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

You really think Drew Barrymore would have got the Packers to the Super Bowl?

At least she's bring us some joy and if not she would have some value in a trade

Fritz ‘drafting’ Drew is more like March Madness.

Radio broadcast would have been much more fun. She is a riot compared to Larry and Wayne.

So it appears this is a very good signing, imho, low risk high return possible

Packers signed WR Devin Funchess to a one-year, $2.5 million contract.


The signing is official. The deal includes a $1 million signing bonus, $1.2 million base salary, $50,000 workout bonus and $15,625 for each game active. Finally, another $3.7 million is available in incentives, meaning Funchess can make up to $6.25 million. It's not quite the type of money that would indicate a locked-in role. Still, all hope is not lost for Funchess (turns 26 in May) just yet. He's flashed the type of contested-catch ability that should serve him well as Aaron Rodgers' potential No. 2 pass-game option. 2019 was a waste due to bad injury luck, but previously Funchess played in 61-of-64 regular season games with the Panthers from 2015-2018. While most of us would've preferred a Robby Anderson signing here, Funchess carries a sneaky-high ceiling entering 2020.

That is $1 million out the door immediately, and $1.5 million ($1.2 mil base, $50K workout and $250K weekly roster) payable only if he survives the year. Is he a vested vet? Is his $1.2 mil base guaranteed first week of season if he is on roster?

Not bad. But they will need to move some cap around assuming nothing else changes.

I bet you could get away will giving that kind of money to a below average QB like Tom Brady and still win some Superbowls with your defense.

Or draft a dam good QB and win the big show on his first cheap contract like Russell Wilson and Myhommmmes

Glad to hear we got Funchess cheap. Now let's get what we really need, a speed guy in the 3rd or maybe 2nd round - I say again, Duvernay is my choice.

Why do you like him more than Mims or Raegor ? Just curious

Curtis Samual is available for trade. I’d trade a 4th for him in an instant. Keep acquiring speedy quick guys when they can get quality value.

Is Samuel really that good ? I want Jaegor/Mims/Duvernay AND my boy Ceephus !!!!!!!

I think he could be a playmaker. He's in a weird spot because I could easily imagine him playing the exact same spot at Christian McCaffrey. I think he'd be an exceptional third running back or change-of-pace guy. He was so fast at OSU.

I would be fine drafting another receiver or two high as well. WR, OT, DL.

[Bretsky]

I'd draft two WR's and if there is a high upside TE like the ND guy I'd jump at him too.

It'd be sweet if we got Jonathan Taylor and Ceephus.....lol....I know..pipe dream

[texaspackerbacker]

Because I think he might still be there in the 3rd, and for sure in the 2nd - that and I think he is about 98% as good as those other two - maybe better based on college performance. I want a D Lineman in the 1st round because we need that more, and there is far less depth of talent at D Line. I'd prefer going after an O Lineman in the second, same reason.
