Tracking the status and signings of all 2016 NFL free agents.

[Joemailman]

these lists don't mean much now. Many of these guys will be signed to extensions before they reach free agency.

[King Friday]

Yep...most of these guys will not even be free agents...and those that do become free agents won't even be considered by Ted anyway.

We need a listing that starts around 150 or so.

Early Predictions for Where the Top 25 NFL Free Agents Will Land

Please Note:

His article was submitted 2 months ago and he put a lot of thought and time into composing it and thus it has merit here.

PS:

Have you ever thought of applying your football expertise to entering a Pro Pickem' competition? It's an interesting experience.

I'd enjoy seeing you join our group of NFL analysts next season. If you had the time to undertake that endeavour. I predict growth for you as an NFL fan.

GO PACKERS ! GP PACK GO !!

I'm a member of eternal optimist club.

Even Ted Thompson may change. He might 'in fact' really surprize some here and FA.

Being the eternal optimist and a Packer / NFL fan. I want to try to know as much as possible and share that here. . Anything and 2016 FA may be selected possessing merit of course, and of value to the membership at Packerrats.

Figure the top ones on the list will be resigned. Down towards the bottom there may be some that hit the market, especially if there are higher priorities for a team. Look at what was said about the third Denver guy on that list:

17. Danny Trevathan, Broncos linebacker: Trevathan is a three-down linebacker entering his prime that can hold up in pass coverage. We're big fans of his skill set and he's just the type of above-average starter that gets paid like a superstar in free agency.

The first sentence sounds like just what the Packers need, but paying superstar money for above average starter does not make a lot of sense.

Article was from November. I will remember this thread to see how close this reporter came to the truth. It will be interesting to see how many are resigned by their own team.

[Smidgeon]

And the ones that aren't will be signed by the dregs oh the NFL for lots of money and not go to the playoffs next year.

Wouldn't you care for this fella in the Green and Gold?

15. Matt Forte, Bears running back: One of the league's most complete backs has not shown many signs of age yet. Perhaps he should be paired with another quality option, but there's no doubt he could upgrade many backfields.

Sure. But I think Forte will go somewhere where he's clearly the #1 RB. He's good enough and still young enough. I don't think he'd come here as long as Lacy is here.

At this stage of his career, that might not be the most important thing to him. In fact, he might realize that a situation in which he shares a lot of the load will prolong his career. Being 1b to someone else who is 1a might even be appealing to him. 2000 carries and 500 receptions in 8 seasons is a lot of wear and tear

We'll see. I guess it depends on whether he sees dollar signs in his dreams or a Lombardi Trophy. My guess is he goes to a team that is very good now, but not real strong at RB.

If you are a veteran RB who wants a title, probably your best bet is to sit out the year, stay in shape and just wait until the Patriots have lost 2-3 RBs. Then just be ready for that call from Bill.

So your describing the present Green Bay Packers Joe.

Good .....then ..........according to you we have hope for RB Matt Forte.
