    The tricjk is to identify the guy on the way up, and snag him for your price.
    Agreed. Jason Taylor will be 34 years old at the start of next season.

      I think it would be a great move. Kind of like picking up Reggie to put the final piece together. We won 13 games, and Jason Taylor is still a GREAT player. He is very versatile, and we could use his explosiveness in the backfield and he is almost like having a 3-4 defense because of his versatility, he can step back and roam around the field. He is one of the smartest and most instinctual players I have ever seen. If there's no room in the cap for him, maybe Brett should consider playing a year or two for 5 or 6 million instead of ten, if he wants another ring. Speaking of Moss, if we picked up Taylor, we might be able to lure Moss over here too. Pending on what happens this postseason.

      I think we have enough young talent, and we are strong enough to win our division again next year, but Chicago is a good QB away from winning it also, and Detroit and Minny are better than they have been in a long time, so we need to get some star power to take us to that next level like the Pats did. Otherwise, we'll just be watching them or Indy pile up Superbowl rings.

        The two best players on our team are also probably the oldest ones. I don't get why bringing him here would be so bad IF the money was decent.

          I agree with bringing him if the money was decent, but I think he's going to get a great deal of money somewhere... IF Parcells lets him go

            After finishing 13-3 and the foundation for a good team there I'm real curious what offseason moves TT will make. if GB wins it all I doubt he will make too many moves, but if they get to the NFC championship game he needs to try and get some playmakers.

              And once again everyone seems to assume he's just sitting there for TT to take. There aren't 30 other teams out there. Just the Pack and a boatload of money.

                Funny, but she never posted a pic of Grady Jackson with his shirt off.

                  I would assume that's because he took his shirt off and the photographer quit on the spot...

                    If we could get him cheap, fine. However, he likely won't be cheap. I do think he is an upgrade to KGB...who is also getting a little old. However, there may be better options out there who are a little younger and won't be as costly.

                      I disagree. I think he will stick with his plan regardless of how the playoffs shake out for us. The only way I see him making a considerable move is if Favre retires. I also see him bringing in a punter or two in the off season. As much as I like Ryan, he sure became the scapegoat for a loss against the Bears that was a total team breakdown. I am sure he will keep looking at primarily defense in the draft and offensively guards. He will probably take a WR or two and maybe find another cheap RB in FA or cap cuts.

                      Face it, spending isn't his thing and for as good as Jason Taylor is, he is on a horrible team. I don't think you can judge him at this age unless he gets on a decent team. He gets all the talk in Miami because he is the only making plays.

                        Thompson has thrown plenty of money at guys like Bubba Franks and Charles Woodson. In those instances, Green Bay basically was the last suitor for these players.

                        I think Thompson's larger concern in the last 2 years has been the fact that free agents did not want to even CONSIDER coming to Green Bay, because they viewed the team as one that wasn't competitive after their 4-12 season. Even after 8-8 last year, most thought Favre was close to retirement and that more rebuilding would be necessary. That was why no first tier guys realisitically even considered Green Bay.

                        It is hard to spend money if guys you want to spend it on decide to not even talk to you about making a deal. I don't think Thompson is cheap...but he is thrifty. He isn't going to pay money he doesn't have to pay. I think that is a good thing by and large, although Thompson needs to be more aggressive this offseason because Favre's window is closing.

                          I agree with everything in this other than the drafting receivers. I doubt he takes a wideout, but I do think he'll take a tight end late. I agree he'll add some depth to both lines as well as the secondary. I don't think he'll draft a running back either.

                            You know, that was my thought too. Funny how GBRulz wants all the buff guys on the Packers.

                            I'll take back my comment if GBRulz posts a picture of Gilbert Brown in a speedo.

                              I will GUARANTEE you that if such a picture exists, you really don't wanna see it.

                                I suspect that if such a picture exists, it would have been posted on this site already.
