Fritz, with all due respect, I realize that you’ve been a die-hard Pack fan since you disavowed the Redcoats in 1963 for refusing to draft Jim Brown. The Packers and cheese go together like Coldplay and awesome.
But c’mon, man! You’re a professor of English, yo! Enough with the cheesy puns. Give us some elegant homophonic/homographic/homonymic puns! (No homo jokes, please.)

I'm not going to stop the wheel. I'm going to break the wheel.
According to Eric Wilson's IG account, he's back with Packers. Linebacker depth and key ST guy.

The Packers are serious about challenging Anders Carlson. Per Bill Huber at SI.com, they worked hard to get an unidentified veteran FA, and both sides had agreed to a deal. Before actually signing, the kicker changed his mind and signed with a different team.
The only veteran FA kickers who have been signed are:
Wil Lutz
Nick Folk
Brandon McManus
Joey Slye
Seemingly, it would have to have been one of those four.

vet kickers can be signed during the season or any other time if need be
we should have signed one during last season
we at least need to have a real competition for the spot before next season
One thing is for sure. If the new kickoff rules are adopted, teams won't need a guy who can kick it 75 yards through the back of the end zone. Place kick accuracy will be the only thing that matters.

I cast my vote for Nick Folk.
At the least he'd show our green kid what it means to be a pro.
He only missed one FG last season.
29 of 30. He missed two XP's.
Our youngun was last in the league in missed XP's.
Bring him to camp and lettum fight.
Actually our youngun was first in missed XP's.

Not a bad signing. Probably an inexpensive contract for GB and he's solid depth. He's better than Ty Summers.
When you miss the most xp's, you are last, bitchActually our youngun was first in missed XP's.
I wonder if said kicker knew he was competition for Carlson, and if Carlson kicked well, the vet was gone. So off he goes to a team who makes him the undoubted #1 kicker guy dude.
As to whether Anders Carlson was #1 in the league in missed extra points, or whether he was last in extra point conversions, the answer is, well, yes.
I think Daniel Whelan needs to bring Carlson back to Ireland this offseason and have the kid play some rugby over there. Somehow, I think that'll straighten the kid right out.

you might see a whole lot of old guys coming out of retirement if thats the case
I'm going to Ireland in May. Will take in the Heineken 7's rugby tournament.
Planning on partying hard.
If I see Whelan I'll give him the word.
You're going to have a blast, KY. Been there before? The wife and I went in 2019. She was Irish, and everywhere we went (okay, every pub), as soon as the locals found out she was Irish - and as soon as she flashed that big smile she had - everyone was buying everyone rounds. Fun people, those Irish. It's just so different traveling there, too. If you and I wanted to get together here, Id make the six-hour drive down to where you are from where I am. But if it was Ireland, with those narrow, twisting lanes they call roads, that same trip would take two days.
An old college buddy used to play rugby in Toledo. It was a blast to watch him and his team play, though frankly I don't understand the rules, exactly.
Tell Danny boy to toughen Carlson up.

Folk resigned with the Tennessee Tuxedos.
I'd like to see us bring in a vet kicker, but don't have an idea who would be the right player.
120+ college teams, all of them have a kicker, most of them fairly competent, probably minimum of 30 coming out of colleges every year. What we ought to do is bring in at least 3 or 4 young kickers for tryouts. Odds are somebody would be worthy of a practice squad spot even if they didn't actually beat out Carlson.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
Packers have signed former Vikings kicker Greg Joseph. Competition for Carlson.

wow, way to lower the bar for carlson to "win" the competition
No. Packers got even with the Vikings for signing Aaron Jones.
