What a great trade by Gut.

Getting something for a player no one wanted in Green Bay and was on the last year of his contract.

Really makes me wonder why Ted never made these types of trades.

Strange to see a GM for the Packers still working on trades and acquisitions at this time of year. Nice! Kizer just needs more time in the system, and this opens up a spot on the roster.

Well...that solves one problem. For what it's worth, I think Hundley outplayed Kizer but its tough to keep the guy who was a flop last year over the guy you just traded a former first round pick to acquire....

Wow. I guess we role with Kizer or keep our eyes open for a veteran backup. A 6th for Hundley is better than I could have hoped. Bottom line is both the Pack and Seattle are screwed if QB1 misses any prolonged time.

The packers just told me that they know the season is done if Rodgers go down in 2018.

Now, they need to bring in a vet backup next offseason and keep looking for the eventual heir apparent. It sure isn’t kizer.

Good luck to Brett Hundley. It just wasn't working out. Watching Dan Patrick on Fox and he said "Packer fans probably don't feel good" about this. I disagree. I think Kizer has way more upside. I also wonder if Boyle makes the roster. Maybe practice squad?
Reality is if Rodgers goes down it would always be tough.

This actually upsets me because I like watching Hundley out there. I felt like he was a good backup, but I always have liked Kizer as well. I love what Gute is doing here, but was he not worth more than a 6th rounder? I was thinking at least a 4th or even another LB because we can't keep backers healthy for some reason...

I can't believe we didn't get those 1st rd picks for him !

B-b-but, no one will give us a pick for 1 year of Hundley, right?

Some people need to eat some crow...

I think the trade is a fair one for both.

HHHHHHHOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRAAAAAAYYYYYY

Can't believe Gute got a 6th round pick. That's awesome. Pete Carroll can now keep Hundley supplied with bubble yum.

Hundley only has 1 year left on his deal--he's a pure rental--and he still fetches us a 6th.

I like it.

Kizer will keep progressing, and has more years on his deal. He's an excellent backup.

If it’s true, it’s about time. I am glad that we were able to get anything for him. And he could probably use his running skills better in Seattle. Good trade.
In Charleston there is a submarine with the same name. After it’s first mission, it was sunk.

Nice job Gute!

Well, I am sitting down to a nice big ol' plate of barbecued crow. I was loudly proclaiming that trading Hundley was a pipe dream, that he had no value. I guess I was wrong.

He cost us a 5th, and we got a 6th back for him. I call that a win, all things considered.

Perfect. Now Gute, go get Teddy Bridgewater for a 4th rounder. Khalil Mack for a 1st and 3rd, a 2nd next year, and Perry, and take the rest of the day off.

Brett was always a class act and I wish him well in Seattle.

Wish Hundley well, but he had his chance here and it just didn’t work. Surprised our GM was able to get a pick for him, nice job. I know we haven’t even played a regular season game yet, but Gutekunst seems very polished and confident. Go Packers.

Whoda thunkit?

...saves the Packers from having to cut one of these two guys (Kizer, Hundley) AND builds even more draft capital in 2019 where they'll get no comp picks.

When I read Boyle was getting most of the game tomorrow I thought something might be up. They may play Kizer for a quarter.

If Demovsky is right, Boyle will make the roster. Not sure how I feel about that. Thought we could get him on the PS.

MM said Boyle was going to get a lot of PT against KC, but I don't think he knew at the time Hundley would be gone.

At the very least ....people can stop b#tching about him now...

perfect setup: 2 sixth-rounders for Mack! ;)

A six rd. pick. Just fantastic. Gute stopped a terrible mistake from happening again. Hundley didn't earn the back-up position. Kizer did! This works for everybody.

Apparently Hundley has trade value.........

I will also enjoy some crow on this one. I did not believe they could get anything for Hundley. I thought he would be a straight cut. Well done Gute!

Happy to see Kizer get his chance. He has a lot to learn about this system, but that gives him substantial upside. I am surprised they would keep Boyle on the 53. That likely means 6 WRs. It may be 7 WRs for the first two weeks, but when Jones comes back, they will have to make a choice.

The Pack took a flyer on a QB fairly late (5th round) and got out of it about what you'd expect - a somewhat serviceable backup who over the long-haul is not going be a difference maker. At best you'd hope he could hold serve.

For whatever reason the team didn't play well under his leadership last year. For God's sake they were shutout twice and his only wins came against the dregs of the league (and even that wasn't easy).

Some of the most boring noncompetitive games I've seen in years were under his stewardship. So I didn't feel good about him as QB2 this year. Looks like Gute took care of that but now we have to deal with a prospect who went 0-15 last year unless Gute has something else in mind.

Wow!! They must have TT under lock and key. This to me is BG and MM working together to showcase a talent that they never wanted long term to get a trade. Something TT never did.

Someone suggested a trade for Mack. Yes I say. Give the Raiders Perry, 2019 1st Rounder and a 6th rounder. Pretty cap friendly and getting a really good pass rusher.

And here I thought for anyone to take Hundley you'd have to give THEM the extra draft pick.

Green Bay can't win with either Hundley or Kizer. So you pick one that has the best potential, and trade the other. I'm surprised that Hundley captured a 6 round pick. Figured after last year, they might get a soda machine. I think he's got a very low ceiling, but he seems to be a great guy and hope he can be a solid backup for the Seahawks.

It's all good. I saw more promise with Kizer in this preseason than I have ever seen in Hundley. Much more comfortable in the pocket and just seems much more natural of a passer,so the three years of Hundley feeling his way along was just rolling the dice. And if it means keeping Boyle or another player at another position, all the better. Gute gives me faith that we will make the right moves as the season progresses as well. So much better then the usual approach of start the year with the same plan and hope it all works.

Thank goodness!

6th round pic= a bag Of footballs. Glad he's gone.

For everyone attacking Hundley, I guarantee you Seattle is thrilled right now.

Good move for both teams.

This action was a necessity! Hundley, honestly was the worst Packer QB that I have seen in over 5 decades. I just couldn't watch the last three games of last season.
My cataract eyes were very appreciative of the break.
To get a sixth round pick is at least something. Can't say too much about the value of that position but I'm sure that we will get someone better in value than Hundley.

I wish him well. He never complained and was a stand up guy.... But honestly, I am so psyched that we have Boyle for this year. I love the way he sits in the pocket and looks for options down the field. It takes guy with guts to do that.

Think we saw Hundley's ceiling. Kizer's potential is higher than Hundley's. Will take some time though.

This makes sense. Logically speaking, they know Hundley is not going to get the job done if Rodgers goes down. Even if Hundley is currently better than Kizer, it made no sense to keep Hundley around.

It's been said many times as people quote Ron Wolf about hanging onto a player that isn't good enough. Just move on to try and find a player that is good enough.

Also, I definitely like the idea of keeping Kizer and Boyle over keeping Hundley and Kizer, and trying to get Boyle to practice squad. Who knows, Boyle might be the eventual backup QB.

Well this week’s CHTV declaration “it is clear Hundley has earned the backup job” was not so clear after all!

I agree with this. A 2019 6th is a good trade, actually. Sure, maybe Hundley would have fetched the Pack a #5 comp pick in 2020 after he left next year...but Gute got ammo for next year.

Gute is assertive and decisive. I bet he is not done yet!

Not really. Seattle traded for Hundley, not Kizer, after all. OTOH, there is no way to know whether GB put a higher price tag on Kizer. My point is that your conclusion does not follow from this alleged evidence.

I think Kizer will be better than Hundley but I hope we don't have to find out anytime soon. Hundley was very up and down he went from being decent @Pit&@Bears then getting shutout by the Ravens at home. On the subject of back up QBs how is Matt Flynn not on a team in the NFL? He seems better than a lot of back ups.

First I wish Brett Hundley all the best. I think Seattle "offense phylosophy" should suits Brett Hundley better.

Also, I would like to thank him for his effort to help Packers. I respect that fact, despite outcome that was not the best.

Also, I think that we can already conclude how Brian Gutekunst showing us he is and will be succesful successor of Ted Thompson. It seems that the student has already surpassed the teacher. And that I would like to put on positive side of Ted Thompson inheritance. Great teacher is succesful when his student surpass him...

Also, thanks to Mark Murphy for right choice for Packers.

I was fan of Ted Thompson, and I become fan of Brian Gutekunst already!

I was a Ted fan early on too. The game passed him and his philosophy by. The later years Ted operated with the ideal that " if i dont do anything, I cant do anything wrong" So long Ted. Dont let the door hit you in the a$$ on the way out!

Send me a boat load of crow. I thought Gute was going to be a young version of Ted, unwilling to admit mistakes and hanging on to poor players forever. I was wrong. First time ever.........that’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

Is this heaven...

I am pretty sure that nobody in Seattle is worried about or cares about BH because he is certainly less than Mighty Mouse coming to save the day.

Seattle had one of the worst OLs in football history last year if BH plays it will be brutally worse than last year here.

BUT what a great move by GUT who inspires more confidence every day.......ties in with AROD talking 'partner' and being able to win.....what a slap in the face to the teddie fans and stupidity of rolling over cap money and passing on Moss.....beastmode......etc

I wonder how many times cap rollover hoisted a lombardi ?

Hundley's next preseason game will be against... the Oakland Raiders!

Perhaps having Hundley come in and rush as Russell Wilson does regularly would be less of a divergence from their game plan --> as opposed to GB trying to make his a pocket passer.... perhaps SEA is going to be a better fit for his particular skills?

Anyway, best of luck Brett.

Gotta love Gute.

In GUTE I trust!! It is nice to have a proactive , competent, coherent GM! The last few months prove what I have said for years about TT wasting AR prime. TT was a joke! Absolutely overrated! Looking forward to the next few years with optimism!!
