Packers sign Martellus Bennett

[Netmag]

This is great and all, but I'll get more optimistic if we get some key guys on D. Our O may be lopsided because it relies too much on 1 guy, but that's Ok because it's good enough to get to and win a Super Bowl (as long as he's healthy).
But that is not the situation on D. Our D was just too inconsistent to go to and win a Super Bowl. Currently, it would require too much luck and I don't know if we can patch it fast enough with only the draft (i.e. fast enough meaning before AROD starts showing age or gets hurt). I think we need to put the odds a little more in our favor on D with a few proven assets.

yeah, at this point we really haven't improved the team much over last season

if anything, we've still gone backwards without a #1 RB and a starting guard

hopefully bennett wasn't our one free agent signing, cause the D needs help

I think they're still about 27 million under the cap. TT won't carry that much into next season. I think there will be about 3 more moves. Maybe Lang/Lacy/Defense. Maybe concentrating more on defense.

Well so far La Canfora has been much more accurate than Demovsky or Wilde. At this point would not be surprised if the Cook offered more turned out to fizzle too.

Yeah, I think the important thing to note is we have all been bitching about TT not doing anything in free agency, so he finally signs somebody and some folks are still bitching about it. Just saying...

cuz times running out. spend more and fix it later when Rodgers is gone.

Rob Demovsky of ESPN Wisconsin reported was $20.25 million over three years, including a $6.3 million signing bonus and $2 million roster bonus in March 2018.

Color me crazy, but does this mean could be a one year deal if it goes south?

all nfl contracts are potentially one year except for quarterbacks...oh wait...

Those numbers are from Spotrac. I was just saying JLC was closer to actual numbers than Wilde/Demovsky.

If you got them somewhere else, give 'em credit.

hilarious. seems like a great guy.

bump lol

lots of love for marty ad hate for cook in this thread

so far this year, cook has been the real deal, and dickhead sucked before quiting on the team and faking an injury to get out of town

[red]

some of the better posts

Bennett is an upgrade over cook imo

Bennett is every bit as good. Had 701 yards receiving and 7 TD's last year.

Cook can go f*** himself. He had a great opportunity and he blew it.

Hell yea...great signing!

Bennett is a upgrade over Cook without a doubt.

Only reason people rather have Cook over Bennett is because Bennett speaks his mind.

Ya'll need re-calibration. Bennett is the real deal. Cook will go back to slumming it as a low-end starter.

Yea, I was fooled also. Thing is, Bennett has been a better player throughout his career. He and his brother got sidetracked by being disrespected and all. He turned out to be a real piece of shit, which is why signing other teams guys doesn't always work out.

[mraynrand]

the other end of the spectrum:

I'd rather keep Jared Cook.

Me too, TB.

Bennett is good, but I think Cook is a better fit for the team.
