LOOKS GOOD TO ME
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
Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo
Going through some recent deals and seeing new #Panthers WR Seth Roberts got $3.75 million on a one-year deal negotiated by
Roberts cashed in before the receiver market crashed. Good timing.

Anything on Funchess?
Mike Garafolo @MikeGarafolo
They are guarding those numbers like you wouldn’t believe. We’ll get them eventually. Actually heard they’re still working out final details so that’s part of the reason for the delay.
YOU COULD INTERPRET THIS AS HE SIGNED FOR A BARGAIN, BUT THEY ARE DRESSING UP THE BACK END OF THE DEAL TO LOOK BETTER EVEN IF ITS FUNNY MONEY
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

I guess I'm lukewarm satisfied that Ervin is re-signed. At least he was cheap. I think the only reason people have a high opinion of him is the crap that came before him and after Davis who was much better.
Regarding Funchess, if in fact he did come cheap, I guess I'm fairly pleased with that signing too. It's just that we are right back in that same old situation: a cluster of let's say moderately good receivers after Adams, all fairly similar/not very fast (except maybe MVS), all just good enough that it would be shame to cut them, but not yet quite high quality enough to be legitimate 2nd or 3rd receivers.
There are enough outstanding WRs in this draft, and we need D Line and maybe O Line enough that we shouldn't take a WR in the first round, maybe not even the second. My personal choice would be to draft Devin Duvernay - who I am convinced is gonna be a quality NFL receiver - in the 3rd round or maybe even second if it's necessary. The only others I like as well are Mims and Reagor, and it's looking like we would need to use our #1 pick to get them.
This is the free agency thread. I see the Cowboys signed Dontari Poe, after already getting Gerald McCoy. I couldn't find the amounts they signed for, but I sure wish the Packers had gotten one or the other of those - assuming the price was reasonable.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

KR/RB Tyler Ervin's one-year contract with the Packers:
Total cash: $1.047 million.
Signing bonus: $137,500.
Base salary: $910,000.
Salary cap charge: $887,500*.
*Qualifies for veteran salary/salary-cap benefit reduction.
Ervin is a good signing; he's not Aaron Jones but they can use him in some packages. He ran a 4.41 40, so if they figure out the outside zone run and use him there occasionally that could be fun.
Funchess should be a low-cost signing because he was hurt. He immediately competes with Lazard for the #2/3 WR spots. Context for how the GB receivers were sans Adams: 400 yards and 5TDs would have put Funchess in the same neighborhood as Lazard.
How many yards do each skill group need to get receiving? 2800 for WR, 800 TE, 600 RB? If that's even in the ballpark, and you assume Adams gets 1000 that leaves 1800 for the other 4 or maybe 5 WRs, and I doubt Kumerow gets that many - if he makes the team.
As a former resident of this lovely KY town, I find your inverted parochial insults demeaning.
Fritz basically hit for the cycle there. In turn he insulted:
1. Late round draft picks
2. Draft process placing little value on seldom used positions
3. Morehead the college
4. Morehead the town
5. Drafting by athletic traits not tape
One sentence, 18 words.

Well we'd have been WAY better off letting Fritzy make our #12 pick that Guteass
