Jordy Nelson signed to 3 yr extension

But drafting at the end of round 1 can bring a lot of quality Cs into play. Look at Pouncey on PITT and the center from WI Konz might be there in that range after this year.

Could very well happen.

I meant information regarding every player's contracts. The cap limit is easy to find, and individual player contracts as they are signed, but I'm too lazy to put it all together in a spreadsheet. I always relied on others to do that! Many had done it for years and years, to the point that there information was amazingly accurate.

I suspect they lost touch of accurate information last year, when contract details weren't always well reported.

They do not keep a running total, but they do have a lot of information.

LOL you would pick Bush over Finley.

Aw come on, you know better than that. But I do try to consider what is needed for a complete roster, and sometimes that means letting good players go, like Adam Timmerman, Bryce Paup and maybe Jermichael Finley. It all depends what you have without them. It's prioritization.

I like having Finley on the team, and if the Packers had WRs like they did during Sherman's years I would want Finley a lot more than I do now. But with their current makeup, he is a luxury more than a necessity.

If they can find a way to keep him, I will be very happy. But if they keep him, and then can't find enough cap space for Raji, or Matthews, or Jennings I will not be very pleased. They are a better team with Finley, but not at the expense of many of the others.

Thanks. I suspect someone will start compiling it all into current and future year totals, but right now no one seems to be doing it very much.

It is not in TT's M.O. to let a dynamic player in his prime get away. The salary cap will be going up. I think they'll keep all their top players. I could see them cutting a guy like James Jones in order to keep Wells.

Bottom line our chances of becoming a dynasty team are higher with Finley on the team over Wells. Also we'll have enough cap to resign all those guys, you have to take guys like Clifton, Driver, Pickett, and maybe even Woodson off the books by the time they need to be resigned.

I can see that too, which is why I wrote in one post that Jones might just be keeping Finley's money warm this year. If Cobb keeps coming on like he has, and, more importantly, keeps himself in one piece while returning kicks, Jones could be a decent trade commodity next spring. Not that they will get a lot for him, but he would be worth something to a receiver-starved team.

[Brandon494]

I don't think they'll end up trading Jones but I could see them cutting Driver if he does not take a pay cut.

Ya, I assume TT will go out and sign that replacement FA first thing in the off-season!

I bet he could sign that Scott Wells guy for peanuts

I like wells but depending on how high he goes I hope we can pick up the center from WI Konz in the draft he is a great blocker and can pull block for the sweeps like no center I have seen in along time he is big but not fat solid muscle and fast and with his athleticism I bet he could play other positions if needed but I think he could push wells for his spot with in a yr or 2.

If this is an accurate assesment then I really hope we do get him. Versitility in a backup olineman and eventual replacement to a very underrated center. That would be a great gift to this organization

Agreed -- DD needs to accept veterans minimum. Already made his money.

No way. Wells is having a pro bowl season.

You must've taken a DEEP breath before typing that.

Punctuation, my friend!
