Is anyone else somewhat frustrated?

[DannoMac21]

I mean, I know. We went 13-3. We went through this same thing last year. We had a great season, but c'mon. At least one signing wouldn't hurt.

Who would you want?

[PlantPage55]

I would like to see a Guard added or a back-up/competitive Linebacker

But if we don't sign them, I'm not going to be upset. I mean, no signing outside of Randy Moss - who probably doesn't want to play for us - is going to make our team much better vs. the money we'd spend.

I'm not the least bit frustrated. I think it'll be important the next two years that the team maintain its discipline. We don't know what is going to happen with the CBA, and there are a lot of contributing players to re-up, particularly in '09.

2 days into FA though, it didn't take long for the Pack to fall behind in the spending spree...

For those not wanting to click, the Packers are the only team in the league not to sign anyone yet...

Interesting, all other franchised FAs are listed under the "Key Free Agent Gains" column. But because Williams was traded, he is listed under the "Lost/Released" column as "traded for '08 2nd" I think he should be in the "Gains" column, too, as "Franchised-but traded for '08 2nd".

Am I frustrated? Not at all.

I want the Packers to be a great team. However we get there is fine with me. The best path to improving your team is longterm through the draft.

No, just curious mostly. One year we got Pickett and Woodson, another we got Frank Walker. Wide range of contributions (or lack thereof) there. Just wondering what diamonds in the rough are out there that TT may be looking at.

After witnessing all of last year I don't see how we can be frustrated after two days this year. Heck, after last year TT could hibernate through free agency again this year and it'd be hard to be disappointed. My expectations are nothing. If TT would just sign a starting OG and have a good draft I'd be elated.

Just wondering as I really haven't been paying much attention, but what guards are available that would fit us?

The first Colt OG is off the board but Scott is still available

Thanks. I thought I heard Faneca signed somewhere, but that's just cause you guys said his name so many times that it stuck.

Bedard from the Journal-Sentinel really likes the Miami product and thinks he's athletic and would fit very well with the zbs.
Rex Hadnot 6-2 325
Bedard used to cover the Dolphins.

These guys are also available yet.
Jacob Bell 6-4 295
Jake Scott 6-5 295

And I think these two are as well...
Justin Smiley 6-3 311
Cooper Carlisle 6-5 295

Not frustrated...but I wouldn't have minded Randal Gay.

He is very close to signing and probably will sign with the Jets; sounds like 5Yr 40 Million

Jake Scott is the guy it seems that everybody in here would like based on past discussion. It will be interesting to see what money he signs for and if TT shows any interest
