cant wait for this game

this weekend with the HOF inductions got me thinking about how insane its going to be when reggie goes in...beloved by the two best fan bases in the nfl is going to cause the turnout to be the biggest ever for any player

would be neat too if the nfl puts the birds and pack in the hall of fame game that year...i am definitely making the pilgrimage regardless

I wonder if Lurie/Banner would've re-signed him?

he was given so much money at the time, i dont know if it would have been worth it. however there was no salary cap yet.

i think they would have made some offer to him, even if it was lower than what green bay gave him. what got to me was that bramen and co. made no effort to keep the best d linemen in the NFL. none whatsoever.

You don't "go in as a" anything in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. The player isn't asked to declare a team, and they don't wear caps on the plaques like in baseball.
