Thread: Packers' Off Season Moves and 2017 Roster

  1. #581
    To be fair, some years the Browns are actually a reasonable roster *sans* the QB. Think Brady couldn't win 10 or 11 games with the 2014 Browns? I bet he could. Rodgers, too.

    Spot on, and I have been saying it for a long time as well. Rodgers makes TT and stubby look great, not anything they do on their own. Sure TT drafted Rodgers, but every draft pick has a degree of luck involved, be it good luck or bad.

    No way Brady wins 10 games with the 2016 browns. 2014 for sure, had a decent defence and run game.

    Just saying, the 2014 Browns were sub-500, but were a good QB away from a playoff team and possible SB contender (considering they play in the AFC).

    Roster composition or backup QB issue?

    More impressed by NE year with Cassel as starter than last year's 3-1. Cassel could not hold another starting QB job.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    It's not hard, but it doesn't taste very good.

    Ted Thompson acknowledged this much about the Packers' running back situation. "We need some more guys," the GM told reporters at the NFL annual meetings on Monday. "We're a little short in a couple of areas. So from a personnel standpoint, we've got to get some more bodies. But we like the guys that we have, it's just that we'd like to get some more."

    That's exactly the damn problem. Ted thinks we just need more of what we have - a few more bodies. What we need is a couple of star quality players. We have plenty of journeymen.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    Ted is always happy to throw shit at the wall and hope some of it sticks.

    Two from Wilde.

    I think Pugger mentioned this news earlier, but here is a writeup of McCarthy saying that Bulaga and Spriggs are staying at tackle. He likes Bennett's personality and thinks he will be a good fit. He was surprised to see Lang go. Its clear the guaranteed money sold him on the Lions.

    http://host.madison.com/wsj/sports/f...c4f9416de.html

    Ted covered here, Wilde's read is that Packers would have kept Lang and Hyde but not at price offered by new teams. Thompson also says might not be done. Its clear they did not expect to lose Lang, the Lions contract was a surprise they weren't willing to match.

    Not to beat a dead horse here or anything but this is why I can see TT go Guard early. If he's just not sold on the current roster being able to fill Lang's shoes I can see Lamp, if Teds top couple of tiers are picked over.
    Now what y'all know about dem Texas boys
    Comin' down in candied toys, smokin' weed and talkin' noise!!!

    Could be.

    Meanwhile, the new TE might be worth the price of his guarantee if only to impart these great questions to all his Offensive teammates.

    Just an update

    We still have about 23 million in cap space

    Read somewhere they may rollover $10 mil to help in Aarons renegotiation. Then there's what $5-$6 mil for the rookies and a couple mil left over for emergencies and it looks like we have enough to bring in a vet RB if we don't draft a guy, or another hole we might not be able to fill via draft.

    We don't need 5 or 6 for rookies. We need 1.5-2

    I've corrected this already in another thread

    And we aren't gonna need to redo a-rods contract if we keep Barry sandering him

    You're right red. Can't remember where in the heck I saw it now but I think the article I read said that our rookie cap hit should be about $2 or $2.1 mil. this year. As you mentioned, we still currently have over $20 mil. to play with.
