Free agents

[PackerTimer]

Does anybody have a list of free agents for 2008? I would love to see such a list and speculate as to its possible impact on the 2008 Green Bay Packers.

PackerReport.com has learned that the Green Bay Packers have signed the following players to free agent contracts this week:
-- WR Chris Francies
-- LB Spencer Havner
-- DT Alfred Malone
-- OT's Chris Patrick, Cliff Washburn
-- CB Joe Porter
-- OG Cameron Stephenson
-- RB Corey White

All of the aforementioned players finished the 2007 season on the team's practice squad. Patrick was on the practice squad/injured list.

Francies was on the team's practice sqaud for all but one game this season - Sept. 23 against San Diego - but he did not play. He played in seven games as a rookie in 2006, making two catches for 16 yards.

Cory White ran the ball real well in Pre-season and I think another good summer and he might make an actual roster, whether or not it is in Green Bay depends on how the Packers other young running backs pan out.

[Tony Oday]

Asante Samuel, UFA, New England Patriots
Samuel is quickly becoming known as one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, having posted a league-best ten interceptions last season. He has followed it up with six interceptions this season, and while his interception totals have been impressive, so has his ability to stick to receivers on a regular basis. He’s shutdown quality receivers, helping the Patriots to an undefeated record through so far. If Samuel is not signed to an extension, he’ll command big dollars on the market.


Please I know I know too much for old guy but damn wouldnt it be nice to have Harris as our nickle!

[HarveyWallbangers]

Like Nate Clements last year, I think there is buyer beware for Samuel. One report said the Patriots are likely to let him walk because they thinks their system has made him look like a better player than he is. I'm afraid he's going to get Champ Bailey money, but won't perform like that with another team. For the money they are likely to get, I think I'd take Marcus Trufant or Nnadmi Asomugha over Samuel.

[Partial]

Asomugha is young (I believe this was his third year) and played well under Rob Ryan two years ago. Then again, Burgess was unblockable that year evidently and probably made him look better than he is.

Regardless, I'd look into bringing him in.


edit:

Nevermind, he is 26 and has been playing since 2k3. Still, I think he's good.

[HarveyWallbangers]

Asomugha isn't just good, he's likely one of the top five corners in the game. His stats aren't stellar because nobody throws on him. I really like Trufant also. I think both guys are comparable to Samuel, and they are likely to get less money.

[Tony Oday]

Asomugha isn't just good, he's likely one of the top five corners in the game. His stats aren't stellar because nobody throws on him. I really like Trufant also. I think both guys are comparable to Samuel, and they are likely to get less money.

Im with ANYONE that can cover a big WR after Harris was embarassed in the two big games we played this year...he looked lost.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

Yep, thats the guy I really want. Asomugha is very good and plays bump and run coverage as well. Just a prefect fix and a lot better than Harris.

[hoosier]

Dallas has two key starters (Flozell Adams and Ken Hamlin) as well as a nominal starter/key reserve (Julius Jones) poised for UFA. Anyone know if they plan on franchising Adams?

[Deputy Nutz]

I wouldn't mind the Packers throwing money at Randal Gay from New England. He is a decent corner back that has filled in as a starter for the Pats a time or two.
