Well, the thinking at 1265 might be to move Bulaga inside and put Spriggs at RT. That might not be a bad idea if somebody offers Lang a ton a money.Originally Posted by Rutnstrut

It's what I have been saying for the last couple of days.

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.
No longer the member of any fan clubs. I'm tired of jinxing players out of the league and into obscurity.

Reunion: The #Panthers are working to bring back veteran pass-rusher and old friend Julius Peppers, sources say.
Joe Person (might be troll but Silverstein retweeted it)
Panthers closing in on deal to bring Julius Peppers back, per source.
That would be good for Julius Peppers rather than any hope and a Super Bowl with Green Bay.

I think he has just a good of a chance going to a Super Bowl with Carolina as he would the Packers
good luck to him. it was fun!
If by that you mean neither team has a chance. Because Carolina has no chance.
Bad idea as you would be weakening two positions on the line. Lang is a better guard than Bulaga, Spriggs is not a better RT than Bulaga (at least at this stage). If they lose Lang I would rather they try a greenhorn like Lucas Patrick who apparently they like at guard and keep Bulaga at RT. Perhaps Patrick can hold his own like Taylor did. If not, they can always fall back to Don "I blow" Barclay or start juggling.
I was just going off information that was out there a few days ago that said Peppers wants to play again this year, but that likely won't be with the Packers. That's why a 30 year old Connor Barwin would make sense. I'm not saying he's the second coming of Peppers, but he'd be that veteran presence to work with Clay and Nick to generate pressure. In a 3-4, the LB's are supposed to be the stars.

This seems like some of the smartest dollars one could spend in FA right now if you plan on running a 3-4. I imagine his price will be a bit lower than Perry's but with a little more guaranteed.
The NY Giants have proven the "mullet" approach to defense-building. Get yourself sorted out up front and leave it trash in the back.

HOFer
then we have zero depth on the line
and no, barclay doesn't count, he shouldn't be in the nfl, much less on the packers
and you know someone or some two or three guys are gonna be lost for the season on that line
HOFer
thats a deal TT should have done in a heartbeat
terrible
HOFer
its a fake number@TomSilverstein 21m21 minutes ago
#Packers CB Micah Hyde’s deal is worth $30.5 million over 5 years. Way more than GB was willing to pay. Probably could have had him for $5M.
GOOD FOR MICAH, BUT WTF?

@RapSheet
The #Bills are giving Micah Hyde $30M over 5 years, source said. $32.5M max. $14M guaranteed
its 8 million guaranteed in a signing bonus. then they went ahead and said the first two years are guaranteed because, duh, they just gave him an 8 million dollar signing bonus. base salaries on 2.3 and 3.7 the first 2 years
= 14 million "guaranteed"
they can actually dump him after 2017 and not take a negative cap hit
HOFer
i really don't like the idea that lacy is spending today and part of tomorrow with the seahawks, then the rest of tomorrow and sunday with the queens before coming to green bay
It could mean he's going to give the Packers a chance to match whatever offer he gets elsewhere. Is that bad?
HOFer
thats one way to look at it, the other is that he's giving other teams every chance in the world to sign him away from green bay.
if he's just trying to get a number to show the packers, then why is he spending multiple days with other teams?
or the team could have given him a deal before our rivals dictated his value to us
