Official Packers Offseason News, Non Draft, Non Big Ticket FA

[woodbuck27]

One concern I have about the defense is that the offense never threatened a bunch of teams. So there were more than a couple second halves with the opposing offense off the throttle. The good news is that the run D held up pretty well, but even that might be puffed up by the pourous secondary. Why run when you can pass with impunity?

It was too easy for opposing teams last year.

Hard to watch.

Vegas thinks the Packers might be better than 7-9 this year.

Football Perspective @fbgchase
Vegas has released point spreads for 240 NFL games this year. This means we can generate the implied ratings Vegas has for each team. I did that for you. The Browns are still the worst team, just behind the Jets. The Pats and Steelers are the top two.

That looks like Playoff bound.

The Packers are hiring scout Patrick Moore, who had been with the Browns, a source confirms. (First reported by @InsideTheLeague). GM Brian Gutekunst will likely announce his revamped scouting department soon.

I don't like the way this is going - this is turning into that bad episode of Star Trek where the crazy woman inhabits Kirk's body and vice versa.

If Ted has grown a goatee, we are all in trouble.

I guess this qualifies as Packer news?

For a guy who kept his mouth shut and played the game, Witten isn't taking too long to get into the swing of things, stirring shit and creating headlines instead of reporting on them.

Dez to the Packers? I highly doubt it.

he's a talking head not a journo. it's not like the subject hasn't been a topic of conversation since the moment he was released either.

I don't want talking heads pretending to be reporters. It never works out well. Let them speculate and theorize on stories. They aren't reporters. They are people paid to give their opinions. And never the lines shall blur. Amen.

[Zool]

Well he did put THINK in his article so he was clearly just giving an opinion on the subject. Not sure we're beating him up for an off the cuff speculation.

Is James Jones a reporter? Jones is friends with a lot of Packers/Ex-Packers, so said players give him a tons of insider info. Wasn't Jones the first to break the news about Jordy and Burnett?

Perhaps Dez has told Witten he's leaning toward donning the Green and Gold. Get it done, Gute!

But unlike Jones, this doesn't seem to be sourced or breaking news. He seems to agree with popular speculation.

[Cheesehead Craig]

Won't happen. Nothing to see here.

[call_me_ishmael]

I think it will happen. Why wouldn't it happen? It makes too much sense to not happen. We need receivers. Dez is a great receiver with rare physical gifts. His dwindling production is a by-product of terrible QB play. I'm 100% on board with bringing in Dezzy poo.

[texaspackerbacker]

I just read an article on Packers 24/7 saying the Packers are NOT expected to sign Dez - THANKFULLY!

Bryant's "rare physical gifts" have faded drastically the last few years, and his penchant for pouting and disrupting a team are as strong as ever. Having seen him play for my second favorite team, I DON'T WANT ANY PART OF HIM!

That plus the fact that we have 9 or 10 quality WRs now, and probably can't keep more than 6 or 7 at most.

yup. he was being opinion guy (his new job).
