Uhhh, Kyle Fuller?

[Vincenzo]

Glad if we drove the price upward

But I'm a bit worried about our CB"s

No kidding!

Don't worry, Kizer will help.

Bears match the Packers offer per the Chicago Tribune. Fuller to stay a Bear:

He's pretty talented at throwing the ball to DBs. They will get a lot of INT practice from Kizer.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports...316-story.html

4-year, $56 million deal or averaged at $14 million /Year.

People here are concerned about the cost to the CAP and the upcoming signing of Aaron Rodgers.

Talk to the Packer BRASS and that !

Well, Phase 1 FA has developed a problem. https://www.jsonline.com/story/sport...eet/433543002/

The Packers have watched as cornerback after cornerback has flown off the shelves in free agency, perhaps taken by surprise at the amount of money being thrown at the position. Among the corners who signed deals in the first two days of free agency were Johnson (Jets), Butler (Titans), Patrick Robinson (Saints), Morris Claiborne (Jets), T.J. Carrie (Browns) and Aaron Colvin (Texans).

One of the cornerbacks in whom the Packers had expressed interest, Indianapolis' Rashaad Melvin, was set to sign Friday with the Oakland Raiders.

Some of the cornerbacks that remain on the market are Buffalo's E.J. Gaines, Cincinnati's Adam "Pacman" Jones and the New York Giants' Ross Cockrell. But the Packers' best option right now is probably to re-sign veteran Davon House and perhaps bring back former starter Tramon Williams.

At least we got a backup QB.

Here is the hybrid Ron Wolf/Mike Ditka approach to the CB problem.

^^^^ Best Player Available!!

Don't cry about Fuller - he always wets the bed anyway.

[Bretsky]

Don't worry, Kizer will help.

Ouch; that was painful.

Kizer fits in perfectly through. We got a backup QB who has accuracy issues. Now we have two !! lol

I'd love it if James fell to us...

Not thrilled with the CB's I've looked at so far... Isaiah Oliver is at the top of my wish list so far. If he ran a little faster he'd likely be a top 10 pick. As it is, he ran a 4.51 at the combine. His overall skills are very good.

I had written that the Bears did the Packers a favor by matching the offer sheet so fast, or the Packers cap space could have been held hostage for up to five days.

Patler had asked if it wasn't still the case that the team making an offer sheet (Packers on Fuller) did not need the cap space until the deadline.

No one has stated it explicitly, but I think this Dougherty article hints at the answer: http://www.packersnews.com/story/spo...ons/433523002/

The Bears quickly matched so the Packers’ work was for naught. All they did was negotiate the contract for Chicago, and really they're lucky the Bears didn't keep them in limbo for the allowed five days. The Packers still have a couple of big holes at their top three cornerback spots, and not much left in free agency to pick over.

Doing a lot of inferring here, but limbo would seem to imply the Packers don't have to have the designated cap space immediately as Patler indicated. But that whatever plan you need to execute has to be ready for those five days. Effectively taking those moves and space and placing them on hold even if its unofficial. You have to act as though that money was spent and those moves might be made.

Unless its the Bears and they match so fast you don't even have time to prep a news release.

He won't develop until the Packers get someone in as a legitimate competition.

If the Packers go CB at NO. 14 it better be the absolute BEST Prospect falling to them; otherwise I feel it has to be a choice between EDGE's Harold Landry and Marcus Davenport. A lot of that will come down to the interviews and maturity. Landry looks better to me on Tape but either EDGE Rusher that may be chosen must be a starter. Can that EDGE handle NFL Caliber big and strong OT's?

On Tape Marcus Davenport looked a tad challenged in that Department.

Back to the smaller and speed Guys and the huge issues I see at CB and featured Wide Receiver. We need that Guy that can take the heat off of Davante Adams.

This isn't a Sprint now but a Middle Distance Race and getting to another Super Bowl, with all the pieces legitimately in place. We are behind when you consider the Packers lost two first round Draft Picks in the most recent Seasons; and those Guys are doing just fine out of the Packer Coaching System.

It's now the time to look forward not back. To re-build before it's too late and Aaron Rodgers Here's where Aaron Rodgers and His REAL toughness Vs breakabilty is going to come into clear view.

GO PACK GO !

The #Packers offer sheet to CB Kyle Fuller that the #Bears matched, has a 2018 cap number of $6.5 million. It jumps to $13.5M in '19, $17.5M in '20 and $18.5M in '21. First-year cap made it easy for the #Bears to match. They'll pay $20M to him in the first year.
