Saturday on a Friday

[sheepshead]

For Tuesday

[red]

good pick up. not a long term answer, but maybe EDS is that guy. a-rod will be very well protected this season.

now we don't have to think about using that 1st round pick on a center and we can focus on the defense

one or two upgrades on D, and we're back in the superbowl

The best part about this is now all you homos can STFU about free agents.

[KYPack]

Saturday is a fine pass rusher... so I think we're set now til the draft starts - take Konz in the first round to groom behind Saturday, then we can forget about the center position for the next 10 years.

Pass hander offer? Pass snap starter? WTF ya talkin' here Wist?

Could one of you lads post some Tuesday Weld porn, pls?

And now news that Daniel Muir has been signed. Ted's outta control!

[pbmax]

Possibly the most brilliant thing about this move is that Saturday's age exempts him from the compensatory pick formula.

Seriously? Exempt past a certain age or did I just miss a joke?

I believe the "Alan Faneca Rule" prohibits players north of 35 from being considered worth more than a 5th round pick in the compensatory pick formula.

Like that'll ever happen.

Was being facetious KY... might as well try him in the front seven, he'd be about as effective as what we've got there... just sayin'

Actually, since Saturday was a cut and not an expiring contract, he doesn't get factored into the comp pick formula. The Colts don't get a pick for him, we don't lose one. Same with Muir I believe. I know he was released by the Colts last year.

By my tally, we're at 3 picks for 2013 comps so far:

3rd round for Flynn
4th round for Wells
6th (or 7th) round for Lee

The rounds are guestimations, since playing time (as well as salary) play into the award. If we sign a qualifying player (or if Muir is a qualifying player in some way) we lose the Lee pick first.

Are you sure Saturday was cut? The articles I got from PFT and Google only mention FA, even from mid-season.

Yeah Wist, I know. Everyone is screwing around with all the FA craziness.

Now post the footage on Tuesday (Weld, that is), willya?

[smuggler]

You're right pbmax. There was a comic strip that had some colts after their mass-cut earlier. He was in the strip w/ Clark, Brackett, et al so thus my confusion.

[woodbuck27]

I've been waitin' all week for Saturday'; he's here!

There you go another POLL.

a)Ted Thompson 'can' cover his ass

b) Ted Thompson worked 'his plan' to perfection.

c) Any NFL player should saivate over playing for the TEAM in the House that Lombardi built.

Nice signing by our teams esteemed GM. TT didn't have alot of CAP room left so Jeff Saturday must have come $reasonably$. The media had him DENVER bound; maybe he suffers nose bleeds.

a) Jeff Saturday and Aaron Rodgers = Protection.

b) Jeff Saturday = Future Center Development (Reduced Risk)

c) Jeff Saturday (HEALTHY) = reliable = Packer fan relief.

d) This signing means 'the BPA Round One' doesn't have to be a Center. (-;

e) RE: downside = I must redo my homework for Packerrats Mock and #28.

Nice job Ted Thompson. (-:

We didn"t change Wednesday did we?


This to me is stop gap at best and if we didn't get him cheap I will be very disappointed.

sure it's stop gap. at least now we can concentrate on the defense now in the draft. as i mentioned in another thread, protecting AR's brain pan is job one and losing a very good center, from our already struggling o-line, changed the focus a draft that didn't need to be changed.
