Looking ahead to Free Agency

Here's a list of the top 50 free agents. Oh man how sweet would it be to let Grant walk and sign Matt Forte??? Forte and Jennings are good friends so maybe Jennings could convince him to come to Green Bay.

You really think we are going to sign a top 50 FA? And if we did I sure hope it would be a defensive player instead of spending a ton of money on a RB.

Do I think we will? No..but it's okay to have something to hope for! I know we need a defensive player to make an impact...but wouldn't it be nice to have an elite running back to take pressure off the passing game???

[BZnDallas]

what about Laron Landry? with the unfortunate circumstances with Collins, might TT pull the trigger on a bigger name? TT usually waits for the unfortunate circumstance to make a splash... just a thought... then we can look for ROLB and DL in the draft???

[Packers4Glory]

he won't do anything in FA to make a splash. he'll try and throw as much shit against the wall as possible as cheaply as possible

Half those guys won't ever see free agency.

And there's often a reason when they do.

Anyone else remember ths JSO days when guys would spend WEEKS bitching about TT not throwing money out for a FA?

Considering the two teams in the NFCN that got gobsmacked this season are both teams that were very active in FA in recent years, I'd say TT has roster building down to an art. Look at the next best team in the North. Detroit also drafted and developed.

Sure, I'd love to have a guy like Peppers on the field for GB, but there's just as much chance that he might have been Haynsworth. Equally, Mike Neal might have stepped up/not been injured.

I'm glad TT is making the decisions and not any of us living room GMs

Speaking of FA and cap....didn't we have a decent amount of 2011 cap money left? Since we didn't use any of that to extend our folks, is it gone?

Nope, you can now carry it forward without tricking the capologists with fake incentives.

I think Ted might go FA, but not for a safety; for another CB.

Nope, have no numbers for you, even Patler hasn't found good reliable numbers on the new system. Last I read, they had $5 mil or so in cap space but it can all be pushed forward.
