    Rison was released by the Jaguars. Granted that was when Jacksonville was competitive....

      Like are we really at the point with TT fans that they will actually lie about a players attributes just to defend TT?
      Like are we really at the point where irrational haters have to make dumb ass comments when another player signs/trades a player? Or where we have to assume that just because a player makes an offhand comment about the Packers that it means ZOMG THEY WANTED TO COME HERE?

        Nobody wants a DANSBY anymore?

          I hope we bring him in. It's been a shit show at ILB, take a chance, draft well and have them beat out KD in two years.

            RWG's posting style reminds me a lot of rbaloha. He could never let anything go.

            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.

              I don't have access to PFF, so i don't have Dansby's final numbers, but this was Jan 13, 2016:
              The latest football news, analysis, and rankings from PFF. Featuring data-driven rankings and stats for NFL, fantasy football, and the NFL Draft.

              By the end of the season, Kuechly had allowed a passer rating of just 57.8 into his coverage—the best among all LBs—despite that number being hurt by his matchups with Julio Jones late in the season, a receiver even the best defensive backs in the league can’t cover, let alone a linebacker. The league average passer rating surrendered by a LB this season was 102.5, so targeting Kuechly as opposed to any other linebacker immediately causes a 45-point drop in passer rating.
              That said, I'm pretty sure Dansby will want more money and a starting spot...which TT isn't going to give over his young guys, not at Dansby's age.

                I don't agree at all. Peppers was an old FA and he was allowed to start over the young guys.

                  Dansby finished the year 5th by PFF in coverage among LBs. While I respect the work PFF does, they are just one tool in trying to evaluate a player (like a QB rating or QBR). I'll look at some of their ratings for Packers players, and there are some head scratchers. I think Casey Hayward was one that always seemed to be overrated by PFF. I couldn't tell you how good Dansby is in coverage though, as I haven't watched a lot of Cleveland games recently. That being said, the Packers have about $4-5M to spend. That is if they have no interest in bringing Mike Neal back. If Dansby wants more than about $3M/year, he'll probably have to go elsewhere. Same with Jared Cook.

                  The worry is that Dansby is 34. I know Peppers and Woodson have defied father time, but he's at the point where he could drop off at any time. Hardy Nickerson comes to mind.

                    All jousting with RWG aside, it'd be worth bringing him in to kick the tires.

                      I don't think we paid that much for Nickerson; if you want to infinitely defend TT you could use Joe Johnson as an example.

                          Browns released ILB Karlos Dansby.

                          34-year-old play slipped in 2015, but he's still a quality starter. He graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 3 inside linebacker in coverage and is a known playmaker.

                          Dansby will be looking for a contender.

                          The Browns save $3.5 million against the cap with the move to cut ties with him.

                            Johnson was brought on by Sherman, correct? I thought the underlying premise of this thread was comparing TT to Ron Wolf, the GOAT......

                              And didn't help in the W-L column, either. He was well and truly done.

                                Yes, you are right then.

                                It's an easy comparison. Ron Wolf was not afraid to make the big splash in a different era. He was a lot more John Elway and Mike Reinfeldt than Ted Thompson

                                Ted Thompson occasionally bargain shops in free agency. Had anybody really wanted Woodson we don't land him either.

                                Guys like Ron Wolf are not afraid of shooting for the moon at the risk of a season or two. TT likes stability

                                I don't get much of the criticism RonWolfGoat takes. Many of the points he makes, like them or agree with them or not, are accurate.

                                He subscribes to Ron Wolf/Elway/Reinfeldt............not the draft and develop major TT is. Sometimes TT mixed it in with a speckle of free agency but everybody know's it's not TT's forte......the press/writers/Packer fans.

                                Some just choose to defend him to death and some choose to criticize him for it.

                                If we only win one SB with Aaron Rodgers it will be a shame
