You Make the Call: House or Barwin

[Fritz]

Fuck the poll. Tt is drunk right now, sign barwin, sign house, draft watt, then trade up and draft jones.

Maybe Red is up in GB, pushing Ted back down into his Barcalounger, "No, Ted, don't get up. Have another swig of the Jack here. And I programmed Connor Barwin's agent into your speed dial."

Or some version of Saw. If Ted doesn't sign a FA/cut off a limb, red won't tell him where Brian Gutenkist is tied up.

i like these ideas

[red]

bring them both in now, and maybe sign another good CB

Well, house is visiting the Steelers and barwin is in Cincinnati today

I blame the 16 of you that voted for Barwin. You have hurt House's feelings.

For the poll, I said Barwin, because I think he's more of a difference maker. If the GM asked me what to do (right) I'd say see if you can fit them both under our cap this year. It gives you vets, one of which is going to help to move the QB's feet, which wasn't done very well by the end of the year when Perry was wearing a club, Clay's shoulder was a mess and Peppers was not as spicy as he once was. I know some hate the injury "excuse", but sometimes guys gutting it out to help the team aren't as effective as they normally would be. At this point in free agency, there probably isn't a guy to throw money at. I know there is another thread for this, but the more I think about it, Malcolm Butler for Green Bay's 1 this year might be just what the doctor ordered. Think how many times you've said "meh" about a first-rounder after they've been with the team a few years. To have a "broken in" cornerback who can legit cover the other team's number 1 receiver is worth the failure rate of first rounders.

the problem with butler is that its not just as easy as flipping NE a first round pick

you still have to negotiate a long term deal for him, which will be nowhere close to cheap

if you can't come to a long term agreement with him, then you just spent a first round pick on a one year player

IMO this discussion is a waste of time. TT is not going to pay 13MIL a year PLUS give up a 1st rounder.

Barwin is a realistic and at least a start. You guys know Free Agency is the season of disappointment

[smuggler]

Bretsky nailed it. Case closed.

CB Davon House has agreed to one-year deal with the #Packers, according to a source.

Looks like House is in the, "house" for another year. I still want us to sign Barwin too.

UPDATE: Silverstein further reports that the Packers increased their offer to House after his meeting in Pittsburgh. According to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, the deal will be worth approximately $3.5 million.

OK. I like this one for that money. Plays the style Capers wants. Gives them backup, could start if hard pressed, possibly might BE the starter if last year was some kind of coach induced anomaly.

So another Ted reputation bites the dust. He never signs middle of the road vets to fill a role.

Or maybe he's f'cked up so many times doing so he realizes it might be time to change.

Another ted reputation lives on...sign the guy who gets cut so no compensation......CONNOR BARWIN ...............HELLO TED ??

Barwin may very well be an option. 31 other teams haven't stepped up to offer him a contract yet.
