Letroy Guion now suspended for the first 4 games of 2017 season. We may need even more help on defense now if we decide to jettison him.

Marvelous.
At least this time it was production adjacent.

#Packers tendered 3-technique Christian Ringo, according to a source. Ringo, a former 6th-round pick, was an exclusive rights free agent.

Charles Johnson re-signing in Carolina just takes away one more option from a team that wants a veteran pass-rusher. High demand low supply.

As @AaronNagler pointed out, Guion is due $400,000 roster bonus on third day of league year. If #Packers don’t pay it, he’s a free agent.
GONNA KNOW SOON WHAT THEY THINK

Meanwhile, the Packers gave linebacker Joe Thomas and receiver Geronimo Allison their exclusive-rights free-agent tenders, according to a league source. Also tendered, according to Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette, is defensive tackle Christian Ringo. A deal with another exclusive-rights free-agent, punter Jacob Schum, was struck last week, according to ESPN.com’s Rob Demovsky.
Cook isn't signing for less than this.

Jack Doyle's deal with the Colts: Three years, $19 million base value with another $2 million in incentives, source says.
Cook will be 30 in April. Doyle will be 27 in May. That makes a difference to NFL GMs. I know Cook has been healthy throughout his career, but he had a couple of injuries this past season. GMs are wary of guys about to turn 30 who are showing signs of breaking down.
I see a lot of surprise cuts (or not) around the NFL today.
Will the Packers cut anybody unexpectedly over the next couple of weeks?

Jets reported to be going big on offer to Nick Perry.

If there is one team I would NOT trust to evaluate personnel (even defensive side) its the Jets.
Packers have signed their punter!
Someone else can start a new thread, but Perry has been signed to a new 5 year contract by the Packers.
Up on the PFT web page: http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...ive-year-deal/
Lang posted he is traveling to Home Depot today, not visiting teams. Pretty sure he was joking, but no rumors about his visits.
Hyde is rumored to have several visits lined up and one Packer writer said it looks like he will be leaving if there is that much interest. Hyde did promise to take the number back to the Packers.

As Packers TE Jared Cook approaches the start of free agency, the Lions and Bills are showing the most interest, sources say.
Tom Silverstein @TomSilverstein 37m37 minutes ago
With free agency deadline nearing, #Packers still aren’t making push to sign CB Micah Hyde. Perry, Lang, Cook seem to be priorities.
Packer fan is going to be pissed during the first few weeks of free agency.

Browns working on their OL. They're working to sign G/C JC Tretter, source says. Former Packers starter at center.
IT WOULD BE A VERY UN-TED THING TO SIGN LANG TO BIG MONEY AND LOSE TRETTER, BUT THE POSITION MATCHES DON'T LINE UP. GOTTA BE HONEST, I WOULD PREFER TO SIGN TRETTER BUT GUARD WOULD HAVE HOLE LARGER THAN WHEN SITTON LEFT

JC Tretter will officially be a Cleveland Brown in about five hours. That deal is getting done. Expected to be their new center.
OK, HE IS GETTING STARTERS MONEY FROM A TEAM FLUSH WITH ROOM
What is crazy is I think the Packers can get Lang cheaper than they can get Tretter.
Jayrone Elliot was not tendered the lowest RFA sum of $1.797M.
You have to think the Packers didn't offer Tretter anything. Most would play for peanuts for anyone else rather than go to the Browns.
So you would turn down Joel Bitonio's new contract to play for what? The veteran minimum?
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 7m7 minutes ago
Browns are giving Joel Bitonio a 5-year, $51 million extension that includes $23 million guaranteed, per sources.
The Browns money spends as well as anyone else's.
@ByRyanWood 2m2 minutes ago
Can confirm @RobDemovsky report #Packers didn't tender Jayrone Elliott. Still mutual interest, but Elliott weighing other offers.
Any word on Cook and the likelihood to return?
Poor Tretter. I wish him well, but damn, he could not have picked a worse landing spot.
@CharlesRobinson
G Kevin Zeitler has signed with the #Browns. 5 years, $60 million. $12 per, as expected.
@TomSilverstein 3m3 minutes ago
Bar is set now for @TJLang70. Gives you an idea of the guard market. Leary got $8M per year. Lang probably somewhere in between.
Packers will not sign anyone of significance outside the organization during free agency.
