  • — Former Bears running back Matt Forte, who the Packers seemed legitimately interested in, signed a three-year deal with the Jets worth $12 million, which included $8 million guaranteed. As a source told Packer Report on Wednesday, what the Packers really couldn’t match was role: Forte will be the No. 1 back for a pretty good Jets team; he would have been the No. 2 behind Eddie Lacy with Green Bay.
    Yeah, that's the rub. Forte is still a viable starter, and might be for a year or two longer. We have Lacy and he should be in fine form next year. We should draft C.J. Prosise as our change-of-pace back. Let Starks get his payday from New England.

      Broncos acquire Mark Sanchez from Philly for conditional draft pick. Process has begun #9news #9sports

      Ouch. Rebuilding sucks.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        So they have their backup.

          There's been a lot of buzz in Dallas papers about Jones' continued infatuation with Manziel. And he has taken risks on character risks before if he thinks the talent is there.

          • Lions hosting Russell Okung today.

            As someone who despises the Lions and hopes the new GM is as piss-poor as the last two or three or four have been in Detroit, I find this strangely encouraging: spend all that cap money right away to plug holes! Now if the new guy trades up to get into the late first round for a second first round pick and gives up a second and third to do so, then I'll be happier.

              You can be ecstatic at the money they paid Megatron's replacement.

              • Yes, they think he can be a #1A with Tate, but he couldn't do it even with AJ Green on the other side.

                • Russell Okung's still decent but best days are behind him. Let Detroit sign him to a mega contract. He won't earn it, plus SEA loses their starting LT.

                      He's only 28. No reason he can't give good value over the likely term of a contract.

                      • Martavious was rumored to be in line for a year long ban. He just announced he was going to rehab. Wonder if he plea bargained?

                              • Andre Smith to the Vikings for a seemingly pretty good price, $3.5 million. This is a guy I would have liked the Packers to talk to, he missed a bit of time last year, but has been mostly healthy.

                                Minneapolis here I come...Excited to join the great Vikings organization today on a 1-yr deal!!#SKOLVikings!!

                                The Vikings came into the offseason with plans on upgrading their offensive line and they opened free agency by signing guard Alex Boone away from the 49ers.
