    He'd be a nice mix with Devante. Then send MVS, Allison, and Whitewater Jesus right to the XFL....well...if they can make a XFL team
    TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

    • I think we might actually get a little more out of MVS this year, if he stays healthy. His knee injury really impacted his game. He's not great, but you could do a lot worse at WR4.

        He'd look better as WR 5 or 6

        • I don't want Anderson. It wouldn't be smart to pay big money to a FA WR when there are so many good ones in the draft.
          What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

            By that logic I assume you want a free agent ILB then ???

            • As I've said several times, I want to see the Packers retain Martinez - hopefully for slightly less than the max amount. I don't want a rookie starting, and probably Litttleton would be the only FA upgrade, and he's probably too expensive.

                Tex, it's free agency; we can't have it both ways. So you want them to pay Martinez 10 MIL or More ? I want them to sign a bunch of people for deals too; but it rarely happens

                • The Bears LB (Kwiatkowski) is probably about in line with Blake and should cost quite a bit less. If they're going to spend $12mil/yr on Blake, they should just pay $15 for Littleton.

                    I'm talking $8.5 or 9, not 10 or more, but either way, you can structure it to be cap friendly. For example, $54 for 6 years, $15 million bonus, $1, 4, 5, 7, 10, and 12 million per year. That would be just a $3.5 cap hit the first year and $6.5 the second year.

                    For that money, I'd rather have Martinez than anybody mentioned other than maybe Littleton. Also signing Kirksey for about $3 million if he's healthy would be good. Then we could get by without drafting an ILB in any early round.

                    When you say "sign a bunch of people", what do you mean - what positions? I don't want a WR FA; I'd rather not get Hooper as a TE; Other than that, O Line? D Line? Yeah, I'd be all for spending some money for either. In any of those cases, you can structure a nice cap friendly contract.

                      More cuts today: The #Chargers have released veterans DT Brandon Mebane and LB Thomas Davis, while the #Bengals released LT Cordy Glenn after trying to trade him.

                      Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
                      Vikings officially released DT Linval Joseph and CB Xavier Rhodes.
                      Does Mebane have anything left in the tank? He was a terror back in the day for the Seahawks.

                      Cordy Glenn will have plenty of interest. I think he was at odds with ownership (surprise, Bengals) all season IIRC.

                      I imagine they will try to resign Joseph and Griffin. Don't think Rhodes will be back... I could see him playing for MIA. Everyone knew the day was coming when the Vikings were going to have to disassemble and rebuild that defense -- it was aging and pricey (Kendricks, Barr, Rhodes, Smith, Joseph, Griffin, Hunter... that's a lot of expensive contracts).

                        No to Bryan Bulaga at over $10M/year.
                        No to Cory Littleton at $15M/year.
                        No to Austin Hooper at $10M/year.
                        Yes to Christian Kirksey on the cheap.

                        I like both Kwiatkowski and Schobert. If they can get one for around the price that Adrian Amos cost last year, then do it.
                        Mostly agree.

                        Only thing I'd quibble with is about signing Kwiatkoski 4y/$37M when people are balking at Blake for $10M/yr (rightly so IMO). I'd be reluctant to go above 4/30 w/ 10Mguaranteed for him or Schobert.

                          I shoujld have not used that phrase. My comment was you assumed we could get Martinez for a deal. I also said I'd love to sign others for deals too but bargain shopping is a rarity among good players in the NFL

                          With that being said, I would have loved to see them sign Greg Olson or Delaney Walker (on the cheaps) or Hooper. I'd also take a ILB and OL IF we can get a deal somewhere. Ditto for a WR.. But I doubt we get anybody on the cheaps

                          • It depends what you mean by a deal. I don't think we get a hometown discount or like that, but I do think the $10-12 million number going around is a slight exaggeration - that and like I said, any contract can be structured to be cap friendly with a sizable bonus which also makes it more attractive to the guy signing. All that and I like Martinez better than most of the alternatives, and I sure don't want a rookie out there being our defensive signal caller.

                            As for those TEs, they don't impress me much. I'm inclined to favor going with what we have at TE. Somebody said - and apparently it's true - that Tonyan was a disappointment because he played hurt all year. There's a decent hope that he will be a lot better. And Sternberger - who I've generally been negative about, was a 3rd round pick, and some people think he could have a break out year too.

                            And I strongly doubt there will be any cheap WRs that would be upgrades from what we have.

                              Why would Martinez sign that peice of shit contract? Cut him after year 4 years and it is only 4 years 32 million.
                              But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.
