    Besides Sherrod and Harrell, which of his 1st round picks/1st pick would you have let go?

    2005 Aaron Rodgers
    2006 A.J. Hawk
    2008 Jordy Nelson (2nd round pick; top pick because he traded out of 1st round)
    2009 B.J. Raji, Clay Matthews
    2010 Bryan Bulaga

    This take is just silly.

      It wasn't a thoughtful take, was it?

        Perry can still be as good as he wants to be.*

        *if healthy
        Yup, this is his issue. If he can stay healthy this year this is a very good signing. *fingers crossed*

          NO way would i have locked Raji up to a long term deal after his rookie contract was up...wait...what

              Yes, because you don't resign your LB who averages 100 tackles a year.
              But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

                  He's a situation substitution guy. A nightmare for offenses on 3rd down when he can just fold back his ears and go. He isn't a 3 down guy, he can't cover, and never will be a bookend OLB opposite Clay. But when used properly, in pass rush, he'll run right thru guys. Worth 5 mil? Yep. A long termer, I doubt it, but maybe he stays awhile.

                    Signing Raji to a one year deal without a lot guaranteed after he spent a week or so as a free agent wasn't much different than letting him go. Essentially, they gave him one year and a change in position to re-prove his value. The torn biceps short circuited that plan, so they brought him back even cheaper in 2015.

                    Hawk would have had to been let go after 2010. Would that have been wise? He had a pretty good year that year, and was credited by many members of the defense for keeping the defense together as they lost 7 returning veterans from 2009 as well as rookies Burnett and Neal all went to I.R. As you might recall, the Packers actually did cut Hawk after 2010, but immediately resigned him as part of a new deal to get around a huge roster bonus in his 6 year rookie contract. At the time, Hawk clearly need to be brought back, although I was a bit surprised at the size of the new deal. But even that was reduced drastically three years later. Letting Hawk go after 2010 would not have been wise.

                    As for Jones, I think it is unwise to decide a year ahead of time that you will release a first round pick who is only 25, and had a much better 3rd year than the previous two when injuries kept getting in the way. I wouldn't be proposing a long term extension, but I would certainly wait until well into 2016 before deciding an approach for 2017.

                      Nick Perry, laughing at people who doubted pbmax and the player's dedication to being a 3-4 OLB:

                      "I'm just thrilled to get Nick back," McCarthy said. "We all know how his first four years went and this was his first year he played through a full season. This will be his first time to go through an off-season program. He's always been rehabbing (an injury).

                      "He's excited about it. He's been at the facility the whole time, too. I look for Nick to be an impactful player for us on defense. His pass rush opportunities vs. his production was very high. He played extremely well in the Washington game against an outstanding player (left tackle Trent Williams). His run defense was very good."
                      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

                        Are you seriously using coaches hype talk to validate a point. Odds are if teams had real interest somebody would have offered more money for more years.

                        What would you expect MM to say ?
                        TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

                            "We are happy to have Dick/Rick/Nick back. We feel he has an important role to play on the team."

                            Also, I take it as a given that since they gave him $5 mil, he must do something of more than replacement level value. Of course if someone offered more money, he would have left, but that was never the doubters point, was it? The point was the he was miscast as a 3-4 OLB and in fact, did not want to play the position.

                            There is no way to cast his signing and good play at the end of last year as proof of his unhappiness at OLB.

                              Yeah. Here I am relying more on the money they spent on him rather than Neal it seems.

                                I don't see how him re-signing for five million changes anything. He does not want to play OLB, and he is miscast in it. It's just that no one else wanted him, so he was stuck taking that offer and now will continue to silently mope while he is misused.

                                Even if he signs a five year extension after this season to play for GB, it will not change the fact that he just doesn't want to do it. Heck, if he came out in an interview and proclaimed that he loved playing OLB in Green Bay, I would not believe him.

                                Facts, schmacts.
