Packers' Off Season Moves and 2017 Roster

[Deputy Nutz]

There is a rumor out there that the Packers are signing LaGarrett Blount. Haven't seen it anywhere but heard it reported as a rumor on the radio

Maybe from here. http://lombardiave.com/2017/03/14/le...n-bay-packers/ Not so much a rumor as a suggestion that it would be a good idea.

He would be an excellent addition to the team. he is a very physical punishing runner. But I doubt this is something TT will do.

[Deputy Nutz]

At this point I would like to see the Packers look to free agents just as fillers, or one year deals. There is no reason why the Packers can't sign a player like Blount.

Packer Report @PackerReport 32m32 minutes ago
#Packers have lost seven free agents this offseason. Subject to change but might be moving on from Goode, too.

Goode and Chris Michael are the odd men out still.

Anyone else get the sense that Ted didn't like his roster much last year? Or was it that they were so middling they weren't worth paying.

I think Lacy and Jones were meh guys who got paid more than they are worth.

I bet he would have loved to have Tretter and/or Lang back though at a lower cost than what they got from Cleveland and the Loins. When you assume Rodgers is getting a new contract next offseason, you have to plan accordingly. He is probably going to get $25M per.

I read somewhere that the Packers would have made Lang the 5th highest paid guard if they had retained him. I like him, but not at that cost with his injury history and age.

[Pugger]

I project that House isn't on the final 53 this year.

Do you think Gunter, Hawkins and Waters are better than House? IMO he is better than these 3 and will be on the final roster unless Ted takes 3 CBs in the draft next month.

i'll bet it's more. he's on 22m a year now.

Aaron Rodgers signed a 5 year, $110,000,000 contract with the Green Bay Packers, including a $33,250,000 signing bonus, $54,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $22,000,000.

that's if he's not so disgusted by the failing of his "all-in" decree and retires/becomes a free-agent/or is traded.

Blount had 18 rushing tds last year.
That's 3 x more than Lacy, Starks, Montgomery, Michael, ripkowski had combined.
You're right who cares

The guaranteed money in his deal is huge. Can't blame him. Nearly $20 million. For a Guard, he got paid. Good for him.

I don't think that it is the loss of Lang that I question it is the replacement. Usually a GM should have an understanding what the value of his players are and he should be working to have a suitable replacement. I assume that Thompson has a better feel for his roster than I do, but I don't see a suitable replacement.

He's always got a 6 or 7th rounder or a street free agent replacement. Ted is always on the ball!!!
