Inbox: There's a reason they say it takes all 11 - Packers.com

Nathan from Lino Lakes, MN

Does the NFL have a restriction on how far out they allow teams to trade draft picks? I just saw the Indiana Pacers traded their 2025 second-round pick and don't recall seeing things like that in the NFL.

Three years.

Gretchen from Dousman (I also lived in Dousman) said she had the opportunity to speak with some of her childhood Packer heroes. Mine was John Brockington and I got to have lunch with him many years later in San Diego. What a pleasure! Who are some of your childhood heroes that you got to meet later in life?

LeRoy Butler. Doing a radio show with him for four years was an incredible experience. I consider LeRoy a friend. While I know I'm a very biased observer, I'll never stop trumpeting his case for the HOF. Because he deserves it.

Insiders, can you clarify the PUP rules? I know starting the season on PUP means at least six weeks before getting on the active roster. But I thought there was a practice window that opened prior to that? Is that the case, or can you not practice until six weeks and then you have three weeks to make the decision? Realizing it's Week 5, I'm curious as to when we might see our wonderful left tackle start coming back.

David Bakhtiari is eligible to return to practice after the Chicago Bears game. Once Bakhtiari does, the Packers have a 21-day window to add him to the 53-man roster.

Are there limits on how many players can be on returnable IR at a time?

No. It's still unlimited like last year.

Pat from Kennesaw, GA

Compounding on what Wayne said about deferring, I don't think it has anything to do with the number of possessions. What it really does is gives the deferring team a chance to double up while at the same time guaranteeing the other team can't.

Call me basic but I always defer.

It may be only in my imagination, but it seems like we're seeing more nifty plays this year from several NFL teams – particularly in the red zone. Not so much trick plays or gimmicks, but more than most years I find myself thinking "that was a nice play...how do you even defend against that?" How often do you think coaches/coordinators see a nifty play from another team, and steal it for their own use?

It happens constantly but I agree there's been a lot of innovation in the red zone, specifically in goal-line situations. I thought that little play-action into a dump-off that Kansas City ran last week was a smart design.

Dan from Toledo, OH

Today, ESPN analyzed Rodgers and Mike Tomlin looking and smiling at each other for greater than 10 minutes. This is what sports media has become. Can you guys pass a message to Rodgers that he is no longer allowed to look at, smile at, joke around with, or really interact with any other opposing team? Thank goodness for II because you're one of the only legitimate sports reporting I have left.

*This is the perfect example of why I feel like my generation had the best of both worlds in the 1990s and early 2000s. Television quality has made huge strides but things also hadn't gotten over the top yet. Now, we get uncomfortably tight zoom-in shots on Adams' face after a scary hit and TV segments on something as innocuous as Rodgers and Tomlin smiling at each other. *

Greg from Glen Ellyn, IL

Following yesterday's podcast it sounds like we're back to discussing duo monikers for our running backs. I'd like to propose one theme that I find most apropos: types of peanut butter. Smooth and Crunchy. I think we all know which is which.

That's not bad. I still like AJ2, but I may be alone in that camp.

Paul from De Pere, WI

Lots of buzz about transactions. Is there any benefit to examining the deals that did not happen to understand the inner workings of the team, or simply better to focus on who the Packers ultimately signed?

Sure, you can. But you gotta be able to differentiate between trades/signings that almost happened (e.g. Randy Moss, Marshawn Lynch and Steven Jackson) and those fans simply wanted to happen.

Jason from Wausau, WI

Are the Packers bringing in Jaylon Smith for a workout today or tomorrow?

This was what the Inbox submissions looked like Wednesday morning until…
