after yesterday's hole plugging, and today's tenders, they're down to $1.49m...that's before any cuts or money moving.

You can be in charge of posting the signs at the Lambeau entrances: “Abandon hope, all ye who enter”

I just heard on ESPN that Blake Martinez signed with the Giants.

I just heard on ESPN that Blake Martinez signed with the Giants.

Ty Snow, or his whatever his name is (lb they drafted in the 7th last year), can mimic Martinez at a lot less frogskins.

Martinez’s Kung Fu ain’t anything extraordinary. I’d pop open a 2005 bottle of Twenty Four by Charles Woodson, but I drunk it already in the aftermath of that abomination, Mr. Hyde, signing with Buffalo.

Bill O'Brien is smoking crack...although for what the Bills gave up for Diggs you wonder.
Ryan Pace might be as well - depending on how that contract for Quinn is structured. He's a good player and an upgrade over Leonard Floyd in the pass rush, but if he doesn't make it to year 3 of that contract it will look ugly, and given he'll be 30 in May he's already in/past his prime. The Bears extended Eddie Jackson and kept Trevathan, and have TEs Graham and Burton on big contracts.

Pace and Nagy are probably done if they don't win at least 8 games, right?
What about Floyd as Fackrell's replacement? :P

Yep. 3/$30M. Good player, good guy, but isn't worth $10M IMO.

A playoff win might not be enough.

Brady expected to sign with Bucs. He'll be playing for Bruce Arians and will have a better group of receivers than he's had in NE for a long time. This could work if Brady has anything left.

Packers will be in good shape for next year's compensatory draft picks. Nick Korte, who tracks potential comp picks for OverTheCap.com, believes they're in line to receive two 2021 fourth-round picks after losing LB Blake Martinez (Giants) and RT Bryan Bulaga (Chargers) plus a sixth rounder for OLB Kyler Fackrell (Giants). Their two signings -- Christian Kirksey and Rick Wagner -- don't count against them because they were cut by their former teams and thus not true unrestricted free agents.

No surprise here but the Packers will retain Allen Lazard on the exclusive rights free agent tender, per a source. Started the year on the waiver wire. Ended the season as WR2 for Aaron Rodgers.

The Packers also tendered CB Chandon Sullivan as an exclusive rights free agent, according to a source. He played the fourth-most snaps among their corners (32.9 percent) last season.

The Packers also have tenderer exclusive rights free agent DT Tyler Lancaster, according to a source. He played the third-most snaps among Green Bay D-linemen (38.1 percent) last season.

Bulaga to Chargers.3 years 30 million.

I'm happy for BB

He was one touch M'fcker

[texaspackerbacker]

I'm glad too that Bulaga got the money from somebody else. "one touch M'fcker"? That sounds more like Spriggs or House or some others we've had - one touch and the pass rusher is gone.

I don't get it though. Doesn't Bruce Arians love a QB with a gigantic arm? Brady can barely throw the ball anymore compared to his peers. As good as the talent around him is, I don't see this one working out.
