a couple comments on the article
The way Tausch adds to the chemistry of this team, and the way they played after they arrived would make it very disappointing if GB makes little effort to bring him back. I'm sure he'll get an OK contract somewhere and hopefully it's here
Pickett....they're going to keep him
Colledge...tender him with a 2nd
Bigby...no surprise that they are debating on what to do with that guy
Clifton....good to hear they will make an effort
Sometimes you gotta wonder where the JS guys get their information but I've always believed they get insider info somewhere
It should be interesting to see six months from now how accurate this isTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER -
Most of these guys are restricted.
With Kampmans age, injury and his not-so-great fit, I'm not too worried if we lose him.
Tausch and Clifton are guys that it would be nice to keep around one more year. I don't picture either of them getting even moderately big offers with their age and recent injury history. We should be able to keep one or both if we choose to.
Pickett seems like he has a good chance of coming back.
After that, they're all restricted. We're not going to lose much, if anything this year.
The most important part of this off season is going to be the draft (hopefully we can find a start OL and some other valuable parts). The next most important part is going to be keeping Pickett, then Tasuch and Clifton, but just one of them would probably be enough if we got a good one in the draft and Lang continued to develop.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

After last year Colledge seems to be less and less important. Spitz had the better year, Sitton is stellar, and Wells may have been a better Center than Colledge a Guard. They might be playing poker with him though; if they tender him with a 2nd and a team signs him I think they take the 2nd and run.
With no agreement we may just wait it all out with most of these guys and sign them to one year deals around training campTERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWERComment

NO SURPRISE?!?!Originally posted by Bretsky
According to several well informed packerrats, Bigby alone was responsible for our defense this year! ALL OF IT! ALL OUR DEFENSE BELONGS TO ATARI! How could we not tender him!? Oh lordy lordy lordy!

Well, I guess we can drop Bigby right now if people would rather see Jarrett Bush starting there. Hopefully, an upgrade will come from the draft, but right now Bigby is as good as we've got at SS.I can't run no more with that lawless crowd

I think Greg Bedard must have a closed head injury, or something similar. Or the editors are doing him no favors. Maybe he actually writes in Portuguese and this is the closest translation they can get in a few hours time.
Please tell me what the disparity is.[Rodgers] "Our key is going to be (that) we've got to bring back a lot of those same guys we had last year ... As long as we can keep that core group of guys together. I believe in (coach) Mike McCarthy and the direction that he is taking this team."
[Bedard:]Rodgers may not get his wish.
According to multiple sources assembled at the Senior Bowl, the Packers' off-season plan doesn't include retaining all of their free agents.
Perhaps English is not Bedard's native tongue. Or perhaps, Greg needs a vacation.General manager Ted Thompson said this week that T.J. Lang, a fourth-round pick in 2009, can play left tackle and will be given a chance to do so.
"We'll see," Thompson said. "He's got some growing to do."
OK, so despite not having started contract talks with the UFAs, Bedard has gathered information that the Packers intend to make an effort to keep three of the five, and the possibility exists that Green will win out a spot in TC and that Tauscher could get a low veteran contract offer.The Packers' top priority is re-signing nose tackle Ryan Pickett, who is one of five Packers set to become unrestricted free agents....
Beyond Pickett, the Packers haven't entered into contract talks with any of their other free agents.
In the unrestricted category are left tackle Chad Clifton, right tackle Mark Tauscher, linebacker Aaron Kampman and running back Ahman Green....
But once Pickett's deal is done, the Packers will move to retain Clifton ...
Of the Packers' other unrestricted free agents, offering Kampman a contract is the only move they are set to do.
When asked if the team will definitely offer Kampman a contract, Thompson said: "I'm sure we will."
So how is Rodgers not getting his wish?Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

He never looked good actually playing in our secondary, however. No thank you. At least Bigby will occasionally make that drive ending INT in the end zone to prevent sure points. From time to time Bigby has looked the part, which is much more than anybody can say for Walker.Originally posted by BretskyCan we have Frank Walker Back; who'd have ever thought he'd look good on paper in our secondaryOriginally posted by JoemailmanChuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to growComment

You can't argue the timeline. The defense kicked into the next gear with Bigby's return from injury. Maybe another SS could have done the same thing, in fact I'm sure there are others that could have done as well as Bigby, but there aren't any on OUR team.Originally posted by SkinBasket
When we get someone better, then we'll talk about getting rid of Bigby.Chuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to growComment

I know! Without Bigby, this defense obviously would have been in the bottom two instead of the top two! He brought the magical peanut butter that kept this defensive jelly sandwich together and then he really solidified the middle of the field against Arizona in the playoffs with his excellent safety play! Hallelujah!Originally posted by Gunakor
Despite that, the issue is whether we keep him moving forward. No one's arguing that we do have a better player right now. I'm assuming the Packers would attempt to find another safety if they don't try to keep Bigby.
Then again, I don't know why they don't just let Kampman go, cut Al Harris, trade Matthews and Woodson, fire Capers, and use that money to sign Bigby to a massive contract, considering that some of you guys believe he was exponentially more important to our defense than all those guys combined."You're all very smart, and I'm very dumb." - PartialComment

Not sure I get the Atari of the Sea story. Why is he pulling Brandon Chiller out of the water? Must be something from the bible.
Chewy was right last spring: shoulda traded Kampman while the trading was good.Comment

Really going out on a limb there, huh Skin? Either they will keep their existing starter or try to get a new one?Originally posted by SkinBasket
I have a strong feeling that Mr. Bedard doesn't know much of anything more than the average fan does, and makes educated guesses from there. Why would the Packers NOT want Bigby back, when they have almost zero depth behind him? Even if they draft a safety, why would they want him to be backed up by only guys like Bush and Giacomini? I think the smart money says Bigby will be back.Comment
