Packers' Off Season Moves and 2017 Roster

[smuggler]

I think he has just a good of a chance going to a Super Bowl with Carolina as he would the Packers

If by that you mean neither team has a chance. Because Carolina has no chance.

Well, the thinking at 1265 might be to move Bulaga inside and put Spriggs at RT. That might not be a bad idea if somebody offers Lang a ton a money.

Bad idea as you would be weakening two positions on the line. Lang is a better guard than Bulaga, Spriggs is not a better RT than Bulaga (at least at this stage). If they lose Lang I would rather they try a greenhorn like Lucas Patrick who apparently they like at guard and keep Bulaga at RT. Perhaps Patrick can hold his own like Taylor did. If not, they can always fall back to Don "I blow" Barclay or start juggling.

Okay, so Peppers wants to play but the Packers have said thanks but no thanks? Is that what I'm getting from Carolina's post?

I was just going off information that was out there a few days ago that said Peppers wants to play again this year, but that likely won't be with the Packers. That's why a 30 year old Connor Barwin would make sense. I'm not saying he's the second coming of Peppers, but he'd be that veteran presence to work with Clay and Nick to generate pressure. In a 3-4, the LB's are supposed to be the stars.

Hearing Barwin has some options. GB among them.

This seems like some of the smartest dollars one could spend in FA right now if you plan on running a 3-4. I imagine his price will be a bit lower than Perry's but with a little more guaranteed.

The NY Giants have proven the "mullet" approach to defense-building. Get yourself sorted out up front and leave it trash in the back.

then we have zero depth on the line

and no, barclay doesn't count, he shouldn't be in the nfl, much less on the packers

and you know someone or some two or three guys are gonna be lost for the season on that line

Browns gave JC Tretter $10M guaranteed. Deal worth $11M for two years and $16.75m for 3 yrs should he still be there

thats a deal TT should have done in a heartbeat

terrible

#Packers CB Micah Hyde’s deal is worth $30.5 million over 5 years. Way more than GB was willing to pay. Probably could have had him for $5M.

GOOD FOR MICAH, BUT WTF?

The #Bills are giving Micah Hyde $30M over 5 years, source said. $32.5M max. $14M guaranteed

its a fake number

its 8 million guaranteed in a signing bonus. then they went ahead and said the first two years are guaranteed because, duh, they just gave him an 8 million dollar signing bonus. base salaries on 2.3 and 3.7 the first 2 years

= 14 million "guaranteed"

they can actually dump him after 2017 and not take a negative cap hit

i really don't like the idea that lacy is spending today and part of tomorrow with the seahawks, then the rest of tomorrow and sunday with the queens before coming to green bay

It could mean he's going to give the Packers a chance to match whatever offer he gets elsewhere. Is that bad?

thats one way to look at it, the other is that he's giving other teams every chance in the world to sign him away from green bay.

if he's just trying to get a number to show the packers, then why is he spending multiple days with other teams?

or the team could have given him a deal before our rivals dictated his value to us

The only way that isn't bad is if the Packers have nothing to match. TT is so fucking cheap, that he will not match anyone.

[Teamcheez1]

Pretty grumpy people on here today. I see free agency progressing as it usually does every year. We are not going to break the bank for marginal players or overspend for the top tier.

Open a cold one and enjoy your Friday!

[gbgary]

ian rappoport just said pretty much forget about cook.

[gbgary]

martellus bennett signed by the Packers!!

[KYPack]

They did what HW wanted. Signed Perry and are walking on Cook.

Barclay just signed, if anyone gives a shit.

Oh yeah, sign House. He can still play, he got benched in a political deal in JAX
