Get Ready For Muhammad Wilkerson

loved the dude coming out of college

What would he cost annually ?

[Cheesehead Craig]

His production tanked after a big contract, and he was suspended for missing a meeting. Serious red flags that make him look like fat Albert. Maybe there were other factors, but the Packers better make sure, if they are thinking of giving him a significant contract.

He just wanted out of there, can you blame the guy?

I think he puts out when he gets here. Take that however you like.

No idea. A guy who declines after signing a big contract will scare a lot of teams off.

#10 salary for DE's is 11M. #20 is 7.5M. #30 is 5.25M.

i found this in an article from 3 weeks ago

I know of one team, anticipating his release, that has mulled the idea of giving him $5 million for 2018 -- and that might be a stretch.

I'd give him 5M with incentives for more. That's assuming that Pettine, who coached him, thinks he can get something out of him.

I don’t know, if we’re finally gonna spend, is that the position to spend on?

I thought d line was probably the one position where we were good at this off-season

Your correct and Mike McCarthy FIRED the DL Coach !

Pass rush makes a secondary instantly better

I remember REALLY wanting the Packers to get Wilkerson in 2011. Jets took him with the 30th pick. Packers took Sherrod with the 32nd pick.

All the more reason to clamor for this signing, cost be damned!

This. Ima gonna drink some Kool-Aid and say Pettine will get him to produce.

Free agent DE Muhammad Wilkerson will be visiting the #Packers Wednesday, according to a source. He has other visits set up as well, but chose Green Bay first.

Packer Report says he doesn’t get the need here versus other positions. I agree if we play same lineup. MW doesn’t seem like instant pass rush upgrade. But he fits if you want a DE to play a lot of snaps in a 3 man line ahead of Lowry.

and we play a 3-4 where almost none of the pass rush comes from the fat guys up front

well, what was wrong with lowry last season? i thought he looked good

That is a very good question. You could make a case that with those two DEs we are going to see some big guy, actual down lineman 4-3.

But harder to be multiple without Perry and Matthews up front.

Packers are not going to be strictly a 3-4 under Pettine.

Under Pettine and coach Rex Ryan, the Jets used the long-limbed and powerful Wilkerson all over the defensive front. He could play several different positions in the base defense and also line up inside on passing downs to rush the quarterback. Pettine was even comfortable using him on the edge in certain situations.

Wilkerson fits in perfectly with Pettine's multiple-front scheme. Keep in mind also that one reason why the DL was the defense's best unit last year was that they were the healthiest. Daniels, Clark and Lowry only missed 3 games between the 3 of them. They might not be so fortunate this year. Depth on the line is a good thing.

If you can get a motivated, special player on the cheap, you do it, and figure out the scheme stuff later. Packers had a lot of success with three fat boys on the line in 2010. I would have no problem with that at all. Play the best 11 guys and let the positions work themselves out.

That said, I guess I don't see a true gamer changer there ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
