    priorities people
    Guion was a phone call from TT telling his agent that he either restructured or he would be on the street. Not much choice there.

    the Packers HAVE to face the fact that they'll have to over pay some to get the free agents they want. it's not exactly the entertainment capital of the world so you have to give the ONLY incentive you really have to attract people...and that's money. when you have a qb like Rodgers you have to go the extra mile (or dollar). go into cheap mode and fix it later when he's gone.

    A little perspective: Last year the Packers signed Jared Cook on March 28.

    You at least got this correct.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    LIFE IS ABOUT CHAMPIONSHIPS; I JUST REALIZED THIS. The MILWAUKEE BUCKS have won the same number of championships over the past 50 years as the Green Bay Packers. Ten years from now, who will have more championships, and who will be the fart in the wind ?

    It's agent talk, Red.

    Guy missed six games with injury. 30 catches, one touchdown.

    A five year deal? He won't be playing after two seasons.

    I'd sign him for a two year deal, he's a physical monster.

    But we have to dick around playing contract games first.

    Cook wanted back in GB...but he really didn't

    He wanted the max money he could get and hoped GB would give him that

    I'm fine moving on given we got somebody with similar talent.

    My reply to Red was rendered stupid in 90 minutes.

    this whole day makes since if while negotiating with cooks agent, TT gets a call from bennetts agent, saying bennett is looking for a total less then what cooks asking

    talks broke down with cook because they knew they had bennett for cheaper

    Sounds like Cook (agent) fucked this up.
    C.H.U.D.

    I agree. He could end up playing with another mediocre QB.

    Packers apparently offered more years and a higher salary to cook than they did Bennet. Will be interesting to see what he ultimately signs for. I think he fucked up big time.
    Go PACK

    If the Packers offered more than what they paid Bennett...and Cook turned it down...he's probably feeling rather stupid right now. The market for his services just dried up rather quickly when the hungriest team in the market for a TE just signed another guy for less.
    It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

    They've already traded for the Colts' Dwayne Allen. Signing Cook would be a lot of money tied up at the TE position.

    Am I the only one that would not be surprised to see them sign All Day Pederson ?
    Look with Hoody Genius dud with Blount; thoughts to ponder.
