute's team moving forward. Was hoping to pick up an edge rusher, looks like it's coming in the draft. 4: 23 deadline is past.

At least Dix is closer to his goal of making policies in DC...Good riddance and goodbye.

Lot's of free agent safety's on the market for 2019.

1. Landon Collins, New York Giants
2. Earl Thomas, Seattle Seahawks
3. Lamarcus Joyner, Los Angeles Rams
4. Tyrann Mathieu, Houston Texans
5. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Washington Redskins
6. Jimmy Ward, SF 49ers

also
Adrian Amos, Ricardo Allen and Quandre Diggs.

Looks like nobody bought Ty's excuse.

A 4th rounder for Ha Ha is a great result.

Absolutely horrible. Sellers at the trade deadline? This is the god damn packers, we aren’t sellers. Haha is better than any safety on the roster. First jordy now haha, guess my kids should just buy a ar12 Jersey. Why did we trade haha daddy? Because we suck and are more worried about next year because we know this isn’t the year. Lame! FU. MM, GUTE and the bunch, we are garbage. Let’s start we a new coach.

The Rams reportedly outbid the New York Jets and Green Bay Packers for Fowler's services just 30 minutes before Tuesday's trade deadline, Rapoport added. The Jaguars were initially asking for at least a second-round pick and change for their former high selection.

Agree with the move. This is 2nd best case scenario.
Best case have been to get a player for him now to fill a holem Otherwise, HHCD leaving in FA is a 5th round comp pick. Interesting to see the safety rotation as Pettine likes 3 safety looks. Jones will likely get an opportunity.

Given how soft the safety market was this year, they probably weren't going to get much of a comp pick, if any depending on what they do in FA in the offseason. A fourth rounder is as good as you could hope for. Lots of good young talent in the DB room still there. He has some veteran experience, but his performance has been up and down this year. Good for Gute, clearing out a couple of possible distractions in HaHa and Monty.

Seems like ever since HHCD hurt his shoulder a few years ago, he's lost his aggressiveness, so this doesn't bother me too much. Would've liked a higher draft pick, but maybe there wasn't much interest elsewhere.

You insisted and you got!

Remember when Corey Behnke wanted to get a HHCD jersey?

Tramon to safety like he did in Cleveland.

Best day as a Packer fan in a while. Gute got as much as he could for HHCD and Montgomery (surprised he got anything for Montgomery) and sent a much needed message to the rest of the team. Gute wants disciplined players who want to be Packers and will remove those who don't fit the mold. If you are old enough, that message sounds awfully familiar - think Vince Lombardi.....

I'm not thrilled we spent a 1st rd pick and got a 4th rounder in return, but I doubt we would've gotten the same comp. pick had we let him go. We can't have a player like Clinton-Dix bitching in the locker room and playing erratically like he did.

The safety market last year was pretty soft and I'm not sure it'll be that great in 2019 free agency.

Let's see Clinton-Dix for what he was: a talented, but inconsistent player who wasn't shy about complaining, even prior to this year. His tackling was poor and he was a bad influence on our young guys.

It's basically a 9 game rental for the Redskins. If he tanks, then the Redskins just gave up a 4th rounder for nothing. How funny would it be if we wound up playing the Skins in a wildcard game?

So much for draft and develop....more like draft and let go:

2011: Derrek Sherrod
2012: Nick Perry
2013: Datone Jones
2014: Haha Clinton-Dix
2015: Damarious Randall
2016: Kenny Clark

Good grief! You'd think this was a list from the Browns or something.

This is insane... we just lost the only halfway decent safety on our team. So now we can play even worse than usual ...caannntttt waaaiiiiitttt!

Yes, we all love moral victories. smh

Can we start draft talk now?
I've spent a small fortune on the Sunday ticket again. More than the SB in Dallas...

Or the Thanksgiving in 2014...

Saves us a lot of drama. Drama over an ok player.

The fun twist would be if we found out it was HaHa that leaked his thoughts about Ty Montgomery to the press on Sunday.

Anyways, not sure I like the move. I'm not a huge HaHa fan but if we've got better tools at FS I'd like to think we would have been using them. HaHa hasn't been great this year but overall, he hasn't been a liability, either.

I'm hoping we see Tramon Williams out there. I have some faith in him. I can not say the same about Josh Jones at this time, based on his coverage from last season and the fact he's having such a hard time finding the field- especially in light of how iffy our SS play has been in 2018.

Hope this doesn't weaken the team in 2018. It's the right move for the future, though. Did not want to see HaHa resigned.

I think if our record was a little better, hell if we would have won on Sunday, Ha Ha would still be a Packer. With that said, with his less than stellar play and our CBs stepping up, I think we can cover the safety group with the bunch we got.

My bigger worry is the piss poor play calling by McCarthy and not being able to adjust on the damn crossing routes over the middle. That's not a lack of athleticism by our LBs or Safety, that's called no one is there or within 15 yds of them.

The edge group went from bad to fair-to-middling against the Rams. Fackrell actually beat a pro-bowl tackle with a speed rush! Clay moved around, and had a decent game. I even heard Reggie Gilbert's name mentioned. I wonder who else they were looking at besides Fowler - a few other names were thrown around. In contrast, the safety group did not improve. I think it will be Tramon and Whitehead starting, with Jones at dime, and Greene/Jackson/Breeland as potential rotation guys. They have to be better than Dix/Brice.

You know if our talent scouts etc were better and advisors when we draft we wouldn't have this mess going on right now. I suppose Gute is trying to clean up.

na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye....don't let the door hit u in the Dix on the way out!

What a crazy week this has been.
Well, who is our 3rd RB?

What about Kumerow and T. Davis? Do wre activate one of them?

Never a Ha Ha fan so good riddance. I wouldn't have given up a 3rd for Fowler for an 8 game rental so that was good too. But there were a lot of good players on the market at safety and edge that likely would have been cheaper than Fowler. I'm hoping Gute doesn't over value draft picks the way TT did. If a fourth or fifth could have gotten Landon Collins or a decent edge I would have jumped at it. We're still in the hunt for the NFC north. Ridding ourselves of Ha Ha and Ty is fine. But why no additions at obvious positions of need?

I know Dix wasn't great but he was probably the best of a weak group safeties. While I don't blame Gute for trying to get something for Dix I also think we are probably weaker at safety than we were yesterday. My guess is that Gute just doesn't see this team as being a legit contender and he may as well look to 2019. I think he may be correct.

A 4th rounder for the #4 ranked safety?...lolololololol duh-duhduh-duh-dumb. Just dumb.

So now there is a void at a vital position in the secondary AND the need for a pass rusher still isn't addressed. This just was not a smart move at all. I'm all for shipping out Monty after his blatant FU...but to get nothing in return other than hope in the 4th round for a guy who was playing at a high level is too much of a gamble. Not to mention GB just made another NFC playoff contender even stronger. At least ship him to the AFC. 2018 is officially dead. Here's to hoping for a top 10 pick....

If HaHa was worth keeping, Gute would have kept him. This sends a clear message, this team will look a whole lot different next year.

Not sure how I feel about this move..... if anything, it shows that we won’t be in a “Nick Perry situation” down the road (paying someone simply due to the fact that no one else is really available).

Is the depth good enough to make this trade, or are we planning on moving Tramon back to safety?

Time will tell, but give Gute the credit for being pretty ballsy here at the very least...

I don’t care what PFF and all the stats nerds say, I watched him and he stinks. He is not a good safety. He hovers around the edge of the action and picks off tipped balls and overthrows. Once or twice a season he makes a splash play and the stats nerds go wild. The rest of the time he plays chicken football, making sure he doesn’t get hurt and miss out on his big payday. Good riddance. Replace him with a JAG off the street, it will be an improvement.

ROFL @ those who think TWill is a viable replacement option for HHCD. TWill is a dinosaur. He simply doesn't have the range or speed necessary to play FS in today's league of 4.3 WRs. He's been burned more times this year than the weed in my bowl. Same goes for Brice. He can't cover. He can't locate the ball in the air. He rarely comes up to make tackles - his tackles come from chasing down the guy that just got behind him in coverage lol.

Meanwhile HHCD was playing his ass off this year under Pettine - who cares about last year? What does last year have to do with THIS year? If GB had a better option he would have been on the field already. This move just seriously weakened the secondary with nothing in return and failed to address a need at the same time. It's not very likely a 4th rounder is going to bring much value. Jumping from CB to FS is no easy task - you can't just put any body back there and expect them to be good. People should really watch the tapes and not base opinions off comments they read a player make or what they did in previous years.
