You might remember that back in 2010 Thompson tried to deal for running back Marshawn Lynch but backed out after the bidding went from a fourth-rounder to a third. Seattle got him at that price, and it turned into a franchise-changing move.
Just think. IF TT had traded for Marshawn Lynch in 2010, maybe the Packers would have...Never mind.

As for a pass rusher who might be had, that’s where the hard work begins. I asked a scout with another team if there were any who might be available, and as an exercise he took a few minutes to look through rosters and salary-cap hits. He found no obvious candidates.
Darn it.

“Go raid somebody’s practice squad,” the scout said. “You can’t stay status quo.”
There's a plan.
