Mike and Wes, I appreciate your good work – II has been a welcome and entertaining forum during extraordinary and difficult recent weeks and months. Quick question: What former Packers left the team during free agency and won a SB ring with their new team while under their next contract? I racked my brain and couldn't think of any, but I'm sure there are a few.
Bashaud Breeland and Adam Timmerman were the first two names that came to mind. Will Blackmon, Rick Lovato and Anthony Levine were released but they all won Super Bowls immediately afterwards.

Matt LaFleur sustained a significant Achilles injury roughly a year ago as a concerned Packers fan base looked on. We watched how he handled it and stayed very connected to his new job! How's he doing today? Secondly, very much appreciate II covering so many "bases" giving fans insights to such a great organization. Thank you both for being good at your jobs.
LaFleur's doing great. He told Jason Wilde last week that he's back playing basketball again.

Since being released by the Rams, is there a higher chance that Clay Matthews will retire prior to the 2020 season? Or, will he find another team to join in his final chapter?
Free agency has grinded to a halt right now. Unless there is a specific dollar amount for Matthews that teams won't meet, I still think he plays somewhere in 2020. He was having a solid year before breaking his jaw.

I think the Denver Broncos were the last team to go "all-in" and win the Super Bowl that year.
I've seen a few of you trying to make this point. Y'all are misremembering history. First, I wouldn't quantify signing Peyton Manning to replace Tim Tebow as going "all-in." It's signing a future Hall of Famer when you didn't have a quarterback. That also happened in 2012, not 2015. The Broncos barely made any moves the offseason before winning Super Bowl 50.
JR from East Moline, IL
In response to Wes, in 1976 the Flint, Mich., Tropics went all-in, trading their washing machine (even though they needed it) to acquire Ed Monix. Led by Monix and coach/owner/player Jackie Moon, the Tropics went on to win the first ever Flint MegaBowl, an event often mentioned in the same breath as the discovery of fire and invention of the submarine. Other than that, though, I can't think of any other examples.
JR wins. I stand 100% corrected and bow down to the comment of the spring.
Caleb from Rosemount, MN
Hey Wes, we've gotten Spoff's opinion in the past but I'm curious what your take is if Eli Manning should be in the Hall of Fame someday.
He was a very good quarterback who won two Super Bowls. That's a heck of an accomplishment. But I don't know how many teams feared playing Eli Manning. Maybe one day he gets in with how the Hall of Fame is finding more ways to open the floodgates, but I don't expect him to be in Canton for a while.
William from Lyndon Station, WI
The league has informed teams that training camps will be conducted only at team facilities this season. How will that affect the Packers staying at the St. Norbert dorms?
That sounds like a TERRIFIC "Murphy Takes 5" question, which runs this Saturday.
Zak from Muskego, WI
Is Yosh pronounced with a long or short vowel – e.g. Josh, but with a Y, or Yoshi sans second syllable?
Yes. Ya-OSH.
Al from Green Bay, WI
Looking at the roster on packers.com, I see four players without photos by their names. They are Marc-Antoine Dequoy (CB), Zack Johnson (G), Jordan Jones (FB), and Jalen Morton (QB). These may be the "Mount Rushmore" of anonymity. As No. 4 on the QB depth chart, Morton has almost no shot at the 53. Among the others, which longshot has the best chance of cracking the roster and getting a real photo by his name?
Dequoy. The University of Montreal evidently didn't do headshots. Since players haven't reported yet, we haven't had a chance to get one.
