This is Fergy's breakout year!
Played 16 games as a rookie. Missed last 12 games of 2015 with torn patellar tendon. Missed all of last year with a shoulder injury.
This is one that I think can actually help. Like has been said, if he flops it's really no loss.
Ferguson should help out, as long as ego doesn't get in the way.
blah, i keep hearing over and over on here that if another team casts the player off or doesn't resign him, it obviously means he sucks
Ego, I hear, is just an I.
L'eggo my Ego.
It's pronounced Eye-go
After 10 long years, the Favre fanboys are finally right: TT has a big ego.

DT Ego Ferguson failed his physical with the Packers and was released after they claimed... https://t.co/hyfTbnj9pJ
Ego bruised.
And before anyone asks
NO, that doesn't count as a free agent signing
hahahaha ........ I bet he plays somewhere else and does well.
OK, so if we were looking for someone like Ego, are they looking at possibly signing anyone else to fill the spot he was going to take? Perhaps once Jonathan Hankins comes down to earth with his asking price, the Packers might have a look.
I cannot see that Packers investing serious money at DL at this point, not with so many needs elsewhere on defense. Of course that probably means they will do just that.
There is nothing at the link provided by 24/7 sports that contains a report that another team is interested. Its a link to Jordan Raanan's Twitter account and specifically the report that Hankins is seeking $10 mil per year. If you look through the last two weeks of his Tweets, nothing about second team.
EDIT: It IS in a Tweet that doesn't mention Hankins by name however.
Jordan Raanan @JordanRaanan
All quiet although I heard over past week or so there was another team in mix. Not sure what to make of that https://twitter.com/hwy20boy/status/850445644154249217

Johnathan Hankins' new 3-year deal with the Colts includes $14.5 million guaranteed, per slice.

Former Giants' DT Johnathan Hankins, the top-rated available free agent, is signing a 3-year, $30M deal with Colts, source tells ESPN.
Lotta people were climbing on agent for demanding $10 mpy. He has apparently had some bad deals and lost clients. But he landed a deal whose public top line makes him look like he delivers.
