Apparently the on-roster replacements weren't enough - Jahri Evans signing

[BZnDallas]

all tt had to do to keep lang was pay him. cap wasn't an issue. we're talking about whether free agency has improved the Packers this season. has it? well obviously no. an upgrade at one position doesn't make it so.



cook vs bennett: upgrade with bennett. lang vs evans: downgrade with evans (evidently the Packers coaches were very upset about the lang loss)

You don't pay top dollar to the least important position on the offensive line. TT has a clear record of that, do we need to list them? Let me rephrase that. GOOD teams don't pay top dollar to Guards. That's why the Lions did....

but are we better on the field for tt's thrift? we're simply not. THIS Packers team needs upgrades to go to the superbowl.

But not all upgrades come from free agency. Upgrades also come from players getting healthy, players improving, the draft, better schemes etc.

I think the improvement at the TE position (Don't forget Kendricks) will at least offset the losses on the offensive line.

i think guys improving on their own will be offset by guys not improving, and the guys who improved the year before, or the guys we lost

if things worked the way you say, then every team would get better every single year. and that just simply isn't the case

and like i've said before. i think bennett is a slight upgrade over cook, and kendricks might be a slight upgrade from dick rod. not a huge upgrade. plus both are only on one year deals, much like all our FA signings, which i can't get out of my head

I love the new Te----- Elliot Wolf.

true but that's what we were discussing. not the draft or the cap. just talent lost and talent picked up.

Were the terms of his contract ever reported?

That was a different thread. Pretty silly to only count that as the way to make improvements. You're strictly looking at FA and placing blame at TTs feet for what you don't like. TT has FA and the draft to improve his team. The main point here you aren't understanding is he's not going to sign the FA YOU want if he thinks he can fill the hole via the draft. That's wasting resources.
