Official 2020 Free Agency Thread

If I had to guess at what the Packers are gonna do on the OL, I think they trade Lindsley for a conditional pick. Lowest value 6th round. Highest 5th round based on games started.

Patrick starts. Jenkins backup. Taylor backup guard.

Foles is a great pickup for the bears. That's a perfect contract, less the signing bonus for a solid veteran QB. And the defense has potential to be really good. They have a shot next year .

Foles is a good pickup and will be good in Nagy's system. What do they do with Mitch though? Are they benching him? I'm sure it will be a "competition" in camp, but management is going to want to see something for that $15M+ weight on the cap.

Quinn adds to their pass rush... they could be a very tough team next year and primed for a bounce-back. They are going all-in, as they have few draft picks (again) and many pricey veterans... that usually means a small window and then you have an old/overpriced/undertalented roster. I suppose if they fail, Pace and Nagy are gone, in which case they won't care they've mortgaged the future.

From ESPN.com:

Happy NFL New Year. The following Packers are now free agents: Geronimo Allison, Ibraheim Campbell, Tyler Ervin, B.J. Goodson, Ryan Grant, Marcedes Lewis, Will Redmond, Jason Spriggs, Jared Veldheer, Danny Vitale, Tramon Williams, Malcolm Johnson.

[Bretsky]

Packers shoulda matched this. Good deal. Maybe Sackrell wants to play more.

They wanna gift wrap the PT to da Baconman

Matt Schneidman @mattschneidman
#Packers who officially become unrestricted free agents at the top of the hour:

-CB Tramon Williams
-RT Jared Veldheer
-WR Geronimo Allison
-TE Marcedes Lewis
-KR/PR Tyler Ervin
-S Ibraheim Campbell
-ILB B.J. Goodson
-WR Ryan Grant
-OT Jason Spriggs

Saying bye to Geronimo is look overdue

[Bretsky]

I would like to see T Williams back for another yr

[smuggler]

Marcedes Lewis wasn't a FA for long. We brought him back. 1 year and $2.25mil

Each of the last two seasons we paid him $2.1mil

According to Spotrac, we're now rocking about $12.3 mil in cap space, or about $4.5 mil if you consider our rookies. Also, gotta say that ARod's $21.6 mil this year looks pretty damn nice relative to some other signal callers in the league.

Is Eric Ebron still out there ? Think we could get him on the cheaps ??

not in love with that idea; Linsley seems like a solid starter. We already downgraded at RT

Probably not that cheap but I'd love to do it. This dude screams Gooter Guy to me. Great athlete. Still young. Great production with Andy Luck. If he'd do 1 year, 10M fully guaranteed I would do it in a second.

Hot take: I think it's an easy argument to make that the Packers today are worse than they were in January. I'd like to see a few mid-market moves now that the crazy money stuff is largely over.

[smuggler]

What ended our hopes of winning in January was porous run defense and inability of receivers to get open. I don't think we've improved in the run defense, but at the very least we're getting EQ St Brown back, which may help in the passing game. Ultimately, a lot will come down to the draft and our 2nd year players (Jace) making a difference.

As someone who has passed the Wisconsin CPA exams, believe me when I say that the cap can always be cooked.

Yep.

I feel like we are treading water here so far. Added the ILB but lost the Swiss Army Knife and Martinez. Better speed but missing another body inside. No Goodson. No Clark signing. No DL help. No Tramon yet.

On offense, it looks like back a half step. Wagner is not Bulaga even if he requires less investment in a backup for health reasons.

Counting on ESQ and Twitter's suddenly reborn star MVS (everyone is posting video of him versus Bears and Broncos) can't be the whole plan on offense.
