Free Agency So Far

[Bretsky]

Thus far we've failed in free agency. Of course the jury is still out but I don't see us using the money that we saved by not keeping Lang or Hyde on many, if any quality free agents.

Did anybody really think Perry was leaving ? We were going to pay for Nick Perry.

Green Bay was far stronger before free agency than they are now; it's an annual thing. Of course our players will improve.....nobody else's will......and we'll use the draft to try to get back to near the level we were when we lost our last playoff game

The Packers are stronger at Tight End
Probably weaker at Guard
Cornerback is about the same.
A little weaker at OLB.

I think TT will still sign someone or 2. In the end, free agency will probably be a wash.

The Packers are stronger at TE
The Packers are much weaker at OG
CB, maybe is about the same at best but I'd probably take Hyde over House for the same money
The Packers are a much weaker at OLB after losing both Peppers and Jones without any replacements

Not sure how I feel about Losing Lacy.

The options are dwindling; we're restocking via draft.

Is this comparison with last year at this time (offseason) or just FA season this year?

Because cornerback is probably better, even if its not good enough, by just adding House to the existing trio. Whatever is lost with Hyde at slot is overshadowed by House outside.

This is just this year

Gains from players healing alone usually make this untrue.

A "successful" free agency season is synonymous with failure in the draft. The fact that we need full price help at TE, OLB, CB, and RB is because players at those positions, players on rookie contracts well below market value, have disappointed. No amount of free agents can repay those opportunity costs. This idea that we're one or two overpaid guys away from a superbowl is stupid; we're 3 or 4 vastly underpaid guys away.

At one point the 2013 draft looked like a home run deep into the stands. It was squandered and now the whole thing (minus Bakhtiari) got away without any rings.

Just WOW. Very well stated.
