To be fair, some years the Browns are actually a reasonable roster *sans* the QB. Think Brady couldn't win 10 or 11 games with the 2014 Browns? I bet he could. Rodgers, too.

To be fair, some years the Browns are actually a reasonable roster *sans* the QB. Think Brady couldn't win 10 or 11 games with the 2014 Browns? I bet he could. Rodgers, too.
Just saying, the 2014 Browns were sub-500, but were a good QB away from a playoff team and possible SB contender (considering they play in the AFC).
It's not hard, but it doesn't taste very good.
Ted Thompson acknowledged this much about the Packers' running back situation. "We need some more guys," the GM told reporters at the NFL annual meetings on Monday. "We're a little short in a couple of areas. So from a personnel standpoint, we've got to get some more bodies. But we like the guys that we have, it's just that we'd like to get some more."

That's exactly the damn problem. Ted thinks we just need more of what we have - a few more bodies. What we need is a couple of star quality players. We have plenty of journeymen.
Ted is always happy to throw shit at the wall and hope some of it sticks.
Two from Wilde.

I think Pugger mentioned this news earlier, but here is a writeup of McCarthy saying that Bulaga and Spriggs are staying at tackle. He likes Bennett's personality and thinks he will be a good fit. He was surprised to see Lang go. Its clear the guaranteed money sold him on the Lions.

Ted covered here, Wilde's read is that Packers would have kept Lang and Hyde but not at price offered by new teams. Thompson also says might not be done. Its clear they did not expect to lose Lang, the Lions contract was a surprise they weren't willing to match.
Could be.
Meanwhile, the new TE might be worth the price of his guarantee if only to impart these great questions to all his Offensive teammates.

Just an update
We still have about 23 million in cap space
Read somewhere they may rollover $10 mil to help in Aarons renegotiation. Then there's what $5-$6 mil for the rookies and a couple mil left over for emergencies and it looks like we have enough to bring in a vet RB if we don't draft a guy, or another hole we might not be able to fill via draft.
And we aren't gonna need to redo a-rods contract if we keep Barry sandering him
