I do think the Packers could use another playmaker in the front seven. But I don't think letting Peppers go changes that for the better at all. Makes it worse even if he is wearing down.

They have been doing that. Peppers only played 44% of the plays in 2015, after 50% in 2014. He's always had a reputation as a talented guy who takes some play off. But if it seems like he's taking a lot of plays off, it might just be that he's not on the field as much as some people think.
Uhh..no. I think the idea is that if you reduce his snaps by 2/3, you would get everything he's got on every snap. It might work. It really depends how much he's slipped. I don't have a good gauge for that at all. Mostly old, or mostly slacker or a little bit 'o both?
So if they sign these guys, what are they worth and what's left over in cap space from the 25 Million we have
Stays
Crosby 3-4 mill a season
Raji 5 mill
Neal 5 mill
Starks 2 Mill
Perry 6 mill
Kuhn vet min 800,00
doesn't leave much when you add in draft pick space, I don't see any free agent signings...hope we have a good draft
maybe...

I don't think they keep Neal AND Perry unless Peppers retires. Is Raji worth 5 million? Is he that much better than Guion? i think they keep one of Raji/Guion, with preference to Raji. That said, I don't think TT is going to dip into FA. I bet he's already thinking ahead to next offseason when he has to figure out what to do about Bahktiari and the rest of the Oline.
As for your draft, I'd shit my pants if the Packers got Jaylon Smith that late in Round 2. I also think Schobert goes higher than R6 (barring a medical flag or arrest.) I think TT will draft 2 OL. When do they announce the comp picks for House and Tramon?
I gotta look up this Haeg guy -- everybody's mock has him.
Yeah I don't know what the salary of these players will be just wild guesses, was looking to see what some of the other poster thought
The mock I did had both comp picks in the 4th which I think is unlikely, probably a 4th and a 5th
Most say we get a 4th and a 5th comp for the 2 CB's.
I'm hopin' 2 4's.
You can still snag some players with a 4.
Please let this be the last year for Kuhn.
How about cutting Peppers and signing Bruce Irvin? You get a pass rusher that is almost 10 years younger.
Packers have finally announced their coaching hires (and changes!) for the 2016 season.
Brian Angelicho for the TEs. Ben Sirmans for RBs. Legendary Offensive Quality Control Coach Luke Getsy* was promoted to WR coach. Coaching administrator David Raih has been promoted to Assistant O Line Coach. And Ejiro Evero was named defensive quality control coach.
Van Pelt on has QBs now. Bennet and Clements are apparently splitting the duties of Offensive Quality Control.
* You will be stunned to learn that he has a background with Pitt. Despite geographic favoritism, he is a coach who has a pretty wide resume at a young age (OC at Western Michigan and WR coach at IUP) and apparently is thought of highly by the Packers.

Glad to have dedicated position coaches again after MM's multitasking experiment failed so spectacularly.
But did it really? ST improved, defense seemed pretty solid. Offense was messy, but there were obvious injury issues that contributed. There's no doubt the changes weren't the right fit (otherwise they wouldn't have adjusted), but it wasn't an across the board disaster.
Just pointing out that the experiment that failed so spectacularly was qualified to the multitasking one in the comment... With which I agree.

Mike McCarthy tells Larry McCarren that Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb "expressed a desire" for Luke Getsy to be the #Packers receivers coach.
