2019 Free Agency Thread

Packers also sign OLB Preston Smith - who I like. He's not a dynamic pass rusher, but he's solid all around and durable. He's another bigger OLB for Pettine. This is fun.

Goodbye Clay, Nick Perry, and Tramon Williams.

I think they keep Tramon. Still need another safety and CB depth. No?

Not sure they can afford Bell after these deals. Speculation that the Packers are interested in RET/WR/RB Cordarrelle Patterson and RB Mark Ingram.

Both Smith's are 6'4" 270+.

Is Zadarius a true 2 point stance OLB or is he Suggs/Ware/Miller 3 point stance 98% of the time?

The #Packers are signing former #Bears S Adrian Amos to a 4-year deal worth $37M, source said. He gets $21M in the first two years.

Compared to other safety deals this FA period, that is not bad. Gets downright reasonable in last two years. Perfect Packer contract.

Looked up Turner. Looks like he turned his career around last year a bit and started a bunch of games for Denver.

PFF graded him as the #33 out of 77 starting OGs last year. Denver wanted to resign him and Arizona had interest in him. He can kick out to OT also. Probably be a good depth piece but will compete for starting RG.

For paying him 7M a year, he'd better not just compete at RG, he better be a very solid starting RG.

Packers joining the fray with a bunch of shitty and desperate teams. Let's hope this isn't a sign they'll be consistently joining them after a two year stretch of being in the shitty team club.

I still think Lucas Patrick can do it.

Packers are releasing Nick Perry after agreeing to terms Preston Smith and ZaDarius Smith. Was set to make $11M this season. Will b e a market for him for sure. Young enough and is healthy after battling injuries in 2018

SMH. Harrison Smith.

These moves could also allow..........wait for it...........the Pack to maybe even trade UP in the first round with all these areas of need already addressed and go get a real difference maker if they see one up there in the top 10.

Packers just signed like 180 million dollars in contracts.

Worry not. Packers have $200 M in an offshore bank earning interests faster than the speed of fuck. As for the cap, it can always be cooked.

Bell and Thomas better sign with the Pack by the end of the day. And Cole Fucking Beasley, too.

Vikings were interested in Turner also. He's a local kid from the Twin Cities.

I haven’t done any draft research yet, and by that I mean do what Nutz does and simply watch YouTube highlight reels, but any hotshot, diva WR worth trading up for?

Bye Felicia, we will not miss you. The walking wounded.

Packers are giving former Broncos' OL Billy Turner a four-year, $28 million deal with a max value of $29.5, including $11 million in year one, per source.

A LOT of tape eaters are doubtful about this guy. Speculation is that college scouts (including the O line expert they got from the Ravens) loved the kid as a prospect and then ignore 4-5 years of actual NFL football.

We'll see. I have never watched him.
