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?Originally Posted by Rutnstrut

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.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I would want to win, it ain't like the money difference is going to put the player in the soup line.
Its multi-millions (with some guarantee/bonus) versus veteran minimum.
Set for life versus money enough for your retirement fund. And you might not get ANY of the veterans' minimum if you get hurt. Even in a car accident.
Not to mention a chance to start.

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?

That whole subject has been oddly quiet on NFL network.
Interest reported by two other teams. Packers had to get Perry done first. Now Spoon says Cook and Lang are on the to do list.

Poor Tretter. I wish him well, but damn, he could not have picked a worse landing spot.
At least he will be a well paid starter. I guess that's more important than being a decently paid backup on a winning team. That is IF the Pack offered him anything.
If you're signing with the Browns, there are a whole lot of other teams that don't think much of you either.
Don't know about that. Their o-line could soon be really good with the way they're prioritizing that line.

Plus they have the #1 - the guy from Texas A&M. Defensive beast.
Now they'll dump Osweiller and sign Cutler. LOL...
hahahaha Yeah, he'll be crying all the way to the bank. Congrats to him for really grabbing a nice chunk of Browns money. Ditto that for former Badger Zeitler. And how about that Hyde? I was hoping the Packers would keep him, but sheeeesh, for that kind of money, kiss him good bye. If Lang can skin somebody for the same type of deal, more power to him also. I won't blame Ted for not matching it. And Lacy? Him in Seattle as the new Marshawn is a little bit scary, but honestly, I'd rather risk that and have the Packers go smaller/faster with Montgomery etc. than to pay Lacy what he will probably get elsewhere.
I really hope Ted gets us a top quality FA Corner or at least Conner Barwin for fairly cheap, but I'm afraid Nutz is right - he won't pick up anybody of substance.
At least sign Cook, Ted. He's the top priority of our own FAs in my book.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

Perry than Cook for me. Sign vet CB, high pick at CB and OLB (draft is deep in them) were the other priorities. Lang would be nice, but not at $10m/year. I'd also like to see Lacy back on a reasonable, one year deal.

Apparently Cook talks have "broken off". Must be a big difference between how Cook sees his value and how the Packers do.

@CharlesRobinson
G Kevin Zeitler has signed with the #Browns. 5 years, $60 million. $12 per, as expected.

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.
That's not really breaking news. But hey, they have Rodgers so they might luck out. More likely Rodgers suffers a significant injury trying to do it all.
