Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
If the Packers start to sign players on the first day of FA its a sign of big trouble.

nah. it's a sign of realizing the Rodgers window is more closed than open. it's a sign that all-in is what it implies. it's not an either/or. the cap doesn't have to be sacrificed but even if they do go nuts, to win now, the cap can be fixed later when Rodgers is gone and they're in full blown rebuild mode.
It depends on how Murphy handles this. If he has two or three people reporting to him, its going to shit fast. And that is one way to read how Mortensen is reporting it will go:
Chris Mortensen @mortreport
Ted Thompson will not return as the GM of the Green Bay Packers but will remain with the team. The front office will go through a reorganization with team president Mark Murphy defining new roles for current members of front office, per league and team sources.
If the beat reporters and RapSheet are right and he is hiring a GM to decide the front office and coach, then there is a chance.
It took the Packers 34 years or so to learn how to structure a Pro Football front office for modern times. Going backward isn't going to help.

Just something I've been wondering:
TT is moved out of GM role a few days after signing 2 players to big extensions. Did Murphy move TT out because he didn't like those deals? Did TT make those deals knowing a change was to be made and wanted to clear the deck for the new GM? Neither?
I would think if anything it would be choice B
I think those two signings were no brainers
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 ?
Hmmmm
Well he wasn’t fired, so Murphy can’t be too upset
And it’s not like they were terrible signings
Plus Russ ball would have been involved with the whole thing seeings how is the cap guy. Plus Murphy would have had to be in on it cause he controls the money they would have just given to those two guys
Or maybe the team knew this move was coming and a bunch of others were involved with the signings
I seriously doubt this was an out of the blue bombshell to a lot of people involved
They had to be talking about this for awhile I would think

My prayers have been answered and PLEASE; Mike McCarthy has to go too.
Packer Nation now has at least a legitimate opportunity to win another Super Bowl with Aaron Rodgers.

I asked the question in another thread if anyone knows if we’ve done anything like those two signings in the past
It definitely felt different to me
But I never put two and two together and figured that maybe someone else is pulling the strings, but know you got me thinking
Those signings make more sense if that is the case
That also makes sense. As much as I have wanted change I am worried it will be terrible. Then again I truly believe doing nothing would have been worse. I also wonder if some of this wasn't to appease the fans. I think they took a hell of a hit financially when people knew the team was going nowhere. Part of this may have been to appear to the fans they are doing something. They have to keep the revenue up to pay for Murphy's baby Titletown district.
Those negotiations were probably going on for a month or so before being finalized. Granted, TT's shift to a new role might have already been decided on by that point, as well.
