Sat, 28 Apr 2001 23:52:04 -0700
The Journal Sentinel reports Green Bay Packers QB Henry Burris, who joined the team from the CFL, continues to work hard to earn his roster spot. The Packers saw enough of Burris' live arm, charisma and work habits to bypass drafting a quarterback. Burris is small and not all that fast, but he does throw a nice ball. "He's a talented kid and a hard worker," offensive coordinator Tom Rossley said. "But he's young and really raw." Currently veteran QB Doug Pederson is No. 2 on the depth chart, but the No. 2 and 3 QB jobs remain open. "I would say logically (Burris) can only be a No. 3 (this year), but who knows?" Rossley said.
Sun, 01 Apr 2001 04:12:58 -0700

Sun, 18 Mar 2001 11:50:11 -0800
The Press Gazette reports as the Green Bay Packers prepare for next week's mini-camp coach Mike Sherman has some areas he'd like to focus on, after reviewing last year's game films. He wants to improve the red-zone offense which finished in the middle of the NFL, the success rate on intermediate third-down conversions (three to six yards) must improve as does the two-minute offense. More than 60 Packers players are expected to attend starting next week. QB Brett Favre will attend the mini-camp, but he'll take part only in the morning workouts. The Packers want to get a close look at CFL QB Henry Burris who is expected to compete for the team's No. 2 or No. 3 QB slot.
Sat, 10 Mar 2001 21:29:12 -0800
As a follow up to an earlier story, the Journal Sentinel reports the contract agreed to with the Packers by QB Doug Pederson is believed to be an incentive-laden contract near the veteran's minimum of $477,000 for 2001. Pederson has a good chance to be the team's No. 2 QB, but it's not guaranteed. CFL product Henry Burris will be in camp and coach/GM Mike Sherman has said he hopes to draft a quarterback and the Packers still could sign another veteran. Agent Ben Geller said four teams were very interested in Pederson, but the QB preferred to be in Green Bay.
Wed, 07 Mar 2001 04:45:27 -0800
The Press Gazette reports the Packers are giving some thought to signing former Packers QB Doug Pederson as their No. 2 QB. Except for Brett Favre, the only other QB on the Packers roster is CFL import Henry Burris. He'll probably need at least a year of NFL seasoning to become the team's No. 2 QB. Pederson is an unrestricted free agent after being cut by Cleveland last week. The Packers are reportedly considering several prospects for the No. 2 job. Agent Benjamin Geller said he'd like to have Pederson signed with a team by the end of this week. The Packers could also look to fill the need via the NFL Draft or with a trade for a veteran QB like Ty Detmer.
Sat, 24 Feb 2001 00:41:46 -0800
The Journal Sentinel reports the Green Bay Packers have waived last year's No. 3 QB Danny Wuerffel. He will become an unrestricted free agent Friday. GM Ron Wolf made it clear if No. 2 QB Matt Hasselbeck were traded it would be highly premature to regard newly signed Henry Burris as a legitimate candidate for the No. 2 job. Speculation has been rampant Hasselbeck is about to be traded. Wolf, however, denied that any offer had been made as of now. Wolf would not comment when asked if he'd accept Baltimore's first round pick in exchange for the QB. The Ravens reportedly one of the four teams interested in Hasselbeck.
Fri, 23 Feb 2001 19:14:53 -0800
