Packers Offseason/Free Agency Thread

[Fritz]

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.

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.

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.
