    where are the re-signings?

    i just thought about it. we keep talking in the sitton thread that the money we saved by cutting him will go to signing the younger guys

    but why haven't we re signed anyone up to this point?

    i know TT likes to drag his feet some when spending, but most teams and players like to get these deals done in the preseason so they don't become a distraction

    we're not hearing about anything, even though we had 9 million or so before we cut sitton

    are we gonna wait till the very last minute? (when the seasons over), or are we gonna distract the guys during the season with contract talks?

    free agents


    lang, nick perry, cook, datone, bahk, hyde, lacy, tretter, barclay and goode, oh and peppers

    goode will be re signed for the minimum if kept, no biggie there. peppers will probably retire, hyde they will probably let walk. barclay they should let walk, but he will probably be entrenched as our starting LT.

    that leaves 7 guys who will probably get paid by us.

    where are the deals?

    $9m isn't a lot because you have to sign players throughout the year. Ted usually keeps about $5m to play around with. I expect you'll see at least one signing during the year with Sitton gone. The Pack has done it all ways: before the season, during the season, and even at the start of free agency. The money is now there. Either signing a player now or letting the money rollover into next year.

      So they told sitton they wouldn't re sign him until they signed up all the other guys

      Then why aren't they doing Anything?

        How much advance warning did we get when Daniels signed last year?
        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

            It's only been a week since Sitton was waived. Plus, had they held onto Sitton and chose to let him walk into free agency and the Packers get the comp pick (my preference, but oh well) then it's possible they still would not have signed anyone to this point, even with Sitton still on the roster.

              you do this stuff in the offseason NOT during the season

              you now are gonna have 6 or 7 guys distracted by contract negotiations instead of playing the game

              we couldn't even get one guy signed up in the offseason?

                it sounds like the team decided a week before they cut sitton that they would either trade or cut him, so they've known he wasn't in the plans for 2 weeks now

                but that isn't the point, why couldn't they get other guys signed? what are we waiting for? their values and asking prices to go up?

                what would be cheaper, signing bahk now or after another solid year?

                signing tretter not, or after he makes the pro bowl as a center?

                signing lang before or after you cut his BFF?

                my guess is that TT is too busy this time of year scouting possible UDFAs for next season

                    GM's tend to lose their leverage with other GM's when they are nearing the end of TC and they are offering someone as good as Sitton. Who wants to pay his cap number if I can negotiate with his agent once you cut him? Now, if I covet Sitton's services and don't want to chance him going somewhere else, then I look at my cap health and other expiring deals and decide whether I can splurge and take his cap hit in trade. Most GM's are probably going to say not thanks, I'll just stand by and see if you release him and then negotiate my own deal.

                    As for the guys they haven't signed yet, we don't know the status of their negotiations with the club. As someone else indicated, sometimes they get locked up earlier in the season and sometimes later. Aaron's 2nd contact was in October 2008. Mike Daniels signed his extension in December of 2015. Cobb and Bulaga went all the way up to free agency. Just because the club may have told Sitton that other younger guys are a priority over him doesn't mean they had a time-table in mind.

                              #Packers agreed to terms with LT David Bakhtiari on a 4-year extension worth up to $51.67M. New money avgs is $12M per year. Top 5 for OLs

                              I guess Spriggs will get to spend some time at RT.
