I won't disagree with you there, but at least we get to keep one part of what little talent we have on defense.Originally Posted by red

Cardinals released former Packer G Daryn Colledge.

No "TROLLS" allowed!
Houston would be a great addition!
Draft Brandin Cooks WR OSU!
According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Packers are "among those interested" in free agent DE Lamarr Houston.
Houston would be a huge get for GM Ted Thompson, who is trying to get quicker and more athletic on the defensive line. Houston is listed at 6-foot-3, 300, but after watching his 2013 tape we believe he was closer to the 275-280 pound range, at least in his contract year. The Raiders have been surprisingly lukewarm on keeping him. Houston is Rotoworld's No. 2 free agent defensive end left on the market, behind Michael Johnson and ahead of Michael Bennett.

sounds like some of the other undersized 3-4 DE's that TT has drafted lately that have been ineffective in capers scheme (neal, datone)
Nah I've seen this guy play, I see him more as the next Cullen Jenkins.
Draft Brandin Cooks WR OSU!
If we pay him the FA contract it will probably take to get him, I sure hope he is better than Jenkins.
HOFer
gotta wonder why a team with 65 or 70 million in free cap space isn't trying to keep him, if he's really any good
its not like the raiders don't need good players
The National Football Post's Aaron Wilson reports the Packers are interested in free agent DE Arthur Jones.
They're also interested in Lamarr Houston, perhaps indicating GM Ted Thompson will finally emerge from his annual free-agency hibernation this year. Jones is drawing a ton of interest, also being connected to the Titans, Giants, Redskins, and Vikings. He'll probably command $7 million per year or more.

TT doesn't really hibernate, he is more like a cicada. He only surfaces every few years to sign a high dollar FA
HOFer
SI.com does have him as the top defensive FA available

1. LaMarr Houston, DL (Oakland Raiders)
It’s not known why the Raiders, in desperate need of great players all along their roster and with $65 million in cap space, haven’t sewn up one of their few legitimately high-quality homegrown prospects. But Houston said last December that he feels the Raiders are ready to move on without him, a notion that head coach Dennis Allen doesn’t share. At 6-foot-3 and 300 pounds, Houston is amazingly versatile — he can play three-tech tackle, end and even outside linebacker with consistency and effectiveness. Houston bagged a career-high six sacks last season, plus 27 quarterback hurries. And if playing in Oakland has decreased his profile enough that he’s not seen as a near-elite player around the league, someone’s going to get an enormous bargain.
Well the last time we signed an ex-raider it worked out pretty well.

If those stories are citing "League Source", as Andrew Brandt reminded everyone recently, remember its another job title for an agent.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

the titans are going to try and trade chris johnson
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...chris-johnson/
who the hell in their right mind would trade anything for a running back, that you would then have to pay 8 million dollars to, who only averaged 3.9 yards per carry last year, and blames everyone but himself?
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 3h
It is is confirmed and official. Jets are releasing CB Antonio Cromartie, as he tweeted.

Football Perspective @fbgchase 4h
For all the coach speak about how important running and stopping the run are, very low FA buzz surrounding RBs and 2-down ILBs.
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 4h
The 5-year contract for #Vikings DE Everson Griffen is for $42.5M with $20 guaranteed. Pass-rushers are getting paid, too, along with CBs

If you thought Everson Griffen #Vikings deal ruled out Jared Allen, you’re right. Agent Ken Harris said Allen & Vikes parted ways last night

Best team-player fit among free agent defensive linemen? I'm going to send Lamarr Houston to Green Bay as Raji's replacement.
