Depends on whether teams agree that this kid is a lesser player.

You're also talking about a 26-year-old who should just be entering the prime of his career. Not a 31 year old who broke his foot twice and had hip surgery.

Lang: There has been a little bit of contact (w/ the #Packers)…. (Agent) definitely has plans to sit down with Green Bay. #Packers

Despite the Colts' attempts to sign him over the past week, Colts TE Jack Doyle has plans to test free-agent market, per source.

Lang says he's gonna see what kind of offers he gets on the open market, then see if Green Bay wants to match

That's what happened with Bulaga and Cobb if I remember correctly.

[Upnorth]

How much could we get chris johnson (Arizona backup rb) for? He can't be a workhorse but between him, lacy and Montgomery that could be a heck of a good backfield

Oh, never mind he turns 32.....pass

[red]

Guys been saying he thinks he can still make plays for about 6 years now

Plus he likes to blame everyone but himself for sucking

They have too much time on their hands department. Nagler and Cohen would like you to believe that Mike McCarthy's praise of TJ Lang and Eddie Lacy is "pressuring" the front office. Lang has been in line for a lot of praise by McCarthy since Sitton started making the Pro Bowl, but I am not sure this even qualifies.

Their theory: http://www.packersnews.com/videos/sp...fice/98594852/

^ He must have been more forthcoming in the small group interview after his PC (unless I just flat out missed it):

Re-reading McCarthy transcript. Called Lang "as fine an offensive lineman as I’ve had an opportunity to coach in 20+ years in this league."

Still don't read that a pressuring Ted.

Maybe not, but Lang's agent might use that quote to pressure Ted.

[pbmax]

OK, maybe this quote explains it.

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 9h9 hours ago
McCarthy also with strong reply to who'd play right guard if TJ Lang departs: "Those are hypotheticals. I’m counting on T.J. to come back."

Still file this under dodging with hypothetical objection, but at least they weren't making up the elevated level of support out of whole cloth.

Surprised Cohen found time to be at the combine between digging up old arrest records of anyone he can find

Exactly what I first thought!

But McCarthy did seem to hit this theme. On Lacy he said:

Jason Wilde @jasonjwilde 20h20 hours ago
McCarthy unequivocal on Lacy to #Packers beat writers in Indy: "We’d like to get Eddie back. He’s our guy. He’s one of our core players."

He has said previously he wanted other players back but that business comes first. So I still don't think this was pressure, but he's also not dancing around it.

If you could only choose one player, would you rather have Lang or Perry back?

Perry. Younger. Just hitting his prime. Lang is on the downside of his career.
