They also have the #19 pick, from Buffalo. Still a bad idea though. Of course, the last time the Browns had 2 1st round picks, they took Trent Richardson and Brandon Weeden.Quote:

He would be Freeman in the #4 WR role like he was in his second go around for Sherman/Favre. But that would commit you to some 5 Wide (to get Janis some snaps) and keeping 6 WR with both Magic and Janis doing the returning and special teams.Quote:

Its at the end of the segment of Total Access: Top FA Still on the Market. He mentions the Packers tidbit while discussing Welker's availability.
i don't get the welker interest at allQuote:

Honestly, I don't know if there is a free agent ILB who would be any more than camp competition/depth. A productive starter from the available list of LB's would be something.
The other positions that need fixing will just have to be fixed by 2nd and 3rd year guys on the team who have hopefully developed, and the draft and college free agency.

Longwell worked fantastically.
Jennings never matched production for salary but was good.
Favre lead them to within a whisker of the Superbowl, similar to Rodgers and you guys last year. (sorry, couldn't resist).
Sharper player very well, big contributor.....where is that guy now.....oh wait.....

Wilde takes it as fact that there was interest by the Packers in both Johnson and Harvin, so he doesn't rule Jennings out on that basis, though he thinks it unlikely.
However, both those mentions of FA seemed agent driven to accelerate visits or contract discussions. Johnson and Gore even said this week they wanted to team up if they could.
This is a long way of saying that Ian Rapaport was wrong about Packer interest in a vet WR.
Now that I said it, I expect Jennings signed by Sunday night.
If they have an interest in Jennings, it would seem to mean they have no expectations for Abbrederis. One of he and Janis would be excess baggage, and from MM's comments, it doesn't seem like it would be Janis. I can't see them keeping 6 WRs.Quote:

The normal people in charge of the Panthers offense must have been on vacation because this move actually makes sense.
I could see them keeping 6 if one or more of them are retuning kickoffs and/or punts. The kickoff return job is open with DuJuan Harris gone. They might want someone other than Cobb to team with Hyde on punt returns.Quote:

Hyde could also see his snap counts on defense increase this year with the exit of House and TWill. Last year Hyde and Cobb split the punt returns. I suspect they may be looking for someone to replace Cobb on punt returns because he is such an integral part of the offense, and now a very highly paid one. Besides, the last couple of years Cobb has been pretty pedestrian on punt returns.Quote:

Yep. Very good KO returner for UW and did punts as well.Quote:

49ers are stupid for not retaining their oline staff...
Sign Guion and Raji, and then you're ready for the draft!
Of course I want Ted to draft a couple ILB's and CB's in the first four rounds, but most likely he won't draft his first one at either position until about the fourth round, by which time we'll all be chewing on our knuckles and cursing Ted.
Last year was an anamoly, I think.
So, RB 1st round, WR 2nd round and OL 3rd round?Quote:

6th round guard, probably. And yes, a second round wide receiver, no doubt.
Ah, Ted.
And....from a small school and was a LT and prior to being a LT, was a TE at some point.Quote:

At first I was going wish him ill, regarding getting his truck back.
But given his recent trouble, Washington St. makes some legal sense.

#Packers LB Jamari Lattimore has signed with the #Jets, according to agent Tony Agnone.
Sean Richardson has signed an offer sheet from the Raiders. Another ST player could be gone.

#Raiders have signed Packers RFA safety Sean Richardson to an offer sheet, source said. Green Bay can match, but there is no compensation
I asked this in the other thread by mistake, so I'll ask here. When Oakland makes him an offer, is that based on the lowest tender off that Green Bay gave him? I recall Jarrett Bush got an offer from TN (was it after the Super Bowl?) and TT brought him back. It would be interesting to know what Oakland's offer is. If it's reasonable, I'd like to have him back. I think he's been decent. Do you think the Packers will match?
They matched for Bush and SR is now in a very similar position. Unlikely to be a starter, but a key backup, role player and ST. I think there is a good chance if the deal isn't outrageous.Quote:
