Official 2015 Free Agency/Contract Extension Thread

Lattimore is a Jet. Packers Special Teams of 2014 have turned into a purge of Central Committee politicians after a spy scandal.

#Packers LB Jamari Lattimore has signed with the #Jets, according to agent Tony Agnone.

Sean Richardson has signed an offer sheet from the Raiders. Another ST player could be gone.

#Raiders have signed Packers RFA safety Sean Richardson to an offer sheet, source said. Green Bay can match, but there is no compensation

I asked this in the other thread by mistake, so I'll ask here. When Oakland makes him an offer, is that based on the lowest tender off that Green Bay gave him? I recall Jarrett Bush got an offer from TN (was it after the Super Bowl?) and TT brought him back. It would be interesting to know what Oakland's offer is. If it's reasonable, I'd like to have him back. I think he's been decent. Do you think the Packers will match?

They matched for Bush and SR is now in a very similar position. Unlikely to be a starter, but a key backup, role player and ST. I think there is a good chance if the deal isn't outrageous.

1 year, $2.55 mil is what I read. Not a ton of money but it's a lot for a back-up safety and replaceable Special Teamer I'd say... Time for Banjo to start Delivering.

[HarveyWallbangers]

I actually like Richardson. In the right situation I think he can start in the NFL.

[pittstang5]

So Richardson was tendered at 1.5 mil and change and Oakland is giving him 2.5 and change. What's a million? I'll be surprised if TT doesn't match.

[Bretsky]

I could care less if we match or not; I'll just trust Ted on this one either way.

[Carolina_Packer]

Unless they've soured on him for whatever reason, they have seen him through college free agency, making the team his first year, getting hurt and rehabbing a serious neck injury, coming back and playing. They seem to like this guy. Depending on where they think his ceiling is, it would be strange to see him through all they have and just let him walk, but they kept Lattimore around for a few years and just recently let him walk. I say they keep him.

[smuggler]

I'm surprised about Richardson. His biggest asset, his long speed, is wasted in the NFL because he never really runs at full speed. I don't think Green Bay will match, but it's only 2.55, so they might.

I started a separate thread about this.

[Joemailman]

Barclay signs RFA tender of 1.542 million. He will be an UDFA next season.

[Carolina_Packer]

I think Barclay is a good get. He's better backup material than Sherrodhouse.

[smuggler]

Packers re-signed Kuhn. No details yet.

[Fritz]

Jarrett Bush is probably wondering if he's the sad little boy on the playground who no one picks for their team.
