So,...what should the Packers do about Mike Neal????

When you make a mistake in a FA signing, you not only have the problem of a dead player, but you have their salary dead weight.

Is the risk of players actually dying while under contract that great that we need to worry about it?

QUOTE=red;772365]or your GM signs siad failed draft pick to a rather large new deal (brad jones, burnett, some might say hawk, he tried to do it with raji, i would say tramon)

overvaluing and spending too much money on free agents isn't reserved for just other peoples free agents[/QUOTE]

Of course not, and it's can be just as devastating. The difference is you know whether the guy fits your scheme or not. The difficulty is that you don't always know whether a guy will continue to produce.

Did Brad Jones really get a rather large deal? wasn't it something like 3 years, 12 million. That's peanuts in the NFL for a guy you expect to play a lot. I don't think he's quite worth it, but it's not large.

Hawk's 5 year 33-4 mil contract was cap friendly, and as pedestrian as Hawk is for where he was selected, it's not a huge amount for a starter the team likes on the field most of the time

Tramon was hurt and 2011 and 2012, helped win a SB in 2010, and was fantastic down the stretch in 2013. He's worth every penny.

Raji - someone is gonna pay him, and let him rush the passer, and we'll see what he's worth, and whether he's disciplined at all. Packers did seem to be prepared to pay him for a lack of production that they helped foster. Would be interesting to hear the conversations about him at 1265.

Clefty? Clefty Crusty? The only other person I know with rhyming names was Marcy Darcy.

You must've had to be a tough kid. Probably helped on the football field in your playing days, tougher is one of the magical trifecta!

'Lefty' and 'Clefty' rhymes, and that's what kids call you when you're a southpaw pitcher. 'Rusty' and 'Crusty' rhyme, and that's what your grandkids call you when it takes you half an hour to get up out of your easy chair.

'Clefty Crusty' is closer to an alliteration, but don't take that literally from an illiterate.

This really is the agonizing part of draft and develop. You can't really pay Neal what he's worth and expect to keep him, because 1. he's worth more to one of the other 31 teams and 2. there are those among them that will pay him more than he's worth to begin with...

I'm in favor of the NFL abolishing the franchise tag and just bumping comp picks to the back of the first round.
