Jeez I hope not......

Yeah, if Crosby leaves we're kind of up a creek. He's the one free agent that we absolutely, without question, need to sign. Not because he's amazing, but because he's young and we won't find a better kicker this offseason.

[vince]

As far as the 3-day window is concerned, I'm not sure why any player wouldn't want to wait another day or 2 to see if they can fish for a better deal. Even if they ultimately are hell-bent on re-signing with their current team, at least they have a chance to up the ante for themselves. I don't see many signings within the 3-day window anywhere. It'd be dumb to do it at this point.

According to some scouts, KHall was the best blocking FB in the NFC in 2010 *when he played*. The problem is, apparently, that the dude can't stay on the field. If he's healthy in 2011, he'll be the starter, assuming he doesn't get shown the door.

It stings a little that Vonta Leach is the unquestioned best lead-blocing FB in the league right now...

[Fosco33]

I think we make offers to Jenkins, Jones, Spitz, Crosby, Kuhn.

Gut tells me we only retain Spitz, Crosby, Kuhn though.

[smuggler]

Do you really think Spitz is back? I think Colledge has a better chance.

[Patler]

Colledge could be expensive. Spitz may have to sign a one year veterans minimum contract to prove that he can still play.

[bobblehead]

Kuhn has 137 receiving yards in 4 seasons. If it's a particular skill of his, it's apparently one the Packers don't value or utilize much. Kuhn has much more value as a short yardage runner.

I think you misread my post....that was my point, that Hall is superior to Kuhn in this regard.

[bobblehead]

Mark me down as officially not having a clue as to whether Hall and/or Kuhn will be Packers this year.

Perhaps we are all over valuing both. Could neither make the team (which seems very possible to me).

[MadScientist]

Signed in 3-day window:
Crosby, Kuhn and Smith.

Colledge will be back during the FA window when he doesn't get the big contract offer.

Jones and Jenkins will be over-paid.

The rest will go to places where they have a chance to make the team.

And just for completeness, the Packers won't sign any FA's from other teams, because the Packers are just too good to waste money on them.

Just to show that he is versatile, and can build a team many different ways, TT will spend a boatload and sign Asomugha and Ray Edwards (to replace Jenkins). He will trade next year's first round draft pick to get Albert Haynesworth. He will re-sign Colledge and Jones to 4 year deals worth $20 million each.

Does anyone know the symptoms of heat stroke? I was outside a while this afternoon, and reading what I just wrote has me a bit concerned!

Drink some water, have a cool bath and a shot of whiskey and try again...

No way Kuhn stays ahead of hall. Every time Hall has a chance to play, he's the starting FB. He's always been their number one guy, and even though I don't see what they see in him, I have a very hard time seeing them keep kuhn but ship hall out. Kuhn was critical last year, but that was a freak year. There's no way he gets the ball on short yardage plays. FB's get the ball on short yardage plays what, once or twice a season? They'd rather give it to a RB who has a chance to break it. I think Kuhn is awesome, I loved him, but I don't see him in the green and gold next year.

Hey smeefers. I'm thinking Kuhn. Availability counts for something. Hall has kind of bad lucked himself out I think.
