The Packers claimed Trayvon Diggs off waivers, and while there's no rational reason to expect him to save the season, maybe it's time to embrace the irrational. We break down the salary cap implications, the circumstances of his Cowboys departure, and why the "we need bodies" argument might be the only one worth making.

Beyond Diggs, we dive into all 14 roster moves, including intriguing practice squad addition Damien Martinez—a physical downhill runner with elite college production—plus the return of Desmond Ritter as QB4 depth. We also examine the first injury report of the week, where Jordan Love appears as a full participant and an illness continues spreading through the locker room.

The real surprise comes from DVOA trajectory analysis comparing this Packers team to historical squads with similar seasonal paths. The results? Three of the four most comparable teams won the Super Bowl, including the 2008 Steelers, 2022 Chiefs, and 2010 Packers. Sometimes mediocre teams get lucky—why not us?
