Thread: Packers 2016 Offseason

  1. #121
    It took Woodson more than a month resign himself to take the Packers better offer and come to GB and be a CB.

    It takes two to tango. Not only does the dumb money need to be spent, but then players must accept they aren't going to get everything on their wish list.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Tahir Whitehead (Re-signed 2-year, $8M deal with DET)
    Vincent Rey (Re-signed 3-year, $11.5M deal with CIN)

    Jerrell Freeman (Signed 3-year, $12M deal with CHI)
    Mason Foster (Re-signed 2-year, $2.5M deal with WAS)

    Brandon Mebane (Signed 3-year, $13.5M deal with SD)
    Adrian Clayborn (Re-signed 2-year, $9M deal with ATL)
    Kendall Reyes (Signed 1-year, $2.5M deal with WAS)

    Antonio Gates (Re-signed 2-year, $11M deal with SD)
    Ladarius Green (Signed 4-year, $20M deal with PIT)
    Ben Watson (Signed 2-year, $7M deal with BAL)
    Marcedes Lewis (Re-signed 3-year, $12M deal with JAX)
    Out of these, the only good signings IMO are Whitehead, Reyes, and Green. With free agency, you're more often overpaying for productivity, especially in the first few days when there's a feeding frenzy. The cap is high enough and teams manage theirs now where they have cap space to sign the players they deem worth keeping.

    Has Tolzien accepted the fact that his best opportunity is as a long term reserve? Is he on the Doug Pedersen career path, a couple years on practice squads followed by 12 years or so as the backup to a star QB or two, where he serves as a sounding board and gathers knowledge and experience for his later career as a head coach?

    Raji considering other, non-Packer, unnamed, options according to a source.

    It pays pretty good.

    Tolzien's deal: According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, Scott Tolzien's deal with the Colts is for two years and $3.5 million — a $500,000 bonus and $1.25 million base salary in 2016 and a $1.75 million base salary in 2017. He earned $1.35 million with Green Bay last season.

    Yup, pays well and doesn't come with the typical physical risks of an NFL career. In practice you wear a red jersey, and on game day your biggest risk is getting hit on the sideline while you are looking down at the clipboard.

    $1 million of Perry's money is tied up in active for game bonuses.

    Nick Perry got a $1.5M signing bonus on 1-year, $5M deal with #Packers. $1M tied to per-game active bonuses. Can earn extra $250K incentives

    Occasionally its nice to see you have read a situation right.

    NFL Free Agents taking Team visits after Day 2 are doing the Proverbial "walk of Shame". There is "No Money Left."

    The difference between Day 1 signers is not much in terms of talent compared to Day 2 - May Day. But the money is hugely different.
    Um.......it's been almost a week and there are no free agents left to be signed. What does this statement have to do with the packers?

    MOST of the free agents are left to be signed. And the prices are much better.

    No free agents left to be signed? Wow! I know I wasn't paying a great deal of attention last week, but I sure must have missed an awful lot of signings.

    Who did Jared Cook sign with? I know many on here thought GB should go after him.
    How about Vernon Davis? Some still look at him as a lost opportunity last year. So he's gone now too?

    Dang.

    Proof there are still FAs available:

    Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky
    The Packers have signed defensive end Ray Drew, a street free agent from Georgia, per a source. Drew spent time... http://es.pn/1QSMl89
