Packers 2016 Offseason

[Patler]

Um.......it's been almost a week and there are no free agents left to be signed.

No free agents left to be signed? Wow! I know I wasn't paying a great deal of attention last week, but I sure must have missed an awful lot of signings.

Who did Jared Cook sign with? I know many on here thought GB should go after him.
How about Vernon Davis? Some still look at him as a lost opportunity last year. So he's gone now too?

Dang.

Proof there are still FAs available:

Rob Demovsky @RobDemovsky
The Packers have signed defensive end Ray Drew, a street free agent from Georgia, per a source. Drew spent time... http://es.pn/1QSMl89

Sorry. Only Day 1 FAs count.

Or so I've been told.

lol. he's a street FA. he'll probably be cut in training camp.

[George Cumby]

So who determines which FA signing counts and which don't. Thrill me with your acumen.

MOST of the free agents are left to be signed. And the prices are much better.

The prices are better because the talent is worse. For the most part it's scrapheap guys, players on the wrong side of 30, injury plagued, bad character guys like Hardy and Aldon smith , etc. I am not seeing much left in the way of impact players at positions of need for the Packers. Sure they may pick up a guy or two. But they will be just guys. Filling up the roster not helping us win games.

I was speaking hyperbolically. Obviously there are people unsigned. Just not many worth a damn. I would love if Ted took a flyer on cook. Won't get my hopes up though.

FA TE Jared Cook

Cook was a complete non-factor last year, hauling in just 39 catches for 481 yards with zero touchdowns. The 28-year-old never lived up to his five-year, $35.11 million contract. Nearing age 29, Cook has gone 19 consecutive games without scoring a touchdown.

FA TE Vernon Davis:

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports free agent Vernon Davis is visiting the Redskins on Thursday.

Redskins GM Scot McCloughan drafted Davis in San Francisco, but this is not a great fit. The Redskins already have a primary pass catcher in Jordan Reed, and Davis does not offer much as a blocker. Davis' market has been quiet thus far

Jared Cook is still a street FA.

[Patler]

Jared Cook is still a street FA.

...and therefore he doesn't "count" as a free agent, or so I have been told.

[Bretsky]

there are probably well over 100 Kuhn like FA talent out there still; not sure what there is to complain about. We all know TT does not play early. This is the time to celebrate more draft picks due to FA losses. Only the Ravens have more since the rules changed.

[BZnDallas]

Has anyone discussed if Tolzien is gonna produce a comp pick next year? Cant recall reading if anybody has, so sorry if its been discussed. I know we all pretty much agree on most likely a 5th for Casey Hayward. Im guessing a 7th if anything. Could he net us a tradeable 7th perhaps?

Doubtful that Tolzien will bring a draft pick. I think this year the cutoff was nearly $3M/year. Players who signed contracts for less than that did not bring draft picks to their former clubs.

Ahh preciate ya Patler. That makes sense. Heck that could bring Casey's comp pick down then. He only got 3.1 mil per right?
