    Everybody knows, or everybody should know, it's a game of replacement. More power to the players who get a big pay day. A player deserves whatever the market will bear. I am thankful that our GM doesn't panic and sticks to his guns about what he thinks a player is worth in terms of cap hit.

    Even though some fans perceive there to be a lot of money under the cap, that doesn't mean it has to burn a hole in the GM's pocket, or cause him to panic about life without that player, or overpay to keep that player. Every GM knows it's a game of replacement, and have to operate like that, with a long view of the future. Fans just want to win now, which I get with a franchise QB. Nobody wants to go back to the scary cap days of Sherman. 2005-2006 was pretty lean around our franchise QB. If going all in means a cap mess later, count me out.

      Lang was a good player. Borderline elite for a few seasons. Not quite. He was not a Hall of Fame must-keep. So, we don't keep for $10mil/year. Seems reasonable to me. Thanks for the comp pick, Leos!

      Forrest Lamp is a possibility in the 1st round. Played OT in college, projects as an OG in the NFL. We know how TT loves that shit. Also, he played very well at OG in the Senior Bowl.

        Great stuff from @TomSilverstein: #Packers opened at $7M APY, raised offer to keep TJ Lang. Didn't get close enough.

        Spoon says that significantly might be poor choice of word, subsequently says that Packers raised their offer but did not get to Lions offer level.
        Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

          Lamp also had a nice showing at the Combine.

            You ain't Lion.

            As a distant Packer fan, I kept seeing Lang on the injury list and/or helped/carted off the field. I hear he's Packer People, but I don't think he's got 30 of 48 fourth quarters in the regular season left in him.
            I believe in God, family, Baylor University, and the Green Bay Packers.

                This is not enough to make me think he is the unquestioned starter, but its not exactly vet minimum either.

                C-G-T Don Barclay's one-year, $1.025m deal with #Packers contains $150,000 s-bonus, $100,000 workout bonus and $775,000 minimum base salary.

                  Yuck. Normally guys round into form at Donnny's age, not drop off a cliff.

                    M3 at one point last year thought injuries and the recovery cost Barclay on the field. I seem to recall him scoring better during his fill-in stints in 2016.

                    They might be believers again.

                      Good for Lang, but the oline in general got really expensive this year. Kind of wish we got barclay on a 2 year deal as backup.

                        You also can't put a value on Lang's toughness/heart. But TT seems to love his pussified players.

                          This is of course why Lang got a second contract from TT.

                            Toughness and heart only go so far as the body fails. Better to cut ties a year early than a year late.
