teds trying to buy some love for fan fest

its working

looks like TT has gotten the big important guys set up, now he can just focus on the draft

He also must be expecting the Packer's investment fund to rebound (or it has already). I think he's dipping into the rainy day fund if Pickett gets front loaded too.

JSO Packers Blog - Lori Nickel[/b]]I signed the papers today. We've been working on this off and on for a year. I'm just happy to stay in Green Bay." It meant the world to him to be here, his family likes it here.

He got the franchise tag: "I was excited." Wanted the deal done.

"I love this defense, I think I was built for it...I think the defense is going to grow leaps and bounds from last year."

It must be getting dusty in the Atrium.

You have to love a Nose Tackle who is excited about being a Nose Tackle. Good stuff.

I thought he came here in the first place because his wife liked the place.

Not to toot our own horns, but isn't this what many of us have predicted for years now. We've said Ted wasn't sitting on cash. We said, Sherman was an awful GM, so we didn't have a lot of players worth paying and free agency is a bad place to build a team. We said once this core is ready for their 2nd deals, we're going to see the money spent.

Anyway, not a shock, not at all. Just a shock to people who didn't look below the surface of the last few years.

Great news......guys like "the Pickett fence" make such a difference in a defense like Dom likes to run.

GREAT news! Pickett is one of my favorite players! I hope he can stay healthy and end his career as a Packer.

Pickett, Raji, Jolly, Jenkins. . .

Uh, I don't think we'll be giving up too much against the run this year.


If I"m not mistaken, isn't Jenkins in the last year of his deal this year? Should we resign him too?

What about Harrell?

[RashanGary]

I a big fan of Jolly and Pickett. Hopefully I'll be a bigger fan of Raji soon. I'm a fan of Jenkins as well.

Seems like we're short on an ideal 3-4 DE though. I think we should keep either Jenkins or Jolly (I'd lean toward Jolly if he gets his act together) and then hopefully draft an elite 3-4 DE one of these drafts soon.
